The World's Fastest Racing Series
Formula 1 is the highest class of single-seater auto racing in the world. Run by the FIA since 1950, every year 20 drivers from 10 teams race across up to 24 circuits on 5 continents to win the World Championship. The cars are the most technologically advanced racing machines ever built — generating so much downforce they could theoretically drive upside down.
What Makes an F1 Car Special?
An F1 car weighs around 800kg (including the driver) and produces over 1,000 horsepower. In 2026 the cars use hybrid power units running on 100% sustainable fuel. They accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 2.5 seconds, reach 350+ km/h, and brake from 300 km/h to standstill in under 4 seconds.
F1 races on 5 continents — from the streets of Monaco to the jungles of Brazil to the deserts of Abu Dhabi. It is genuinely a world sport.
