	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 One History - Wings, Shunts & Ground Effects
		Lotus returned in force in 1970, a season which was all about the brilliance of Austrian Jochen Rindt with the new Lotus 72 (taking the laurels in Monaco, Holland, France, Britain and Germany) and was overshadowed by Rindt's horrific death in practice for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza's infamous Parabolica corner.
		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 One cars now sported huge airboxes behind the cockpits to increase air flow to the engine, leading the way (after a short experiment with the famous six-wheel Tyrrell P34, which was a front-runner throughout 1976) to the next major technical revolution in F1: ground effects.

	BBC SPORT \| FORMULA ONE \| Racing legend Stewart knighted
		Born in 1939 in Dunbartonshire, Stewart was a natural sportsman as a youngster and represented his country at shooting before settling for a career in motor sport.
		That first season was a huge success - he won his first championship point in his first race, recorded his first Grand Prix victory at Monza and finished an incredible third in the World Drivers' Championship.
		The following season was marred by injury after an horrific crash at Spa in Belgium which led to him campaigning for improved safety measures - a campaign he continued throughout his career.

		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.

		The 3 liter Formula was now one year old and after an unsuccessful 1966 season using a variety of engines including the H-16 BRM, Chapman was desperate for a new power source.
		Most observers felt that a 12 cylinder engine would be bare minimum required for the 3 liter Formula and BRM continued with their 16 but the 8 cylinder had many adherents back in Detroit.
		The new engine was finally ready for the third race of the season, the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.

		In the first season she was the typical widowed mom raising her two kids in an almost carbon copy of "Green Acres", but without the surrealism of that show.
		In the second season we see her become a writer for a magazine, which she would remain, with slight variations for the next few years.
		However, in the final season, the show pretty much becomes another version of "Mary Tyler Moore" with her now playing a single girl and without the kids that she had for the first few years.

		In Formula 2 Courage won a race at Enna and Williams's team ran a variety of different youngsters including Jacky Ickx and Derek Bell, who would both become F1 drivers and go to enjoy enormous success in sports car racing.
		Formula 1 was in the middle of the turbo revolution and Williams did a deal with Honda.
		The 1984 season was frustrating as the engines were under development but in 1985 with Rosberg being joined by Nigel Mansell things began to get better and by the end of the year the Williams-Honda was unbeatable.

		from 1982 through 1985, saw Lauda return as the "grand master" of Formula One to capture another World Championship for McLaren, become a mentor to the young Alain Prost in the finer art of scientific race driving, and rail against the advent of "ground effect" F1 technology.
		Like a boxer, however, Lauda could not resist the urge to make comeback, and in 1982 he rejoined Formula One, winning his third GP after returning and the 1984 title, over Prost, by the wafer-thin margin of 1/2 point (with Prost taking seven wins to Lauda's five).
		Finally giving in to the years, Lauda retired for good with 25 GP wins after the 1985 season, and now serves as a consultant to the Ferrari Team and current F1 idol Michael Schumacher.

	Drivers / Teams - Most exciting Formula One season...
		In 1969, again the British GP and the Italian GP were just points of interest in a season that saw Stewart win 6 of the first 8 races, and in that 8th round of a 11 race championship the Scottish driver was WC already with a little more than 70% of the championship run...
		In 1971 it was the same story: Stewart champ in the 8th round of the 11 race championship.
		Once more, of course this season had some points of interest as you mentioned, but I think in terms of tittle fights those were not interesting or exciting seasons at all.

		NBC greenlit a two-hour Columbo pilot (Ransom for a Dead Man) in 1971, and the series was launched that fall as part of the NBC Sunday Mystery Movie, a rotating 90-minute program that alternated Columbo with episodes of MacMillan and Wife and McCloud (another Levinson/Link creation).
		Created by Richard Levinson and William Link, the series debuted in 1971 with "Murder by the Book," which was actually the third appearance of Falk's Columbo (there had been two previous two-hour NBC World Premiere Movies prior to the series launch.) Interestingly, "Murder by the Book" was directed by a then unknown talent: Steven Spielberg.
		Levinson and Link turned that formula upside down, letting viewers in on the intracacies of the crime from the killer's viewpoint, their motivation, and what they did to cover their tracks to avoid discovery.
