2. Introduction Formula One (also known as Formula 1 or F1) is the highest class of international auto racing for single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)  A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as  Grands Prix , which take place worldwide on purpose-built  circuits  and closed public roads. The results of each race are evaluated using a  points system  to determine two annual World Championships:  one for drivers , the other  for constructors . Each driver must hold a valid  Super Licence , the highest class of racing licence issued by the FIA. Formula One cars  are the fastest regulated  road-course   racing cars  in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic  downforce .

3. Formula 1 Cars Formula 1 cars with time have grown in size and there has been massive evolution in their chassis design, aerodynamics and speed.

4. The various racing teams involved in Formula1 are: Mercedes AMG petronas f1 team Mclaren F1 Alpine F1 Scuderia Alpha Tauri Haas F1 team Redbull Racing F1 Aston Marton F1 team Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeo Racing F1 Williams Racing F1 Formula 1 Teams

6. A Formula One Grand Prix event spans a weekend. It begins with two free practice sessions on Friday (except in Monaco, where Friday practices are moved to Thursday), and one free practice on Saturday. Additional drivers (commonly known as third drivers) are allowed to run on Fridays, but only two cars may be used per team, requiring a race driver to give up his seat. A qualifying session is held after the last free practice session. This session determines the starting order for the race on Sunday. Formula1 Weekend

7. Formula1 Championship A Formula One constructor is the entity credited for designing the chassis and the engine. If both are designed by the same company, that company receives sole credit as the constructor (e.g.  Ferrari ). If they are designed by different companies, both are credited, and the name of the chassis designer is placed before that of the engine designer (e.g.  McLaren - Mercedes ). All constructors are scored individually, even if they share either chassis or engine with another constructor

8. Every team in Formula One must run two cars in every session in a Grand Prix weekend, and every team may use up to four drivers in a season.Most modern drivers are contracted for at least the duration of a season, with driver changes taking place in-between seasons, in comparison to early years where drivers Formula1 Drivers often competed at an ad hoc basis from race to race. Each competitor must be in the possession of a  FIA Super Licence  to compete in a Grand Prix

9. Formula1 Champions A total of 33 separate drivers have won the World Drivers' Championship, with  Michael Schumacher  and  Lewis Hamilton  holding the record for most championships with seven.  Lewis Hamilton  achieved the most race wins, too, in 2020.Drivers from the United Kingdom have been the most successful in the sport, with 18 championships among 10 drivers, and 278 wins among 19 drivers.

10. Formula1 Regulation The race teams take advantage of this by placing this ballast at the extreme bottom of the chassis, thereby locating the centre of gravity as low as possible in order to improve handling and weight transfer. Modern Formula One cars are mid- engined , hybrid, open cockpit, open wheel single-seaters. The chassis is made largely of carbon- fibre composites, rendering it light but extremely stiff and strong. The whole car, including the driver but not fuel, weighs only 740 kg (1,630 lb ) – the minimum weight set by the regulations. If the construction of the car is lighter than the minimum, it can be ballasted up to add the necessary weight.

11. Best F1 moments of 2020 Lando Norris gets his first F1 podium at the age of 22 years for Mclaren F1. Max Verstappen wins in Austria for Redbull Racing.

12. Sir Lewis Hamilton becomes 7time world champion by winning the Turkish Grand Prix for Mercedes. Romain Grosjean survives from a horrific crash at Bahrain Grand Prix after being in fire for more than 15 seconds. Miracles do happen!

13. Deserved Victories! Pierre Gasly gets his redemption after getting demoted from Redbull Racing as he won the Italian Grand Prix for Scuderia Alpha Tauri marking his first victory in the sport. Sergio Perez clinches his first career victory after being in the sport for more than 10 years for Racing Point Formula1 Team.

14. Formula 1 is a sport of Speed and Strategy. Just like any other sport it also has it’s high points with new champions and grand prix winners but it also has its low points with the high speed accidents involved. But the most important thing is that this sport never stops. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the formula1 2020 season went ahead after some delays, and it was the first sport to bring back fans in live attendance. 2021 is going to be a big year formula1 as it is going to be the last season before regulation change. Formula1 2021 season has a lot in bag with 23 races and we never know what might happen at any second in this sport, because Race winning decisions are made in split seconds only.
