1, among Formula One drivers, many people started to take part in mini-car races at the age of six, received driving training since childhood, and constantly participated in their own national races or international races. It seems that the All-Europe Mini Racing Championship attracts top mini racers from various European countries every year, hoping to win the reputation of the all-Europe championship and take a step forward for a higher level of Formula One racing. Therefore, if drivers want to gain a place on the international stage, they must participate in international competitions, such as the all-European mini-car championship, so as to have a chance of promotion. 2.FORMULA JUNIOR is actually the abbreviation below Formula 3 level, because many countries and manufacturers with automobile production will design some entry equations produced in the name of their own car factories for young drivers to participate in. These equations are generally simple in design, and most of them use engines that have not been modified by the original factory, and there is no very advanced aerodynamic design of the car body. The purpose is to reduce the cost of racing drivers and avoid each driver paying expensive racing fees. Moreover, drivers at this level are generally very young, ranging from 16 to 18. At present, the popular FORMULA JUNIOR are FORMULA FORD and FORMULA VAUXHALL in Britain, FORMULA CAMPUS in France, FORMULA OPEL and FORMULA BMW in Germany, FORMULA TOYOTA in Japan and FORMULA DREAM in Honda. Some automakers have developed more advanced formula frameworks, hoping to replace other automakers at the same level. For example, the French Reynolds equation is a very successful product. Although the original 2000CC engine is used, the frame is made of carbon fiber, and the sequential gearbox, shock absorber and tail can be adjusted at will. The appearance is very close to the third formula, so it is very popular in Europe and America. Although it is a French product, there are also Renault Formula races in Britain, even touring all over Europe. The most special thing is that KIMI· Raikkonen, the current Formula One driver of Manalun, directly advanced from Renault Formula to Formula One, which once became a story in the racing world. The annual cost of participating in the European Renault Formula is about1500,000 Hong Kong dollars, of course, this does not include the extra repair fee for your crash. If the results are satisfactory, they will be recruited by Formula Three teams. However, entering Formula Three depends on how much money the driver or team has. In addition, many F3 teams will wave to other Formula One junior champions, such as JENSON BUTTON of Formula One Renault, who was promoted from Formula Ford to F3. But if you can afford to compete every year and stay in Europe for a long time to participate in the competition and achieve ideal results, no matter what nationality or race, you will have a chance to enter the ranks of Formula Three. 3, F3 In fact, many Formula One drivers now use F3 directly to enter the ranks of F 1. Of course, their achievements are outstanding. Many countries in the world have Formula Three races, but without Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan, these countries cannot be internationally recognized. Starting from 2003, the competitions of several countries in continental Europe will be merged into the all-European Formula Three Championship. These Formula 3 drivers not only have to win their own local races, but also gather leading drivers from every region in the world to participate in the Marlboro Masters and Macau Grand Prix held in the Netherlands every year, so as to decide to become the world Formula 3 champion. In particular, the annual Macau Grand Prix is regarded as a stepping stone to Formula One, and many Formula One team owners will come to Macau's Dongwangyang Runway for close contact with the champions or recruit them as drivers. So drivers, teams, frame manufacturers, engine suppliers, tire suppliers, racing organizing committees, etc. Everyone attaches great importance to the F3 race. Although the F3 frames in the world have been made in Italy in the past two years, there are many choices of engines, such as Honda Infinitus, Toyota Tom's, Opel -SPINESS, Renault-Sodexo and so on. They compete with each other on the track to find better teams and demonstrations. Take takuma sato, winner of the 200 1 Macau Grand Prix as an example. Since he joined the British Formula Three racing car, he has been assisted by Honda, not only providing him with an engine for free, but also paying the annual expenses of his team, so that Sato does not have to worry about the cost of the race. As for Hong Kong drivers, if they have FORMULA JUNIOR racing experience, they can actually be promoted to FORMULA III. Of course, they must pay the annual competition fees, such as engines, frames, tires, spare parts and the salaries of team staff. The cost of participating in Formula Three in Britain is about HK$ 4 million a year, which is really a very expensive sport. Unfortunately, there are no car manufacturers in Hong Kong. 4. Many people think that F3000 is a refuge for drivers who have finished the F3 race but failed to advance to F 1, because not many drivers can advance from F3000 to F 1. In fact, many drivers have not found the way out of F 1 after years of rolling around in F3000, and are slowly turning to other types of races, such as touring car races or GT endurance races. However, there are only FIA F3000 Championship (generally supporting F 1) or Formula Japan Championship in the world. Regardless of the frame and engine, each team is the same supplier. Compared with Formula One, there is still a long way to go in terms of both the scale and competitiveness of the event. The biggest reason is that the car factory failed to invest more resources in the research and development of F3000 cars, and there was no competition between different engines. However, there are also many F3000 drivers who can finally enter Formula One, such as Rafshumeka, Hayford, Mika Shalao and so on. , all from Japan's FORMULA NIPPON or FIA F3000 promotion. As for the cost of participating in the F3000, it is about HK$ 500 to HK$ 6 million per year, depending on the size of the team and where the competition is held. 5. Formula1Formula1must be the ultimate goal of people who participate in racing all over the world, because when they get the contract of F 1 team, in addition to their great popularity, most drivers of F 1 have made great progress, including team salary and other commercial sponsorship. However, some drivers exchange money for a driver's seat; For example, Xiong Long, a Malaysian driver, was sponsored by the local government and commercial organizations, enabling him to represent Malaysia in the race. Of course, drivers themselves have some racing experience, otherwise the FIA will not let drivers with only money participate. In short, no matter what nationality drivers are, if they can start to compete at an early age and have enough financial support, they can participate in some top drivers' competitions and win the annual championship. Especially for Formula Three, apart from winning the local championship, there are two World Cups every year, the most important of which is the Macau Grand Prix. All Formula Three racers will compete together, and the winner will have the opportunity to be appreciated by F 1 team. The problem is that young drivers have many external factors besides sufficient financial resources, experience and technology. For example, physical fitness, image, public relations skills, communication skills with mechanics, English. So the British are generally better, because many teams are based in Britain, and English is the lingua franca in Formula One circles. Even for Ferrari teams in Italy, many engineers and racers are not Italian, but they all use English as a communication channel. Formula One is the mainstream of Europeans in carpooling, publicity and fleet management. They generally only pay attention to the driving dynamics of F3 or F3000 in Europe. As for why there are so many drivers in Formula One in Japan, it is mostly because of the backstage support of automobile manufacturers. In exchange for providing engines for free, it is the goal of the Japanese government and automobile manufacturers to train young talents to enter international racing. The driver's manager is also one of the important figures of the driver, because the manager is responsible for business sponsorship, joining the team and arranging the drivers to participate. Today's successful Formula One drivers, their managers will handle general daily affairs for them and play a very important role.

I hope it will help lz!
