TOPIC: F1, AN EXCITING SPORT
I have chosen to talk about Formula 1 because I love this sport and
is one of the most famous motorsports in the world. This sport is also
considered one of the most dangerous, due to the speed that cars can reach.
In this sport we have been seeing some of the best athletes in history, such
as Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso.
What do you think about Michael Schumacher?
1- A little bit of F1 history that you should know
Had you ever heard that the beginnings of F1 were in the early 50s? After
WW2, FIA contributed with the formation of the Formula One World
Championship in 1950, whose first race took place in Silverstone circuit,
in the UK, with the Italian Giuseppe Farina, who used to drive an Alfa
Romeo, and was the winner of the race. After this, more and more races
have been racing for 70 years, more or less.
What do you know about F1 history? Would you like to have lived the
beginning of Formula 1?
2-Some things have been changing in the current Championship
During this year, the Dutchman Max Verstappen has been dominating the
season with his Red Bull, with his partner Sergio “Checo” Pérez in second
place. Meanwhile, the Spaniard Fernando Alonso is ranked third in the
drivers championship. Other drivers as the seven world-champion, Lewis
Hamilton,who used to dominate in the recent years with Mercedes, now
has a non-competitive car, which does not allow him to fight with the top
drivers. If he had a car with more prominent features, he would be able to
win again, as he’s a great driver.
What would you say it’s more important to win a race, the car or the
pilot?
