	Formula One
		Formula One, or Grand Prix racing is the best known single-seater auto racing class, which involves an annual world championship.
		In 1958, a world championship for constructors was started as well.
		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.

		Regulations have changed greatly as car technologies have improved, with the appearance of rear-engined cars in the late 1950s, the introduction of wings in the late 1960s, then ground effect aerodynamics in the late 1970s by Lotus, followed by the 1980s era of turbocharged engines developing upwards of 1000 horsepower.
		According to Ecclestone, the move is to increase Formula One's global reach, though the steady tightening of restrictions on tobacco advertising in Europe and elsewhere may also be a factor.

		Eventual winner Jack Brabham, by now a works driver for the Cooper concern, for whom he won the Formula II championship in 1957 and spring into world class, was the strongest of the Australian contingent.

		But the 1996 season's opening race, at Melbourne's restored Albert Park circuit, proved that Jacques was anything but a second-place driver — even though that is where the Canadian eventually finished.

	A History of Ferrari in Formula One
		There are two significant things about these F1 models: first, the collection is a virtually complete set of every important Ferrari F1 car since the beginning of world championship racing in 1950.
		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.

		John "Skip" Barber, one of a select few Americans to compete in the Formula One World Championship, started racing in 1958 while studying at Harvard University, where he earned a degree in English.
		When his racing career ended, Barber's belief that auto racing was "coachable" in the same manner as any other sport -- at the time, a distinctly minority position -- led him to create the eponymously named Racing School, and a year later, the equal-car Race Series.
