Forma1es

Forma1es is a term sometimes used to refer to Formula 1 racing, the highest class of international single-seater auto racing. It is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The sport features a global championship contested annually over a series of Grand Prix races, held on purpose-built circuits and public roads. Drivers compete in custom-built, open-wheel cars powered by highly advanced hybrid engines.

The origins of Formula 1 can be traced back to European Grand Prix motor racing in the 1920s and 1930s. The current championship structure began in 1950. Teams consist of constructors who design and build the cars, and drivers who pilot them. The sport is known for its cutting-edge technology, intense competition, and significant commercial appeal. Key elements of a Formula 1 season include qualifying sessions to determine race starting positions, the races themselves, and an awards system that crowns both a Drivers' Champion and a Constructors' Champion. The sport continues to evolve with regular changes to technical regulations aimed at improving performance, safety, and sustainability.
