Deportes: El Fórmula Uno

Some people find it difficult to understand how anyone can enjoy watching low-slung racing cars swinging around race tracks lap after lap.  But Formula One, the sport in question, involves advanced technology as well as extreme bravery from the drivers.  A perfect combination of man and machine.

Today, we're going to look at a text from the BBC's Mundo service which provides news in Spanish for Spanish readers like yourself.

Here are the comprehension questions.  Read them and try and predict the possible options.  Then look at the text and see if you can work out the answers by reading for general meaning, using your dictionary and - if necessary - clicking on the Google Translate link below.
