Isn't Formula 1 the most amazing sport? There are only two sports where the person involved can lose his life any moment. It is bull fight and Racing. Bullfight though I feel is a sad sport and I am sure the animal rights people will definitely support me

In a rollercoaster ride a person experiences a force from 3 to 4G. During a F1 race the force exerted can reach up to 4 to 5G. For a normal Human a force from 4 to 6 G if sustained for more than a few seconds, the resulting symptoms range from visual impairment to total blackout. No wonder it makes F1 a thrilling and exciting sport on the planet
A few statistics I found about this sport:
1) The top speed of a F1 car is around 375 Kph and Monza is the only circuit where such a mark is likely to be reached. Italy has two circuits Imalo and Monza. J. Montoya of Williams holds a record for fastest qualifying lap at this circuit with a top speed of 260 Kph
2) F1 cars can accelerate from 0 to 200 Kph and back again to standstill in less than seven seconds
3) Full braking from 200 Kph to standstill requires 1.9 seconds within a distance of 55 meters and this effect produces a deceleration force upto 5G, which 5 times the weight of the driver
4) The Cars change gear around 3100 times in a Monaco grand prix. The circuit is very nice and the race runs on the streets of Monaco Monte Carlo circuit
5) A F1 driver lose on an average 2 kg of weight during a grand prix. He may also lose around 1.5 liters of fluid on a hot day
6) Ayrton Senna has the most pole positions (65) under his belt. A Brazilian driver won his first race for Lotus. Michael Shumacher follows him closely with pole positions (63)
7) The only Posthumous world champion was Austrian Jochen Rindt in 1970, who died in a crash while driving his lotus
8) Ferrari holds the most Grand Prix wins, 144. World Champion, Michael Schumacher with most F1 points, 801
9) The last driver to win without leading a lap was Briton Damon Hill in Belgium in 1994. He was driving for Williams with Ayrton Senna

10) Narayan Karthikeyan is the first Indian driver to drive in F1. He will be driving for the 2005 season for the Jordans
But finally Naraynan was on the 5th position...but today on the 9th position...
