Essay

There are fast cars, like a BMW. There are really fast cars, like a Ferrari. There are mind-blowingly fast cars, like a McLaren P1. And there are this cars. Made out of the hardest, lightest, most aerodynamic and expensive (way more expensive than you can imagine), the formula one cars are the top of the mountain in the world of technology over 4 wheels. This cars can take you from 0 to a 100 km/h and from a 100 to 0 km/h quicker than you read this sentence. You get the greatest engineers, 300 million dollars and a permission from the F1 commission together and voila, you have the 50 % of a F1 racing team. And where is the other 50 %? The answer is simple, in the pilot, which a is a superhuman.

These man are the finest representatives of the human race. Their skills and commitment to the maximum racing category are simply out of this world. Numbers mean nothing to us because the ones that are involved in this sport are simply too much for us to understand. Even if you follow this races you will probably say that are just simple man in super cars driving around a track and winning millions every year for basically siting and accelerating a machine, but once you get to know this discipline very well your way of seeing the world, not only a sport, will change.

These men have to deal to over three times the force of gravity in every corner. They have to memorize every single turn in all the tracks in the world in order to avoid hitting a wall at 200 km/h and to remember which gear they have to have at any moment just to save a fraction of a second which is not even measurable to our brain but in this context means the difference between the first place and the fifth, the world championship or nothing. 

If you get in a simulator like the ones the pilots use to practice, you won’t, without a doubt, making the car simply go straight forward in the beginning. The skills of these men are so refined that it is so difficult to find a man who can drive flawlessly and when it happens it becomes a true legend. When we are talking about F1 the words are just meaningless. There is so mucho to know about this sport that no one ever is an expert in all the areas that it involves. It is so complex that our brain are just no capable of understanding it to a high level.
