I have heard of Formula 1 racing and recently just started watching some of the races but I had never heard of Formula 3. What are the major differences between the two?

I've never even heard of Formula 3. Is there a Formula 2? What time is Formula 3 on? I'd like to watch it sometime. Also, do you know what channel it might be on? Thanks!
