Proud Formula 1 Fan

Feel proud to say that you are a Formula 1 fan.

Formula one racing is the spectacular show of racing since the inaugural season in 1950. Formula 1 Motorsport is not just about racing ,it's a set of rules which every person has to follow in order come up as winner. So it is called "Formula 1".

Formula One cars are the fastest road course racing cars in the world. Formula One cars race at speeds of up to approx.380 km/h (240 mph) with engines currently limited in performance to a maximum of 15,000 RPM. It's not just about speed but also electronics, aerodynamics, traction, suspension and tyres.

Approximate 80,000 components come together to make an F1 car. The cars have to be assembled with cent per cent accuracy. If it were assembled 99.9% correctly, it would go on the track with 80 components wrongly placed. And when an F1 driver puts brakes on his car he experiences huge retardation or deceleration. It could be compared to a regular car driving through a brick wall at the speed of 300kmph. F1 car is quick that it can accelerate from 0 to 160 kph and decelerate back to 0 in just four seconds. At the time of refilling the car back in the years it would take only 1 second to fill up 12 litre.

What about the F1 drivers..?
An average F1 driver losing about 4kgs of weight after just one race due to high G force and high temperature. However he gains the weight later. A person who has lost 4% of body weight can lose up to 40% of their psycho-physical ability.
Before race, drivers drink lot of water to avoid dehydration. The Formula One cockpits generate lot of heat and make drivers sweat off their weight during the race.

More to come... Be a proud Formula 1 Fan
