	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.

	Kimi Räikkönen
		October 17, 1979 in Espoo, Finland, is a talented Formula One driver.
		Without a single bit of experience in Formula 3[?] or Formula 3000, the two series generally believed to be "feeder" series to F1, he was not immediately granted the superlicence necessary to race in the series, with the thought that his lack of major experience was going to be a hazard on track.
		In 6 of his 7 races he has reached the podium, only missing the podium after a crash on the first lap of a race that he was forced to start from the back of the field after a spin in his only shot of qualifying.

	F1 Season 2000 review
		This was until the season hit its half way mark and Schumacher failed to finish in three consecutive races (France, Austria and Germany), two of which he even failed to get past the first corner of the race, as accidents caused by other drivers took him off the circuit.
		How could any Formula one fan forget seeing Mika Hakkinen crying in the Monza bushes at last years Italian Grand Prix, after a lapse of concentration caused him to skid across the track and out of the race when he was clearly leading.
		Now with everything to play for, the Formula 1 world championship returned to the US after a 40-year absence, to what is one of the most famous racing circuits in the world, Indy.

	Formula1
		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.

		Michael Schumacher's recruitment for the 1996 season seemed to rejuvinate the team and, after a string of embarrassing mechanical failures, the team managed three victories and 2nd place in the constructor's championship.
		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.
		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.

	Formula One 05 Review
		After the ongoing fallout from the US Grand Prix recently, it seems rather well timed that this year’s annual update of Formula One has been released in the same time frame – at least this way disappointed fans will be able to stage their own Indianapolis GP with a full grid.
		Players who wish to race through the 2005 season and take control of any of this years drivers will be most at home participating in the Season Mode, allowing gamers to take in all 19 races of the 2005 F1 Calendar as the current driver of their choice.
		Instead, ITV’s Formula One commentators Martin Brundle and James Allen open with a breakdown of the previous year’s results followed by a series of “Schumacher/Alonso/Button is in the pits” announcements for the whole race – it’s just not exciting an certainly doesn’t build up the tension that should be conveyed through an F1 commentary.

		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.

		They actually began in earnest again in 1994, where Michael Schumacher was stupidly shown the fl flag at Silverstone for "overtaking" on the pre-race parade lap, and then slapped by FIA with a two-race suspension for allegedly ignoring the flag while Benetton's Flavio Briatore argued with the stewards.
		The shenanigans escalated at the Hungaroring that season, where Schumacher was disqualified on technical grounds after the wooden undertray plank on his Benetton was judged too thin under the regulations.
		And with his victory at Monza, Schumacher tied the legendary Ayrton Senna for second place among all drivers in career victories (eventually finshing the season with 44), weeping with joy during the post-race press conference as the magnitude of his accomplishment set in.

		Niki Lauda won five of those to seven for Prost, and won the F1 drivers' title by 1/2 point — the strange total arising because the Monaco GP was halted in a thunderstorm after 31 laps and only half points awarded.
		Senna, who joined McLaren after several seasons with Lotus, won the F1 title in 1988, taking the championship deciding race in Japan at Suzuka, after stalling on the grid, with an inspired drive to catch and pass Prost and then draw away in the rain.
		And as a season, 1988 was like no other, with Senna and Prost finishing 1-2, combining for 167 points while winning 15 of the 16 GPs, and McLaren cruising to the constructors' title (shattering 1984's total).

		Although track stewards initially ruled the collision a “racing incident,” Formula 1’s governing body, the FIA, thought otherwise and disqualified Schumacher’s results, not merely from Jerez, but from the entire season, removing him from second in the championship.
