🏎 FORMULA 1 🏎
THE BEST SPORT IN HISTORY!
Formula 1 cars are works of art. They have had some of the loudest, most powerful engines ever seen and grip levels unheard of anywhere else. The cars can turn, squeeze and literally just manipulate normal air to make the car go faster than anyone around the corners.
AN F1 CAR CAN GO FROM 0-100MPH AND BACK DOWN TO 0 IN AS LITTLE AS 4 SECONDS, I mean we all know they're fast. But this is crazy. During the breaking, brakes in an F1 car can reach 1000*C AND STILL WORK FINE!!! It's often said braking late in an F1 car is one of the most important skills to have; iconic drivers like Ayrton Senna, Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo all have it, but it's thanks to these incredible mechanisms that they're able to do so.
DRIVERS CAN LOSE UP TO 6KG DURING THE LEGENDARY SINGAPORE GP, Who needs weight-loss plans? Just drive an F1 car for 2 hours in Singapore! Because it's so intensely hot in Singapore the cockpit can get up to 60*C and drivers only have a limited amount of water they can drink during the race, therefore purely through dehydration and sweating they can lose huge amounts of weight in no time. The race is long, very technical and set in a street circuit so it is a huge test of physical and mental capacity for the drivers to simply keep the car on the road.
ONE F1 CAR WOULD COST YOU $7M TO MAKE, It's the world's most expensive sport. And simply building a car to start the grid with costs you a monstrous amount; a front wing (which is only really a sculpted piece of carbon fiber) starts at £150,000. 5 times the average yearly salary for the UK.
