F1 Driver's Physical Characteristics

F1 Flag Introduction

Including aerodynamics, plus the most advanced technologies in the world such as radio communication and electrical engineering. Many new technologies were first put into practice in F1. F is the abbreviation of FORMULA, namely equation; There are many explanations for 1, which can be understood as top drivers, top events, bonuses and so on. The English full name of this competition is FIA Formula One Grand Prix Championship, and the Chinese full name is Formula One World Championship. F1 and the World Cup. The Olympic Games is called "the three major sports in the world" because of its wide influence and high popularity.

Competition system

In the 45 years (195-1995) when F1 was held, * * * held 58 games. Among them, Europe held the most ***47 times, mostly in Monza, Italy, with 45 times, followed by Monaco, Zan Dewater, Spa, Silverstone and Nuremberg. The least was Oceania with only 11 times.

In the past, the streets and highways of the city were often used as racing tracks, and the rules of the race were not perfect, which greatly limited the racers. With the emergence of professional racing tracks, the rules of the race were constantly being improved, which enabled the drivers to play better. Among them, they can be divided into two categories;

first, considering the safety of the competition and the fairness of competition, FIA has formulated three principle rules.

In order to provide a relatively fair competitive environment for racers and enable them to develop their respective potentials, the organizing committee has made clear regulations on all dimensions of racing cars, including the weight, size, fuel type, cylinder and tire size of racing cars, and also has specific regulations on the installation of aerodynamic devices, because this device can press the tires and increase the speed.

In order to prevent accidents, The most perfect safety measures are provided. The basic structure of the car, military tires, safe rubber fuel tanks, fuel flame retardants, helmets and other devices are stipulated. The size of drivers entering and leaving the cockpit and cabin is also stipulated. At the same time, the location of the fuel depot and the location of the fuel in the maintenance station are also stipulated, and the protection measures of Zhumen are also required.

The organizing Committee has stipulated that only 16 competitions will be held each year. It is forbidden to increase the number of races in order to avoid bringing heavy economic burden to the team and individuals. The cylinders of the engine of the racing car should be oval and not more than 12. At the same time, there must be 4 stroke exchange types and naturally aspirated types. Two of the four tires of the racing car can be driven.

Due to the particularity of F1 race, there is a very strict requirement on the length, width, road conditions and safety measures of the dedicated track, which is to avoid danger. Therefore, the track is generally circular, with each lap being 3? 7 kilometers, the total length of the track is 35? 32 kilometers, he generally can't have a long straight, and there should be wide grass or sand beside the track to reduce the threat to the audience.

For a qualified special track, the following equipment is indispensable;

1. The track must have many bends to control the speed. At present, each lap of the track is between 3 and 7 kilometers, and the width is between 7 and 11 meters.

2. The starting and finishing straights should allow two cars to be placed side by side without being crowded, so it is generally required to be 12 meters wide and 25 meters long.

3. For the safety of spectators, the stands must be 1.2 meters high. The track must be equipped with a camera and a TV tower for TV broadcast.

5. In order to let the spectators in the stands see the whole process of the race clearly, a large-screen TV set must be installed opposite the stands.

6. Safety personnel should set up observation stations in relatively dangerous areas, so that they can keep the track open at any time, deal with emergencies in time, and send potential dangerous safety signals to drivers.

7. They should have the ability to give first aid to injured drivers.

9. Each team should be equipped with a permanent facility maintenance point.

1. The sponsor's reception stand should be located in the high stand behind the maintenance station, which must be able to overlook the maintenance station.

11. There should be a parking lot for transport vehicles and campers.

12. In order to facilitate the commander to contact the security personnel through radio devices to ensure the smooth progress of the competition, The race control tower must be located where you can see the entrance of the pit, that is, the second floor of the whole control tower.

F1 Super Driver's License

Just like ordinary road drivers, F1 also needs a driver's license. That's a "super driver's license" issued by FIA (FIA)-FIA Super License. This driver's license is only issued to drivers who have performed well in the F3,F3 or CART series. It usually takes a driver eight years to progress from karting to F1, but in fact only a few people have the ability and opportunity to climb the top of the racing pyramid.

Due to frequent accidents in racing cars, FIA requires that all the racetracks in the host countries must have enough grass buffer zones. The ambulance personnel in each stadium must also be distributed in every corner of the stadium, and strive to run into the scene for rescue at the moment of an accident.

F1 championship

F1 annual championship is divided into two categories, driver championship and team championship. In the eyes of many F1 experts, the value of the team championship is greater than the driver championship. The scoring method is the integral system, and the points of drivers and teams are cumulative. Team points are accumulated by the points of two drivers. If the race is forced to stop before 75% of the whole race, the points must be multiplied by 1/2, and the world champions of drivers and teams can be decided by accumulating points at each race station. If the final points are the same, compare the number of champions, runners-up and runners-up in each substation ... until one side is more than the other. If it is still the same, it is necessary to compare the fastest lap speed and pole position in the race, and the final way will be decided by drawing lots.

F1 drivers

F1 drivers are mostly from go-karting events at all levels, and they stand out from a series of events such as F3 and GP2 and enter F1. But now there are also some manufacturers' fleets willing to select and train talents by themselves (because of the money). FIA stipulates that there are only 1 people with super driver's licenses in the world

Physical characteristics of F1 drivers

F1 drivers are one of the strongest athletes, because the driving style of F1 cars and the strong centrifugal force that drivers have to bear are very different from driving ordinary vehicles. Not only should their physical condition be superior to ordinary people, but they should also have a calm and analytical mind!

observing F1 drivers, you can find that they all have thick necks that look almost as wide as their heads, because the head wearing a helmet is exposed outside the cockpit when driving F1 racing cars. In addition to the lateral centrifugal force of 4 g when cornering, the forward deceleration force is more than 5 g when braking. Under such a high centrifugal force, the weight of the head and helmet will be five times of the original, about 25 kg, so a particularly strong neck is needed to resist centrifugal force.

Secondly, their arms and wrist muscles are extremely developed. In the past, it took about 3 kilograms to operate the steering wheel of F1. Even today's F1 can use the power steering wheel to reduce the driver's burden, it is still quite laborious to turn the steering wheel under the action of air pressure at high speed. Strong arms are needed to keep the car on the driver's desired route when cornering. Strong arms and wrists are necessary during the 3-kilometer race.

In addition, when cornering, the strong lateral centrifugal force will make the blood in the body flow to one side, but at this time, the driver still needs to think calmly before facing the next corner. The heart rate is as high as 19 beats per minute at the start and 16 beats during the race, so the heart and lung function of racers must be different from that of ordinary people.

The heat resistance of the body is also important for F1 drivers. During the race in cool Europe, the temperature in the cockpit can be as high as 5~6 degrees Celsius. Although water is constantly replenished, the total body fat consumption and dehydration will exceed 4 kilograms after nearly two hours of competition. If the average person is dehydrated in that way, it will cause shock, but F1 drivers can still laugh and laugh after getting off the bus.

introduction of p>F1 flag

yellow flag

the yellow flag represents an obstacle in the lane ahead, such as a crashed or broken car. Remind drivers to drive carefully. If the obstacle car stops at one side of the track, or if the obstacle is not on the track, the yellow flag will stay still. If the obstacle is on the track, the yellow flag will swing back and forth to remind the driver to be ready to change direction. If the track is completely blocked, then two yellow flags will be waved. Overtaking is not allowed when the yellow flag appears. If a driver does not read the information of the yellow flag carefully, but still drives to the accident area of the track at the speed of the race, then the driver will be severely punished and even disqualified.

Red and yellow vertical striped flag

The red and yellow vertical striped flag means that the road ahead is oily or slippery, so drivers should drive carefully until the signal flag is retracted. If the competition officials wave the flag, it means that there is a so-called wet zone not far ahead.

white flag

when a white flag appears, it means that there are slow-moving vehicles ahead. This may be an ambulance, a trailer, or a safe vehicle for the Games. When seeing the white flag, drivers should drive carefully and even slow down appropriately.

Red Flag

The red flag indicates that the game or test run is terminated or suspended in advance for some reason. The red flag will be displayed at all positions in the whole track at the same time. At this time, the driver should return to the pit and wait there to know whether and when to resume the race.
