Formula 1's first and last unofficial starter

In Simple Terms

The FIA (Formula 1's governing body) appoints the officials who run each race. These officials include 3-4 stewards (judges who make decisions), a Race Director (who controls the race), and a Starter (who begins the race). All of them must have an FIA Super Licence, which means they're highly qualified and approved by the FIA.

• FIA appoints between 3-4 stewards, with one serving as chairperson to make official decisions
• A Race Director is appointed to oversee and manage the entire race
• A Permanent Starter is appointed to start the race safely
• All officials must hold an FIA Super Licence, ensuring they meet strict qualification standards
