The first international racing Grand Prix in Held in Le Mans, France in 1906. Championship points: F1 annual championship points system; F1 annual championship is divided into two types: driver championship and team championship. The scoring method is a points system, and the points of the driver and the team are accumulated together. The score of F1 event results is determined by the FIA ??(FIA: Federation Internationale De L'Automobile) based on the results of each race schedule. The first-place driver and team in each F1 race each receive 10 points, the second-place 8 points each, the third-place 6 points, the fourth-place 5 points, the fifth-place 4 points, the sixth-place 3 points, and the seventh-place 2 points for first place and 1 point for eighth place. Chassis: The basic structure of a racing car includes a combination of suspension system, steel rim tires and other various vehicle materials. The body chassis of a high-tech F1 racing car is made of carbon fiber plates and other materials, and the chassis is very lightweight And it is strong and durable. It is usually the source of the number of a racing car. Cockpit: the cockpit; the area where the F1 driver sits, which is tailor-made according to the driver's body shape.

However, as the team's third car, it cannot take into account the body shapes of the two drivers, so it is usually designed according to the body shape of the team's number one driver. Constructor: manufacturer/team; the manufacturer of an F1 racing car refers to the manufacturer of the body and chassis, not the engine manufacturer. According to regulations, the name of the chassis manufacturer is usually placed in front of the name of the engine manufacturer. In the Formula One Championship, the glory of the team championship is awarded to the body and chassis manufacturer. Chicane: Chicane; the Chinese literal translation of this English word is "fraud", but in F1 racing, it refers to the continuous curves set up on the straight track to reduce the speed of the car. Hairpin: a hairpin curve; a curve that is very difficult and very tricky for the driver to control. It is usually a 180-degree hairpin-like curve. Dirty air: turbulence; airflow in different directions and angles produced by a racing car that is driving rapidly. Turbulence will interfere with the airflow generated by other cars following it, thereby affecting (reducing) the downforce generated in the air flow. This will affect the control of the car following it, and the car may skid. out of control. Down force: Down force; the car body, wings and suspension system generate downward pressure due to the flow of air during high-speed driving. As the speed of the car increases, the downforce will become stronger, thereby increasing the grip of the car. Wind tunnel: wind tunnel; an aerodynamic package used to develop racing cars. Its purpose is to minimize the air resistance while ensuring that the car obtains sufficient downforce, so as to increase the speed of the car and the stability of high-speed driving. Wind tunnels require huge amounts of energy and sophisticated electronic instruments to operate, so they are extremely expensive. Grid: Qualifying; the starting position in the racing finals is determined based on the results of the qualifying match. The cars are arranged in a staggered row of two cars, with the car at the front being 8 meters ahead of the next car. Starting grid: starting grid; the starting position of the driver's car is determined based on the results of the driver's car in the qualifying round. Pole position: Pole position; also known as P.P., is determined by the ranking obtained in qualifying on Saturday afternoon. The fastest lap time of the car is used to determine the driver's front position at the start of the final. Qualifying: Qualifying; divided into two parts, held on Friday and Saturday respectively. Each car can only qualify for one lap. The starting order for qualifying on Friday will be based on the results of the previous race (the first race of the new season will be based on the results of the previous year’s World Championship). The starting order for Saturday's qualifying will be in reverse order of the rankings obtained from Friday's qualifying, that is, slow cars will qualify first and fast cars will qualify last. Final qualifying is based on Saturday's qualifying results, and the first-place driver's final starting position is called pole position. Paddock: Equipment area; located near the starting position of the event track, this is the team management and rest area and the place where transport vehicles are parked. Pit: pit area; a place where the team places the car, debugs the car before the race, and completes pitstop maintenance during the race. This is the core of the team's weekend work. Pit lane: Pit lane; a specially designed passage in front of the pit lane. It is the passage for cars to enter the track from the pit lane or leave the track and return to the pit lane. The pit lane is a road section with strict speed restrictions. The general speed limit is 80-120 kilometers per hour (ie 50-74 miles per hour). Different tracks have different speed limits. Pit stop: The place where drivers refuel and change tires. The timing and frequency of pit stops are important strategies for each team's competition. Slicks: slick tires; racing tires without tread used on dry roads, also called "dry tires". Slick tires were replaced before the 1998 season by tires with four straight grooves (dry tires). These grooves are used to reduce the speed of the car when cornering. Pit crew: logistics maintenance personnel; refers to the engineers and technicians in charge of the fleet in the maintenance area.

Race number: Racing number; before the new season, the FIA ??will give each F1 car a number based on the driver rankings of the previous year. This number must be clearly displayed on both sides of the nose of the car body. The number 13 is particularly taboo for Westerners, so there is no number 13 among racing numbers. Safety car: Safety car; it is a Mercedes-Benz with yellow flashing lights and a Safety Car logo on the body. The driver of the safety car is very experienced and the car is equipped with a communication system to communicate with the control panel.
