	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.

		In the 1961 Formula One season, with new rules for 1500cmÂ³, 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.
		During 1969 Formula One season Enzo Ferrari set about wisely spending his newfound wealth to revive his struggling team; though Ferrari did compete in Formula One in 1969, it was something of a throwaway season while the team was restructured.

		Although initially it did slow the cars down somewhat, one of the stories of the season was how much downforce teams could generate initially and how much they could claw back as the year wore on.
		Although at the start of the season the question of which driver was on an engine into its second race provided some novelty and confusion in equal measure, by year's end it was a largely irrelevant matter, especially after the FIA had clamped down on deliberate retirements in the wake of Melbourne anyway.

		By season's end, the team was gone, at a time when another year or two saw the widespread availability of the Cosworth DFV, which might have returned the team to competitiveness and saved the team.

		When looking at the Formula One seasons in the early 1960s, the World Championships were only contested in some nine or ten races, and this has led to some unfavourable comparisons of win-rates with more contemporary drivers competing in up to sixteen races a year.
		Clark's first Formula One win came in a non-championship race at Pau and while there was a slightly depleted field, Jack Brabham was always stern opposition.
		Clark's season was not a very satisfying one, made less so by his collision with 'Taffy' von Trips at the Italian Grand Prix, resulting in von Trips careering off the circuit, killing himself and 14 spectators.
