Formula One (F1)
一级方程式赛车

FIA Formula One World Championship (also Formula One, Formula 1, and F1) is the highest class of single-seat auto racing that is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The “formula”, designated in the name, refers to a set of rules with which all participants' cars must comply. The F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix (from French, originally meaning great prizes), held throughout the world on purpose-built circuits and public roads. The results of each race are evaluated using a points system to determine two annual World Championships, one for the drivers and one for the constructors. The racing drivers, constructor teams, track officials and organizers are required to be holders of valid Super Licenses, the highest class of racing license issued by the FIA.
一级方程式赛车(简称F1)是由国际汽车联盟举办的最高等级的单座赛车比赛,正式名称为“国际汽车联合会世界一级方程式锦标赛”。名称中“方程式”是指一组所有参赛车辆都必须遵守的规则。F1赛季包括一系列的比赛,而这些所谓的“大奖赛”(Grands Prix,来自法语,本意Great Prizes)在世界各地均有开展,其场地是全封闭的专门赛道或者是临时封闭的普通公路。每场比赛的结果算入积分系统,并以此确定年度世界冠军的两个名额:一个给车手,一个给制造商。F1的车手、制造商、跑道工作人员、组织者都必须持有超级执照,这是国际汽联颁发的最高级别执照。

Formula One cars are the fastest road course racing cars in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic down force. Formula One cars race at speeds of up to 360 km/h (220 mph) with engines currently limited in performance to a maximum of 15,000 RPM. The performance of the cars is very dependent on electronics and on aerodynamics, suspension and tires. The formula has radically evolved and changed through the history of the sport.
一级方程式赛车在压力下产生大量的空气动力,达到非常高的弯道速度,是全球最快的赛车运动。发动机性能限制在每分钟最多15000转,其比赛最高速度可达到360公里/小时。F1赛车的性能非常依赖电子系统、空气动力学、悬架和轮胎。赛车的规则也随着比赛的进行发生了巨大变化。
