F 1 is called "the three major sports in the world" because of its wide influence and high popularity.
The FIA, FIA, has three principles and rules about F 1 competition:
1. In order to provide a relatively level playing field for racers and enable them to develop their potential, all dimensions of racing cars are clearly stipulated, including the weight, dimensions, fuel type, cylinder and tire dimensions of racing cars, and the installation of aerodynamic devices.
2. In order to prevent accidents, the most perfect safety measures are provided. The basic structure of the car, military tires, safety rubber fuel tank, fuel flame retardant, safety helmet and other devices are specified, and the dimensions of drivers entering and leaving the cockpit and cabin are specified. At the same time, the position of fuel depot and fuel depot in the maintenance station is stipulated, and the protective measures of Zhumen are also required.
3. The cylinder of the engine of racing car should be oval, no more than 8 cylinders. At the same time, there should be 4-stroke interchange type and natural inhalation type; Two of the four tires in this car can be driven.
Because of the particularity of F 1 competition, there are very strict requirements on the length, width, road surface condition and safety measures of special track, in order to avoid danger. So the track is generally circular, 3? 7 kilometers, the total length of the track is 305? 320 kilometers, he generally can't have too long straight, and there should be wide grass or sand beside the track to reduce the threat to the audience.
For a qualified dedicated track, the following equipment is essential:
1, the track must have many corners to control the speed. The current track is 3 to 7 kilometers per lap, 7 to 1 1 meter wide.
2. The starting and ending straights should be able to place two cars side by side without being crowded, so it is generally required that12m is wide and 250m long.
3. For the safety of spectators, the stands must be separated from the track by railings and barbed wire with a height of1.2m..
4. The track must be equipped with cameras and TV towers to facilitate TV broadcast.
In order to let the audience in the stands see the whole process of the game clearly, a large-screen TV set must be installed opposite the stands.
6. The safety officer should set up an observation station in a relatively dangerous area, so that the safety officer can keep the track unobstructed at any time, handle emergencies in time, and send a potential dangerous safety signal to the driver.
There is a helicopter to give first aid to the injured driver.
8. In the protective place next to the maintenance station, there should be a medical station with an operating room and an emergency room.
9. Each team should be equipped with a permanent facility maintenance point.
10, the sponsor reception stand is located in the high stand behind the pit and must be able to overlook the pit.
1 1, there should be parking lots for transport vehicles and campers.
12. In order to facilitate the commander to contact the safety personnel through the radio device and ensure the smooth progress of the race, the race control tower must be set at the place where the entrance of the pit can be seen, that is, the second floor of the whole control tower.
F 1 you also need a driver's license. That's a "super driver's license" issued by FIA-FIA Super License. This driver's license is only issued to drivers who have performed well in F3000, F3 or CART series. It usually takes eight years for a driver to progress from karting to F 1, but in fact only a few people have the ability and opportunity to climb to the top of the racing pyramid.
The starting price in 2008 is 10000 euros, and drivers have to pay 2000 euros per minute for the points they get. Last year, these two figures were 1.725 euros and 456 euros respectively.
This means that the 2007 world champion Raikkonen will spend 230,000 euros-almost 65,438+099,255 euros more than what he spent in 2007. Two Ferrari drivers will spend a total of 428,000 euros.

Every year, F 1 competition should choose different venues with different geographical conditions. Some of them are now on the plateau, and the thin air tests the physical quality of drivers; Some are racetracks composed of streets, with narrow and tortuous roads, and drivers will crash if they operate improperly; Some tracks seem to have wide roads, but they also have the skills to test drivers' uphill and downhill; Other tracks are built in dense forests, and the runway fluctuates greatly, making it difficult for drivers to control the car. Due to frequent racing accidents, the FIA requires that all tracks in the host country must have enough grass buffer zones. The ambulance personnel of each stadium must also be distributed in every corner of the stadium, and strive to run into the scene for rescue at the moment of the accident.

Rules for the 2008 Qualifying Tournament:
The first qualifying session: 20 minutes (in 2006-07, it was 15 minutes, and now it is 12 team, so the first session gave the small team more opportunities).
The second qualifying session: 15 minutes (also in the 2006-2007 season)
Qualifying in the third quarter: 10 minutes (in 2006-2007, it was 15 minutes, so the fuel consumed in qualifying in the third quarter will not be replenished during the competition).
F 1 year championship is divided into two categories, driver championship and team championship. In the eyes of many F 1 experts, the value of the team championship is greater than the driver championship. The scoring method is the integral system, and the points of drivers and teams are cumulative. Team points are accumulated by the points of two drivers. If the race is forced to stop before 75% of the race, the points must be multiplied by 1/2, and the world champion of the driver and the team can be determined by accumulating points at each sub-station. If the final score is the same, compare the number of champions, runners-up and runners-up in each substation ... until one side is more than the other. If it is still the same, it is necessary to compare the fastest lap time and pole position in the race, and the final way will be decided by drawing lots.
