F1: The Beginner's Guide
Formula 1 can be confusing, especially with the technical language and difficult strategy calls. And, while the commentators do their best, it is often difficult to keep up. So, here are some things that I think it is good to know about Formula One.
Let's start with what F1 actually is, before introducing the technical knowledge.
Formula One is the highest ranking of single-seater racing, with the fastest cars, biggest budgets and most famous names.
The 2023 season consists of 10 teams and 20 drivers, 2 per team. If you aren't familiar with the drivers and teams, read this page .
The drivers championship is awarded to the person who collects the most championship points in a season
The constructors championship is awarded to the constructor (team) that collects the most points in a season. This value is both drivers' points added together.
As you can see, I've gathered a lot of information about Formula One and how it works. But I'm also aware that this page is nowhere near complete. So, if there is something you're still unsure about or you think other people will want to know, please tell us about it using the form below. It would really help to gather important information for other people :)
