	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.

		Despite a season marred by protests and concerns about driver safety — Fittipaldi refused to drive in the Spanish GP, which was stopped after 29 laps when a car launched into the crowd, killing four spectators — Lauda took nine poles and won five races to capture his first of three F1 crowns.

		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.

	The German Grand Prix - 1968
		In 1968, that statement was truer than ever as the Nurburgring was engulfed in a miserable fog and a steady drizzle soaked everyone.
		It was a wonderful compliment to Ken Tyrrell's mechanics because the standard of workmanship that they had provided throughout the season was really splendid.
		The only trouble with the car at all during the race, part from when it stalled, was that quite a lot of grit got into the throttle slides, and around half the distance the throttle was sticking open which really wasn't very convenient.
