'''Formula One''', also known as '''Formula 1''' or '''F1''' and officially as the '''FIA Formula One World Championship''' is the highest class of single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). Formula One is often considered the pinnacle of [[automobile]] [[racing]]. The cars are extremely fast with speeds topping 320 kph, although it is their cornering and braking performance that sets Formula 1 apart as the highest class of car racing. The Formula One World Championship is held every year on racing tracks around the globe. There are effectively two championships being contested - the World Drivers Championship is given to the winning driver, but the teams also compete in the Manufacturer's Championship.
