Formula 1 is the second oldest race series in the world having begun in 1950, and is widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport. With races occurring throughout the world and a truely international contingent of drivers, it’s hard to dispute this.
The series features the fastest single seater cars and is known for allowing teams to push boundaries through the use of technology and aerodynamics.
