Formula 1 boats are the nautical counterpart of Formula 1 racecars... minus the brakes! A mere 12 feet long and 850 pounds, these hi-tech composite racers literally fly on top of the water. At 140 mph, the only things anchoring an F1 boat are the tips of two sponsons and the blades of a propeller spinning at nearly 10,000 rpm. Heart-stopping flips are common, disaster lurks in every corner, and adrenaline pumping action is guaranteed. No wonder the races are attended by thousands of spectators and watched on TV by millions more world-wide.
Hosted by Steve Michael, the "Voice of F1," and 3-time F1 World Champion, Jonathan Jones, F1 World Championship brings you the electrifying world of F1 racing from an insider's perspective. The two-hour show brings you flag to flag coverage along with driver interviews, vital information, color, sights and sounds from each of the 13 races in the Grand Prix season.
Tune in F1 World Championship – 2006 and discover what millions of rabid fans the world over already know – F1 boat racing is one of the fastest, most electrifying sports on water.
