	Formula One
		Formula One, or Grand Prix racing is the best known single-seater auto racing class, which involves an annual world championship.
		In 1950, a world championship Formula One was established for drivers.
		The sport is lesser-known in the United States than either their mostly-domestic open-wheeler racing series (at the moment there are two major ones, IRL and CART) or NASCAR, but in terms of budgets and global TV audiences F1 is bigger than all three.

	Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Formula One
		Formula One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix racing, is a form of formula racing and the highest class of single-seat open-wheel auto racing.
		Formula One teams must build the chassis in which they compete, and consequently the terms "team" and "constructor" are interchangeable; this requirement distinguishes the sport from "spec series" such as IRL and NASCAR.
		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.

		Ferrari was gaining strength and Alfa Romeo aware of this growing threat and unable to finance a proper defense of their title for next season chose to withdraw at the end of the year.
		The 1962 season would be fought with reworked 1961 cars driven chiefly by Phil Hill and supported by Willy Mairesse, Ricardo Rodriguez, Giancarlo Baghetti and Lorenzo Bandini in the face of a strengthened British (Lotus) and German (Porsche) challenge.
		The 1982 season had been a development season for Brabham and new engine supplier BMW, but when the car came right Nelson Piquet was the man to bring it home winning two of the last three races and claiming his second World Championship.

		But it was too late, the war was at the door and the rear-engined concept lay ignored for years, one of the few exceptions being the 1955 transverse-engined but pathetic Bugatti 251.
		The first victory was achieved against great odds, in Argentina during the 1958 season when Moss, with worn-out tires, ran non-stop in a little 1.96 liter Cooper-Climax T-45 to defeat the mighty 2.4-liter Ferrari 246s.
		The last race of the season was won by Bruce McLaren who remained for the next 20 odd years the youngest winner of a World Championship GP, being 22 years 3 months old at the time.

	Formula One
		Formula One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix racing, is the highest class of single-seater (open-wheel) auto racing; it is a worldwide sport, and involves an annual World Drivers Championship and World Constructors Championship.
		Non-championship Formula One races were held for many years around the world, but due to rising costs and sinking interest, the last of these ended in the early 1980s.
		Formula One has been called the soap opera of the sports world: the exotic locations, vast quantities of money, and famous faces involved in the "F1 circus" lend the sport an aura of glamour entirely absent from most other world sports.

	The Syracuse Grand Prix - 1955
		In October 1955, with nearly ten years of motor racing completed since the war, enthusiasts in this country were beginning to wonder whether a British racing car would ever win a major event.
		For two seasons the World Championship had been dominated by Fangio and Mercedes-Benz; previously to that it had been the red cars of Italy.
		It was a Friday afternoon and the first practice session for the 1955 Syracuse Grand Prix was well under way, but there was no sign of the transporters that had left England for Sicily a week earlier with two Connaught racing cars - one for Brooks and the other for Les Leston.

		However, this formula is not markedly more accurate than simply saying that the expected winning percentage in one-run games is the same as the ratio of runs scored to runs allowed.
		A formula which states the normal ratio between winning percentage and one-run winning percentage for one of these teams can't possibly work for the other one.
		In his four seasons they were negative 4.5, positive 3.6, negative 9.4 and negative 10.7, a total of 20.98 wins below expectation in his four seasons as a manager.

		Formula Two and Minardi beckoned for 1981, but Michele so impressed Tyrell with a one-off drive at the San Marino Grand Prix that theygave him a contract until the end of the 1983 season.
		Formula Three proved an even harder nut to crack, for although he finished third overall at his first attempt, it took four full years before he moved on to Formula Two for 1983, with an ORECA-run Martini.
		This form earned him a drive with Ferrari for 1959, and he stared his second season with the Italian team by finishing second in the Argentinian Grand Prix, but he was thrown from his car in practice at Monaco and broke an arm, leaving him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season.

		Two things about that first season: though the show ran an hour, each episode was not a normal hour length installment (50 mins.) but between five and ten minutes less than that, owing to 'behind the scenes' previews of upcoming WB movies.
		One last thing about the opening season - the episodes were far more spectacular than any to follow, as WB actually did mini remakes of big budget western films, using the stock footage from them and simply replacing whoever had starred with Clint.
		And, in truth, during its final two or three seasons, Cheyenne was awfully routine, in terms of scripting, direction, etc. But that first season was a real winner, and the next two or three were strong too.

		Gurney's success on the Formula 1 circuit was limited, primarily because of the unreliability of the new Weslake engine.
		Gurney's biggest Formula 1 success, however, was at the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix, where he drove a magnificent race to claim the first grand prix victory by an American driver and car since 1921.
		When SCCA revamped the Formula A series to new Formula 5000 specs, All American Racers fielded Formula 500 Eagles that, unfortunately, were more stunningly attractive than they were successful.

	Formula One History - The Early Years
		Farina, who topped Juan Manuel Fangio by three points in the 1950 season, is best remembered for his style of driving; the relaxed, inclined position and outstretched arms that was to influence a whole generation of drivers.
		Leaving for Ferrari in 1951, for the next two seasons Farina fought a personal battle with Alberto Ascari, a battle he was bound to lose, for Ascari was by far the better driver; more controlled, faster and more precise.
		When Mercedes withdrew from motor racing after the horrific, multi-car accident (which Fangio barely escaped) at the 1955 Le Mans 24 Hours that left 85 people dead, Fangio moved on to Ferrari (racing Lancias for a year), winning in 1956 with five poles, three wins and one 2nd in seven races.

		Next season didn’t get any better, however he once again managed to win the non-championship Pau race in his Gordini, beating home Trintigant who was in his new Ferrari 625.
		But it was the Mercedes works team which dominated the 1955 Formula One season, leaving Behra to pick up the scraps when the likes of Juan Manual Fangio and Stirling Moss were no-where to be seen at Monaco due to problems.
		However in most of his non-championship appearances that year in his new Maserati 250F, Behra was able to show the world he was a driver to be reckoned with and not to mention he was driving with only one ear after he lost one in a crash in the TT race that year.

		The Formula One World Championship is awarded by the FIA to the most successful driver (World Drivers' Championship or WDC) and constructor (World Constructors' Championship or WCC), as determined by a pointscoring system based on results over the season.
		The WDC has been awarded every season since 1950, and the WCC has been awarded every season since 1958.
		Before 1991 a driver could not count all of his results towards the championship - in the first season 4 races out of 7 were counted, and in the era of 16-race seasons, only 11 resutls from 16 counted.

		From 1955 the British Grand Prix swapped venues between Aintree and Silverstone, but with the advent of the 1960s, Aintree fell out of favour and the race was switched between Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
		The seven-time Formula One World Champion has been the topic of much debate ever since he was found guilty of deliberately stalling in order to hold onto pole position in Monte Carlo last Saturday.
		In 1955 the first race held at Aintree developed into a very memorable contest between two of the greatest drivers of the age.

		However, Schumacher was much more competitive in the opening races and it looks like he could return to form and be the man to beat again in 2006.

		At the time Fangio became the the world´s champion for the second time, in 1955, the Mercedes Benz team withdrew from competition after one of his cars caused a true massacre at Le Mans.
		This event marked the beginning of 1956, impelling the champion driver to sign a contract with Ferrari (the Italian team over which Fangio had always triumphed) which, this time, granted him first place on the winner´s platform for the third time in his life.

		All the great champions are here plus many other cars that, while not world-beaters, represent technological innovations or other important aspects of the history of Ferrari and F1 twin stories closely intertwined, since Ferrari is the only team to have contested each season since the inception of the world championship.
		For 1952,the race organizers and sporting authorities realized that there would not actually be much competition in the F1 category so it was decided to run the championship for Formula 2 cars until the advent of a new set of regulations in 1954.
		Its number one driver, Ascari, whom they had hired away from Ferrari, was killed in a testing accident early in 1955.
