An insight into the f1 grand prix – the journey of speeds

According to the world’s governing body for motorsport, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), Formula 1 is ranked as the maximum level of any open wheeled automobile racing. The word “Formula” that appears in the name of the contest is used to denote the rules and regulations that must be followed by cars and participants to be a part of the competition. Each season in the F1 championship is made up of sequences of different races that arereferred to as the F1 Grand Prix; a world championship usually staged on circuits that are built for the purpose, as well as -in some cases- on city streets that are closed. Among these races, the Monaco circuit usually held in Monte Carlo is the most famous. Annually, results from each F1 Grand prix are merged to determine the two bests in terms of the driver and the constructor for the world championships. One of the things you will enjoy about F1 seasons is seeing the cars moving at an extremely high speed. Some of these cars move at a speed up to 225mph and have the capacity to pull up to 5g in some corners (where g represents the measurement of the object’s acceleration. 1g denotes the Earth’s gravity force that keeps holding us on the ground). Traditionally, Europe is known as the center for grand prix formule 1 (Formula 1 grand prix). Most of the drivers and teams that participate in the championship usually hail from the same continent. Nevertheless, this is no more the case because the scope of F1 racing has moved beyond a continental scale in recent years, making it possible for the races to be held at different parts of the globe. Over the years, there have been a lot of changes in the race calendar in order to accommodate for the teeming increase in the population of people participating. In 1950, the inaugural World Championship season featured just seven races. However, there has been a continuous variation in the amount of races held in a F1 season. Presently, the calendar of the races has tripled what the one it started with in 1950. Although, dating back to the 1980s, the races remained at 17 or 16, but the number climbed as high as 19 in 2005, Meanwhile, out of the seven original races, six of them were staged in Europe, leaving just a single race, which took place towards the end at the end U.S: it was initially named the Indianapolis 400, but the name was later changed to the United States race because of the different cars specification required for the races. Presently F1 Grand prix has expanded to several non-European nations including Argentina, Asia, Africa and Australia.
