Secrets Of The Top Formula One Drivers

Let's face it, Formula One drivers, without doubt are the focus of attention when it comes to the sport of formula one

. As in every sport it's the participants, the sportsmen, the fans come to see. The main difference here is that this is the top sport in the world, when it comes to charisma and glamour. Yes, the cars are fast and technically the finest tuned machines ever built, with millions spent on their development, but it's the driver's skills, which intrigues us. Man and machine at one, what other sport has such a combination?

Formula One drivers are in the superstar bracket and likewise earn superstar fees; we are talking in the millions here. Some would say no individual deserves such massive amounts of money, "just for doing a job." What I would say to that is that if the fans, the media and of course large sponsors are willing to pay for this, or any sport, then they're well deserving. Which one of us would say no, to being paid millions per year for doing our job, and a job we love!

These drivers nowadays have to work with the media and be available for interviews, sometimes even after a dramatic mishap during a race. They are also obliged to attend sponsors promotional events and work closely with their team. It is in their vested interest to be involved in the ongoing development of their car as they are the ones in the driving seat, so to speak. These guys take massive risks in the pursuit of their sport and our entertainment. Controlling a car travelling round a corner at over 100 mph is no mean feat, and with others trying to overtake you!

There is intense pressure heaped on Formula one drivers, but for those who are able to cope, the rewards are immense. Not only monetarily as mentioned before but also the prestige of being in front of the cameras and on magazine fronts around the world. This brings in even more wealth, as companies strike up deals with them, to get them to promote their product. As with any individual, stress can play a significant part in a Formula One driver's career. You can sometimes see this manifest itself on the track, with some rare individual mistakes.
