F1

F1 refers to Formula One racing, also known as Grand Prix racing. F1 is the highest class of auto racing in the world and sanctioned by the governing FIA organization. Why is F1 called formula? This is because formula implies a set of rules which all racers and cars must follow. The F1 world championship season sees a series of races held on specially made circuits and occasionally on closed city streets. (Not a good idea to have an FI race on regular city streets at noon hour) Each race's outcome is a determining factor to the world championship. There are two championships – for drivers and for constructors.
