F1 Grand Prix Tickets

Many people, when questioned about which sport they think is the most strenuous and demanding on the human body come up with typical responses such as mountain or rock climbing, rodeo, boxing or wrestling (and not the ludicrous dog and pony shows courtesy WWE). However, motor car racing, especially of the Formula 1 variety ups the ante in all departments. Mountain climbers can move at their own pace and Rodeo hardly lasts for more than a couple of seconds, whereas wrestlers and boxers can lock-up to catch their breath. Yet, F1 Grand Prix drivers have to endure perpetual body wrenching for around an hour that feels having more than your own body weight pressing against you throughout. Secure some F1 Grand Prix tickets now to witness a spectacle of blistering speeds and brain busting sounds.

For more than six decades, the phenomenon of Formula 1 has been putting forth motor cars throttling at insane speeds on some of the most carefully designed purpose built tracks around the world, such as the Silverstone Circuit in UK, Circuit de Monaco in the opulent principality of Monaco and the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italy. These hugely popular racing venues have hosted from four to five dozen F1 Grand Prix events since mid-20th century. Though the sport of F1 racing formally commenced in 1950, it stemmed from the Grand Prix Motor Racing events that took place in Europe during the twenties and thirties. In the aftermath of WWII, the rules and regulations for holding the championship races that had been laid out prior to the engineered mass conflict were put into practice.  

The first championship race was held in Silverstone, UK, with Italian driver Giuseppe Farina clinching the win in his Alfa Romeo dragster. However, Argentinean legend Manuel Fangio emerged as the early king of F1 racing by taking five titles during the fifties, including a streak of four consecutive wins from 1954 to 1957. Interestingly, his record was unbeaten for forty-five years until German speed demon Michael Schumacher broke it with his sixth win in 2003 and won again the following year to complete a record total of seven championships that include five straight ones. Still in the game though being in his forties, Schumacher is hailed as the most phenomenal driver that the sport has witnessed so far.

The experience for a F1 Grand Prix driver can only be compared to what fighter jet pilots go through, what with the aerodynamically designed hulls of the sports cars resembling those of the flying freaky machines, with tail and front fins serving the opposite purpose. These blade-like structures are literally the only things keeping the race cars from taking into the air by applying downward forces at both ends. Even the current top speeds that are in excess of 200 mph are comparable to those of jet aircraft. Witnessing a F1 race can only be described as a perpetually thrilling and hair raising experience that can be yours by securing some F1 Grand Prix tickets before they too speed away from you.
