G'day,

I've always liked F1 but it's only recently that I've started following it closely. That said, I've got a few questions that I'd really like an answer to that have been bugging me for a while. Sorry for bothering you all with these but there's no place on the internet I can find that clearly explains all the rules.

1. What's the difference between hard and soft tyres? Hard = speed and soft = grip?

2. Are teams no longer allowed a spare car?

3. What was a "qualifying shoot out"? Are they still around?

4. What do all the flags mean?

5. Do engines have to last more than one race?

Thanks,

Jonny.

Sorry Jonny, the USA is a NASCAR nation.
