    The car has reverse gears.

    Cars must have reverse gears in accordance with FIA regulations. During the race, it is also common to see cars rushing off the track and using reverse gear to change direction. When the racing car is pushed into the maintenance room or weighing room, in order to ensure the safety of the staff and ensure the accuracy of the parking position, the method of manually pushing back and adjusting the direction after hanging neutral gear is adopted, which avoids the collision or inaccurate carry caused by improper control of throttle force when using reverse gear, and also reduces the possibility of accidental fire due to the collision of the car storage and refueling equipment in the maintenance room.

    There is no reverse gear in Formula 1 cars, and when the car deviates heavily from the track, the driver has to turn the front of the car with a burnt tire (that is, locking the left and right front tires and slamming the accelerator to turn the car in place). /

    The impressive shifting speed of the semi-automatic transmission means that the increase in gears is no longer a headache, and most Formula 1 cars nowadays have six or seven gears, but on some circuits with many corners, drivers may only use four or five of them. Also, reverse gear is mandatory, but drivers are not allowed to use reverse gear in the pits.

    Yes, but only in 1 reverse gear.

    Some. I didn't see the reversing because I basically couldn't drive after the accident.

    Yes, otherwise there wouldn't be so many racing problems.

    Admire the F1 driver's upshift and downshift driving process, all by the buttons in hand, the speed is too fast.

    The base orange gearbox used in the F1 is a semi-automatic gearbox, and only one clutch is required to start. There are three paddles behind the steering wheel of an F1 car, which are upshift, downshift and clutch.

    Some sports cars also have paddle shifters behind the steering wheel, but cars with paddle shifters have automatic transmissions, and F1 transmissions are manual.

    The gearbox of the F1 only canceled the gear lever and shifted gears with paddles. The cockpit of an F1 car is so empty that it is not practical to have a gear lever alone, and if there is a gear lever, you need a clutch pedal, which will reduce the driver's lap time because some time is wasted when changing gears.

    As a result, F1 places shift control and clutch control on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to quickly shift gears and improve lap times.

    F1 only has two pedals, one is the brake pedal and one is the accelerator pedal. The driver's left foot controls the brake pedal and the right foot controls the accelerator pedal.

    The driver's fingers are used to control the clutch and paddle shifters.

    F1 cars are all designed for speed, handling and safety.

    Therefore, the shift control method of F1 is different from that of ordinary family cars or performance cars, and the design of performance cars and racing cars is also very different.

    Performance cars run on the highway, and cars run on the track.

    The gear is used to control engine traction.

    An effective means of losing and out, such as the maximum torque of the 1st gear engine, the car is easy to obtain greater traction, but the power is small and the speed of the car is slow. 5-speed (pinned for ordinary family cars) engine output.

    Maximum, fastest speed, but least torque.

    Therefore, for F1 you can know (the current F1 is 7th gear, the previous 6th gear) in some road sections, such as starting and hairpin corners, you need to use 1st gear, which can not only retain the maximum torque of the engine, but also accelerate as soon as possible after cornering. In the straight-line acceleration section, you can use the high gear position to accelerate as quickly as possible to overtake.

    If there is no gear, the acceleration section will be slower, for example, F1 can accelerate to 300 km h at 800 meters, and with automatic transmission, it may take 1200 meters to accelerate to 300 km h. Therefore, the gears are good for acceleration. For example, when cornering, use a small speed to enter the corner, if the throttle is pressed too low, it will cause the gear to increase automatically, and the engine torque out of the corner will be reduced, and it will not be able to accelerate the fastest, affecting the performance.

    So to sum up, using gears is a very sensible design, although it increases the burden on the driver, which is said to be an F1 driver.

    There are thousands of gear increases and decreases in a race, but after all, the speed of the car is increased, and the team's performance is improved.

    After all, in F1, ranking and points are always the most important!

    Yes, the shift is behind the steering wheel. It's called paddle shifters. And the speed of shifting gears is very fast. There are seven forward gears, one neutral and one reverse.

    Of course, there are as many as 8 gears.

    Gear is an effective means to control the traction output of the engine, such as the maximum torque of the 1st gear, the car is easy to obtain greater traction, but the power is small and the speed of the car is slow. The 5th gear (for a normal family car) engine has the most power output and the fastest revs, but the least torque.

    Therefore, you can know for F1 (the current F1 is 7th gear, and it used to be 6th gear) in some wide sections, such as starting and hairpin corners, you need to use 1st gear, which can not only retain the maximum torque of the engine, but also accelerate as soon as possible after cornering. In the straight-line acceleration section, you can use the high gear position to accelerate as quickly as possible to overtake.

    So to sum up, the use of gears is a very sensible design, although it increases the burden on the driver, it is said that F1 drivers have to do thousands of up/down operations in a race, but after all, it increases the speed of the car and improves the team's performance.

    There are gears, behind the steering wheel.

    Yes Seven forward gears plus one reverse gear!

    No, you have to use human power to reverse the car.

I don't agree with the statement that F1 can drift, F1 is not designed for drift at all, F1 tires are designed to be sticky, not suitable for drifting at all, plus F1's chassis can not hit the weight required for drifting, can not make drift, F1 can not make a sharp turn, because the speed is too fast, once the rapid turn, it will cause the whole vehicle to spin, bad will lead to overturning.

Unless it's out of control, there's no drift in F1 The drift in the elephant head D, which is just about 90 km h, is very ornamental, but the wear and tear on the tires is very serious. That's why the cars are hard tires that are hard-wearing and don't deform. But F1 is very different. >>>More

Of course it's dangerous.

Each year, the F1 race is held in a very different venue. Some of them are now on the plateau, where the air is thin and used to test the physical fitness of the riders; Some are tracks made up of streets, where the road surface is relatively narrow and twisty, and drivers can crash if they don't handle it properly; Some of the circuits are wide, but there are also uphill and downhill slopes to test the driver's skills; Others are built in wooded forests, where the track is undulating and it is difficult for drivers to control the car. Due to the frequent accidents in racing, the FIA requires that all host country race tracks must have adequate grass buffers. >>>More
