What is Formula 1 (F1)? 🏎️

Formula One racing (F1), one of the open-wheel motorsport disciplines, is considered the pinnacle of motorsport. Numerous events are held worldwide on tracks built to strict standards, including races on public roads known as "Street circuits." F1 races are governed by the FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile), which sets the rules and regulations for the sport. These rules are designed and constructed by the teams competing for the world championship and must adhere to stringent technical regulations regarding engine size, weight, car dimensions, and other specifications as determined by the FIA.

The driver with the highest points at the end of the season will be crowned the "World Drivers Champion" or the World Champion for drivers, and the team with the highest combined points from the two drivers will be awarded the World Constructors Champion.

The 2025 Formula 1 World Championship saw Lando Norris take the title of World Champion in the Drivers' category, while McLaren secured the Constructors' Championship title.

Typically, the F1 season runs from March to December, with the races known as Grands Prix. Points are awarded to the top 10 finishers in each race.

The 2026 Formula 1 season brings one of the biggest rule changes in the sport's history, affecting everything from the engine, car design, overtaking systems, and energy usage, making the competition quite different from before. The main rule changes include:

1. The DRS system is replaced by "Overtake Mode" for overtaking.
2. A new hybrid engine model, with more emphasis on electric power.
3. The use of 100% sustainable fuel.
4. New car design: smaller and lighter.
5. Active Aerodynamics system: front and rear wings can change modes.
6. New signal lights on the cars for added safety.
7. New teams like Audi and Cadillac joined the competition.
