F1 Racing
F1 racing is the premier motor sport in the world. It was established in 1947 as a racing competition with just a few basic rules. The term ‘Formula 1’ was officially introduced to the public in 1950 where ‘Formula’ refers to the set of standards that guided the development of the race cars’ engines. F1 racing is held in different race tracks around the world, and the Formula One racing season starts in April and ends in October.Just like any other racing competition, F1 racing has its own rules for safety precautions. And safety is always the number one priority for any F1 team. In this tradition, Formula 1 racing dangers are minimized and there were very few fatal accidents reported throughout the history of the sport. Among the few fatalities witnessed during F1 races, the most unforgettable is the crash that took the life of legendary driver Ayrton Senna, who died during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. Since then, the Formula 1 racing committee has ensured that extra precautions are taken to prevent fatal accidents, and F1 racing has not seen another fatality ever since.
The Formula One race features some of the biggest sponsors in the world of sports today. With some team budgets reaching $400 million, sponsorship is definitely an integral part of any F1 team. The logos of Formula One racing sponsors are displayed on the cars during the races. Even though some forms of sponsorship are banned in certain countries, such as tobacco in UK, colors of the F1 motor racing car are made to imply association with the product. Aside from the sponsors, F1 teams also get their funds from F1 racing merchandise such as F1 racing magazine, Formula 1 racing game, or even Formula One racing jackets.
