Why is this sport named F1
Analysis:
F1 is the abbreviation of Formula One, which is called one in Chinese. Formula 1 racing. Cars built with the same formula (rule restrictions) are called formula racing cars, and the highest level among them is F1. Many people mistakenly think that a single-seat racing car with four exposed tires is called F1, which is a huge misunderstanding. F1's status in today's racing field is like the "Olympics" or "World Cup"; there are currently 11 participating teams in F1***, with a maximum of 22 drivers taking part in each game, and 16 to 17 stops are planned each year The competition usually starts around mid-March and ends at the end of October. Each race can attract more than 1 billion people to watch this world's top event through television broadcasts or other media.
In addition to a large number of regulations, especially related to safety and aerodynamics, the current "formula" is limited to a total engine cylinder volume of 3 liters, a supercharger is prohibited, and a minimum vehicle weight of 600 kilograms (including Drivers and racing equipment). From the first car race in history in 1894 (Paris to Lyon) to 1900, the word "Formula" did not appear. The car competition at that time was very simple. They were divided into groups based on combustion method (gasoline engine and steam engine) and the number of seats. At that time, cars had at least two seats, and it was not until the late 1820s that single-seat racing cars appeared.
