  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.

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.

The high point of the season, during which Minardi did not score any points, was Martini's front row start at the U.S. In 1991 Minardi adopted the V12 Ferrari engine and after struggling with it at the beginning of the season finished 7th in the constructor's championship.
Their most successful season was 1988 when Eddie Cheever and Derek Warwick took them to 5th place in the constructor's championship.
In 1996 he had another difficult season scoring an early 6th place at Argentina but failing to score any more points as the ddvelopment of the car was halted with the sale of the team to Tom Walkinshaw.

 Jim Clark's 1965 Formula One season   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
He won back the World Championship in Formula One, blitzed the field in the Indianapolis 500, won the Tasman Cup convincingly, won races in the Lotus Cortina and even got the reluctant Lotus 30 sports car over the line first.
For all the things that went wrong with the team in 1964, Clark approached 1965 with great resolve and maturity, and by year's end had demonstrated superiority in every class of racing in which he competed.
Clark was at his best in 1965 and when we look at the 1.5 litre formula, which ended at the close of the 1965 season, Clark's nineteen-win haul is almost double Hill's ten, and streets ahead of the next best, Surtees and Gurney on three each.

 DVD Verdict Review - The Flintstones: Season Six
With the third season birth of Fred and Wilma's daughter Pebbles, the fourth season addition of the Rubble's son Bamm-Bamm, and the introduction of those kooky next-door monsters the Gruesomes the previous year, the writers found they had painted themselves into a stone-age corner.
With limitless powers, he was often invoked just to throw a wrench into Fred and Barney's plans, and the season six writers rely far too heavily on the character to spice up the frequently flagging plots.
Gazoo aside, the reliance on classic sitcom plots continued in season six, though they are nicely balanced by some truly off-the-wall cartoons that had been began to play a bigger part in the show since the fourth season.

But for the 1961 season’s final 12 games, it was time to hand the reins over to Lou Klein.
Among their most perplexing issues was highly prized 22-year-old southpaw Dick Ellsworth, who backslid terribly from decent rookie and sophomore seasons in 1960 and 1961 to a horrendous 9-20, 5.09 performance in 1962.
The 1964 and 1965 Cubs both demonstrated a pattern peculiar to earlier Cub teams: a striking contrast between a few core stars and a lackluster supporting cast.
