Developed in 1950, Formula One is the world’s premier motor racing championship. The competition consists of several Grand Prix races that are held across the globe. The series is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile, or FIA. Formula One cars have aerodynamic designs to reduce drag, increase speed, and decrease the risk of overheating. The HANS System reduces the impact on sensitive areas such as the head. Carbon-carbon disc brakes provide a high level of braking performance.
Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1 and referred to officially as the FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA). The “formula,” designated in the name, refers to a set of rules with which all participants’ cars must comply. Each driver is allowed to drive only three power units during a season, and each car is designed to carry enough fuel for a two-hour race. If a driver exceeds this number, they are penalized.
Several variables, such as weather, track condition, and incidents, influence a race, which can affect a team’s strategy. For example, in extreme weather, a race may last longer. The new Formula One power unit introduced in 2014 is a hybrid 1.6-liter turbocharged V6. In 2025/2026, the next-generation power unit will be made from 100% sustainable fuels. This will keep the spirit of innovation alive while preserving the thrill of motorsport.
