F1
Open-wheel racing elite
F1 is the abbreviation for Formula One, the highest class of international single-seater auto racing sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile.
The sport features purpose-built open-wheel cars racing on circuits worldwide, with teams like Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull competing for constructor and driver championships.
I stayed up late to watch the F1 race in Singapore.
F1 also designates a function key on computer keyboards, typically mapped to help menus.
