2016 Australian F1 Grand Prix: Drivers, teams and cars

Formula One cars aren’t like your average fast cars. The single-seat cars have no roof, and have the engine behind the Formula One driver. The cars are used only for F1 racing events and must adhere to strict regulations, including the racing team constructing the vehicles themselves – kind of like the old days of go-kart street racing – with some outsourced help for design and manufacturing.

Read about the top nine F1 cars ever made here.

For enthusiasts, the build of the car is part of the fun. But for the rest of us, we just want to know who drives what colour car.
