In motor sports that have a standing start (e.g. Formula One), if there is a false start then the offender is subject to a time penalty and the race is normally not restarted.
Because the drivers get penalised for false starts. The penalty is a drive-through, which looses the driver about 30 seconds (give or take, depending on track).
If, for some reason, a car cannot start the race (engine failure during qualifying or practice, suspension fails, etc.), the car can still join the race, but will take a 10-position penalty at the start.
Disqualification. Disqualification is a harsher penalty which is given when a driver commits a serious offence.
The FIA takes a dim view of drivers crashing, particularly if the involve another car. If deemed to be at fault they will have a penalty and if serious enough may have points on their licence, be disqualified or have a race ban.
Drivers can be canned at any time.
Just because you make the team, doesn't mean you'll last the whole season.
There are no rules preventing women from competing in Formula 1, but the current grid is exclusively male. In fact, a female driver hasn't competed in a grand prix since 1976.

– What is the scope of the regulations? - The presence of alcohol in a driver's body during an International Competition is prohibited. - The FIA and/or the Stewards on site can require a testing (random or targeted).
How are false starts penalised? Cars are fitted with transponders that detect any movement before the lights go out – and any false start is penalised with a five or ten second penalty or a drive-through, depending on the advantage gained.
Why are there no false starts in F1? Because the drivers get penalised for false starts. The penalty is a drive-through, which looses the driver about 30 seconds (give or take, depending on track). So, better be a tenth or three behind the lights than be a tenth or so before it, and lose 300 times that amount.
The first time an additional element is used, the driver gets a 10-place grid penalty. The next time an additional element is used, the driver gets a five-place grid penalty. If a driver incurs a penalty exceeding 15 grid places, they will be required to start the race at the back.
In F1 there's actually a rule which states that if a driver retires from the race they have to go to the media pen and give some interviews. But following on from his fourth DNF in six races Max Verstappen shirked his media duties and as a result has been fined €25,000.
When are you not allowed to overtake? Overtaking is forbidden on the formation lap – obviously, because the race has not started yet! There are exceptions, though. If a car gets away slowly, drivers can pass it but that car can also pass back to recover their position.
If you're tied on points, the title goes to the one who has more victories. If equal on that, to the one with more 2nd places. If equal on 1sts and 2nds, then it goes to who has more 3rds.
Max Verstappen refuses to let teammate Sergio Perez back through and is furious with Red Bull on the team radio. Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has admitted that the row between Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez at the 2022 Sao Paulo Grand Prix was caused by a team mistake.
This is the requirement at a race start as the sporting regulations state it is only an offence to have “any part of the contact patch of its front tyres outside of the lines at the time of the start signal”. So, while Verstappen was on the white line he was not over it and the FIA deemed it was OK.
Why were the Grid Girls banned from F1? As the grid girls were banned, Formula 1 management justified this as an act to make the sport equal for all. The move came a few years after Liberty Media, the group that owns and operates F1, came into power.
Meet Sophia Floersch - the only woman driver in F3 this season who has F1 dreams - Daily Star.

Pole position
The furthest-forward starting berth on the grid allocated to the driver who has set the fastest qualifying lap in Q3 on the Saturday.
F1 drivers do not listen to music during a race. While it is not banned in the official rules, it is not done by any driver. In a sport as intense as F1, music would only distract the drivers and prevent them from receiving important information from their team.
As the drivers have their personal preferences, some smoked in private, whereas some were public in their approach. A few big names who smoked are the seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, James Hunt, Kimi Raikkonen, Jules Bianchi, and of course 2016 F1 World Champion Nico Rosberg and his father Keke Rosberg.
