The FIA Formula 1 World Championship (F1 for short), is the highest-level annual field racing competition organized by the International Federation of Motor Sports (FIA). It is the highest-level racing competition in the world today. It is known as the "three major sports events in the world" together with the Olympic Games and the World Cup football matches. The first race was held at the 1950 Silverstone Circuit in England.
Racing System:
In early car competitions, the racing cars were generally used with at least two seats, and single-seat racing cars did not appear until the late 1920s. The racing cars used in F1 competitions are single-seat special racing cars. This kind of racing car is generally not allowed to drive on ordinary roads, and it is even less likely to be produced in an assembly line in an ordinary car factory. Instead, it is designed and manufactured separately by the racing department of each car company or the car factory.
F1 competition usually starts in March every year and ends at the end of October every year, and adopts a single-year league system. The competition is planned to have 16 to 17 competitions each year (20 competitions reached 20 competitions in the 2012 season), and each sub-station will produce a sub-station champion. The contestant with the highest total scores in each sub-station throughout the year will become the F1 world champion of that year.
December 2013. The FIA approved the new rules of Formula 1 World Championship (F1): Double points will be given to the final stop from 2014, F1 drivers will be assigned a fixed number, and the penalty for entering the race for 5 seconds will be added. The team budget cap will be launched in 2015.
Parameter Qualification:
Like ordinary cars driving, driving an F1 car requires a driver's license. The driver's license of the F1 racing athlete is approved and issued by the FIA "Super Driver's License (FIA Super) Licence), this "super driver's license" is only issued to drivers who perform outstandingly in F3000, F3 or CART series.
2009's super driver's license is 10,400 euros, and a point threshold of 2,100 euros/min is also obtained, and an insurance premium of 2,720 euros is also attached.
Racing performance:
F1 racing can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach 200 km/h in 5 seconds;
F1 racing has strong braking characteristics, which can slow down from 300 km/h to 0 km/h in 3.5 seconds, and brake distance is 65 meters;
The energy required to reduce a car from 315 km/h to 185 km/h is equivalent to the energy to make an elephant jump up for 10 meters;
F1 drivers have to shift gears more than 3,000 times during the race. BMW team once counted that an engine would need to be ignited about 8 million times during the Grand Prix.
In the race, the temperature at the F1 exhaust pipe can reach 800℃;
After each race, the chassis of the F1 racing car needs to be disassembled and more than 200 items are checked.
Therefore, the manpower, material and financial resources are intensive to produce a qualified F1 car.

Compared with European and American countries, there are only a handful of excellent F1 drivers in my country. Since the event was held, it took more than 70 years for a formal driver to appear in my country. This not only reflects the overall attitude of our people towards automobile competitions, but also reflects the current environmental status of my country's automobile industry.Although Zhou Guanyu's appearance fills the gap in this area, compared with the racing atmosphere in European and American countries, we still have a long way to go.
