To answer this question first we must answer the question "Are Formula One drivers the best drivers in the world?" The answer to this question is a little complicated. Every sport has its own champion. In racing, there are different types of tracks and different types of cars and everything so it matters which sport is most difficult. The most difficult racing sport is Formula one and hence the formula one drivers have to be more trained and so they are the best drivers. But there is also another thing that counts. Passion for the sport. For example, Juan Pablo Montoya, a formula one driver who retired and joined Nascar, was relatively doing good in formula one but he joined Nascar for some reason and now he is not doing good. It looks like its the end of his racing career. We can derive another example, Michael Schumacher, a formula one legend who is a seven time world champion and retired last season. He started racing when he was 6 years old. He joined cart racing and traveled to different places in Germany to race. Although his family was poor, people contributed and gave them some money because they saw passion in the young Schumacher and thought he would become a very good racer one day. And after 7 or 8 years he became the formula one champion. His brother on the other hand did it for fun and so did not win any championship.

Now that the first question is answered, the topic question can be answered easily. As i said before formula one is the most difficult racing in the world, as the racers have to go through tight corners and be careful of the speed balance. To be the very best driver a formula one driver has to train a lot. He has to go to a racing school and practice and learn and only then he can become a very good racer. Unlike Nascar, the formula one drivers must have good reflexes as they have to turn through tight corners. In Nascar all the drivers have to do is paddle and steer in circles. But in formula one a driver has to be precise at every corner.
One more thing that matters in formula one racing are the cars. The cars have to be strong and efficient. Kimi Riakonnen, the world champion of 2007, performed beautifully in the passing season. He never before won a championship but as soon he joined Ferrari, he became the world champion.
So there are three things that matter in Formula one racing. Passion, driver's training, and the car. If you want to become a good champion you have to follow these steps.
