What I learned from my first year following F1
a year ago
General
...by both watching the real life races and driving in 
Dragonfire7 's Fur Racing League.
- It IS tiring, doesn't matter that you stay on a seat all time.
- Drivers' fathers have an uttermost importance. Whether they be former drivers themselves, teams' owners or just little karens that yell that their son deserves respect.
- It's not just about being fast, it's about having a calm and focused mind. Otherwise you'll get lotta poles but barely any win.
- For the love of god, wait until the adrenaline in your body has been disposed of before talking about the race with your other contestants.
- The Pythagorean theorem DOES NOT apply.
- Yes there are rules, but it is recommended to test how much you can violate them until you get caught.
- Swear words are much more unacceptable than glass debris on the fucking track.
- Playing F1 games is not like Need for Speed at all.
- The most entertaining part of a race is the team radio messages.
- It's a combination of driver and car, until rain falls. At that point, it's just the driver.
- There being only 20 protagonists per time, and not thousands like in football, it's easy to create some simply lovely ships. Takes two figures of Verstappen and Russell and says "NOW KISS"
- Everyone secretly wishes they could take Monaco out of the calendar.
- It is a sport by millionaires for millionaires, but unlike top-tier football it doesn't shy away from it.
- Usually the first third of a race is the most exciting part. The second is the most boring. The final one usually varies.
- YOU GOTTA LEAVE SPACE TO THE OTHERS IF YOU'RE NOT HOTLAPPING DAMN, YOU'LL CAUSE INCIDENTS IF YOU DON'T. (Easy to understand, but trying to apply it gave me some existential crisis)
- Friendships do get destroyed when the pair ends up as team mates.
- Ferrari will always win next year, every year.
WHAT I STILL NEED TO LEARN:
- How the F1 cars work in general.

F1 to me is more dangerous because of how easy it is to go so freakin' fast, you can crash into stuff with little to no effort (playing Pole Position gives me a good idea of how ridiculous those F1 races can get if you ask me).
Now, do you actually do F1 races in your lifetime or what??
About being dangerous, F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle of all motorsports so it's no surprise
Also, new icon by the way.
