  Formula 1 complete - all in F1 - Ferrari (Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro)
In the 1961 Formula One season, with new rules for 1500cm³, the team kept Hill, von Trips and Ginther, and debuted another Chiti-designed car, the Ferrari 156 based on the Formula 2 car of 1960, which was dominant throughout the season.
The 1965 Formula One season was the last year of the 1.5-liter formula, so Ferrari opted to use the same V8 engine another year together with a new flat-12 which had debuted at the end of 1964; they won no races as Clark dominated in his now more reliable Lotus.
For the 1966 Formula One season with new rules, the Ferrari 312 of Surtees consisted of a 3-liter version of the 3.3-liter V12 which they had previously used in Ferrari P sports car racers, mounted in the back of a rather heavy F1 chassis.

 FORMULA ONE RACING AND THE FIA FEDERATION INTERNATIONAL DE LA AUTOMOBILE
Formula One teams must build the chassis in which they compete, and consequently the terms "team" and "constructor" are more or less interchangeable; this requirement distinguishes the sport from "spec series" such as IRL, CART, Formula 3000 and NASCAR.
Entering a (new) team in the Formula One World Championship requires a £25 million up-front payment to the FIA, which is then repaid to the team over the season.
Throughout the 2004 season, Formula One Management president Bernie Ecclestone repeatedly voiced his disapproval of the Silverstone Circuit, and suggested that unless its owners, the British Racing Drivers Club, modernise the facilities, the British Grand Prix would not appear on the 2005 schedule.

 Formula One - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Formula One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix Racing is the highest and most ludicrously overrated mathematical formula in the world.
Formula One originally began as Grand Prix Racing in the early 1950s, where teams of local car enthusiasts would meet outside the main shopping centre in Paris and perform laps of the car park in vehicles resembling hairdryers on wheels.
Their best finish was in the 1993 season when they finished bottom of the Constructors Table after an administrative error handed them a point.

 1952 Swiss Grand Prix - ArmchairGM - Sports Wiki, Sports Blog, Sports Resource, Sports Community, Sports 2.0
The 1952 Formula One season had huge rule changes from 1951.
Alfa Romeo, who had dominated the 1950 and 1951 events retired from Grand Prix racing, and as a result, only Ferrari were likely to be competitive this season.
Because of this, and a huge reduction of entries, the World Championship was run according to Formula Two rules and regulations, in an attempt to boost entry to the races.

 Franchise Sustained Success and Futility Snapshots
Also, the formula has extra recognition of special levels of success or failure, such as success bonuses for winning a split season championship, winning a full season league championship, and winning a Japan series championship.
A single season’s score is determined as follows: first, if a team is exactly.500, the season is scored at zero unless there is a.500 team which makes the playoffs, in which case said team gets the appropriate playoff bonuses.
The system clearly picks this up, because a team which is scored at -2 for a season or less is usually pathetic, and they averaged less than -2.41 a season for their entire existence.

With reasonable results in lower formulae, he found himself racing in the top flight in 1981, and furthermore, racing alongside his good friend, who also happened to be an Italian F1 institution - Riccardo Patrese.
Formula Italia champ, fast tracked to Euro F3 Stohr took up karting at the comparatively old age of 19 - perhaps this had something to do with his educational studies, as he later graduated in psychology.
Having retired with engine problems from the South African GP which did not have championship status, the first race of the season proper was something of an eye opener for Siegfried.

 The Baseball Guru - MOST DOMINANT/MOST DOMINATED SINGLE SEASON TEAMS by Jim Albright
I retained Craig’s idea of using the ratio of runs scored to runs allowed in the formula, and the idea of using the mirror image of the system used to identify dominant teams to identify the teams which were most dominated.
The dominance formula will push high win teams which score a higher ratio of runs relative to their opponents dramatically forward, and the being dominated formula will push forward exactly the opposite kind of team.
There is one aspect of the dominant formula which is not mirrored by the most dominated formula.

The FIA decided that for the 1952 Formula 1 season the rules of the Formula 2 (2 litre without a supercharger) and not the rules of the formula 1 (1.5 litre or 4.5 litre without supercharger) would apply.
The reason for this decision of the FIA was that they didn't want that Ferrari would win the championship by a lack off serious opponents.

BMW first entered Formula One with Brabham in 1982 during the turbo era, and subsequently supplied engines to Arrows, ATS and Benetton, powering Nelson Piquet to the World Championship in 1983.
As the season progressed the team worked on the problems and from San Marino the F1.06 was clearly improving, with the team regularly scoring points.
Although 2006 was an excellent debut season, let's not forget that Red Bull and Williams should show definite signs of improvement this year, which means BMW will have to maintain the progress shown in the second half of 2006, and then some.
