Sinew-shattering tension, control, and speed – racing on Formula 1 tracks is no child's play. It requires a humongous amount of training and control to bear the challenges and obstacles of Formula 1 tracks. Over the years, Formula 1 has upped its game when it comes to racing tracks. These, according to our research, are the most challenging and most brutal racing tracks of F1! Maggots/Becketts, Silverstone The Maggots/Becketts track in Silverstone is one of the most challenging tracks for drivers. Most Formula fans and professionals are aware of the enormous difficulties of this track. The technical turn combo in racing is one thing that makes the track in Silverstone so notoriously challenging. It packs a fast left with a tight right turn before forcing a double-downshift ahead of another challenging right at the exit point. From an aerial viewpoint, it might look like a sweet ride, but it's not!

At a 640m, this turn is the most extended corner of the seasons. It features four apexes. What's surprising is that even the slowest of it is at 260kph. Drivers have to cut through an ample torque of 4.5G, which is more powerful than any rocket launch. It is also usually the level at which it risks human vision. Turn 15, Sepang If you are a Formula fan, you might have heard about the nuances of Turn 15, Sepang. It is the monstrous climatic hairpin of the Malaysian Grand Prix circuit. Formula modified the track in 2016 to make it more challenging and intimidating. The rising bank towards the exit point is strategically and technically tricky. Besides, racers might find an opportunity to overtake in Turn 15, which adds to the challenge. Campsa, Catalunya The next on our list is Campsa, Catalunya. Many racers and experts regard this track as Formula's rollercoaster. Along with sensory deprivation, this track mixes punishing torque levels. Campsa begins with an entirely blind entry. It goes from steep uphill to a pretty sharp downhill exit. A slight miscalculation is enough to end the racer in a mess!

The various overtaking spots put forward a very different challenge for the racers. This track is a fourth-gear left-hander that pushes hard deceleration on the entry and exit. The drivers must keep feathering the accelerator and light touch on brakes for optimum control.
