The Formula 1 season runs from March to December, with races on famous circuits worldwide, each presenting unique challenges.
Teams have two top drivers competing in custom cars built to strict FIA regulations covering weight, dimensions, engine, and aerodynamics.
Race weekends start with qualifying, split into Q1, Q2, and Q3. The slowest five are eliminated in Q1, and the top 10 in Q3 fight for pole position.
During the race, drivers complete set laps while managing tires and fuel. Pit stops for tire changes and adjustments are strategic, as refueling during races is now banned.
Teams use real-time data on tires, fuel, and car performance to make quick decisions, adapting to track conditions, weather, and opponents.
Track limits, position, and penalties also influence results, with the FIA enforcing rules for fairness and safety.
