WALLPAPER FORMULA 1

Formule 1, afgekort als Of de volledige naam FIA ​​Formule One World Championship

Formula 1, abbreviated as F1 (or the full name FIA ​​Formula One World Championship), is the highest class of single-seat car racing regulated by the International Automotive Federation (FIA) and owned by the Formula One Group. The word formula in "Formula One" refers to the rules and regulations that all participants must follow.[2] Formula One consists of a series of races known as Grand Prix. The races are held in circuits or public roads in the city which are closed to the public.

The results of each race are calculated using a points system to determine two world titles: one for the drivers, and one for the constructors. Each race must hold a Super Licence, the highest class of race license granted by the FIA.[3] F1 races must be held on a circuit rated "1" (formerly "A"), which is the highest circuit rating in the FIA ​​ranking system.[3]

Formula One cars are the fastest racing cars in the world, due to the high cornering speeds generated by the large downforce aerodynamics. In 2017 there was a major regulatory change[4] allowing for a wider front wing, rear wing and tires. This change allows cornering forces to reach 6.5 g and an estimated maximum speed of 360 km/h.[5] As of 2019, the hybrid engine speed is limited to around 15,000 rpm.

Traction control systems and other electronic assists have been banned from Formula One since 2008.[6][7]

While Europe is at the heart of the Formula One tradition, the championship is held all over the world, with 12 of the 23 races of the 2021 season taking place outside Europe.
