How does the F1 weekend work? What’s F1 Sprint? And why is it called Formula 1? You’ve got questions – we’ve got answers...
WHO RACES IN F1?
Extreme g-forces. Daring decisions made in the blink of an eye – and at 370kph. Dramatically battling to be the best, Formula 1 drivers are more like fighter pilots than sportspeople. Only 22 get the chance to compete, and they push themselves – and their incredible machines – to the very limit.
WHO ARE THE F1 TEAMS?
Formula 1 is a team sport. It needs to be to change all four tyres on a car in under two seconds! F1 teams design and build their cars and get them ready to race. Each has their own history. Each has their own unique approach. All want to be the fastest. But who should you root for?
WHERE DOES F1 RACE?
Some sports play stadiums. Our 'stadiums' span cities. With 24 races in amazing locations across five continents, Formula 1 is truly an international sport.
