		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.

	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.

	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.

	Guardian Unlimited Sport \| Formula one \| Formula one: McLaren closing the gap
		The formula one season reaches its halfway point at the breezy Circuit Gilles Villeneuve tomorrow and it is already painfully clear to most of the field that Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher are locked in a private battle for the world championship.
		Instead Raikkonen's spirited drive through the streets of Monaco last month, hard on the tail of the leader Alonso's Renault, was their best showing so far, and that ended prematurely with a fire in the engine compartment after the Finn was unluckily caught behind the safety car after a pit-stop.
		When it comes to developing a formula one car, progress is made through small improvements in lots of specific areas but is complicated by the fact that a minor change in one area may have unwelcome consequences in others.

		The 1981 playoffs were the first in Major League Baseball history to have three rounds, and the only ones to have three rounds until 1995.

		There was doubt whether his tactical acumen was at top-level, after all those seasons without wearing a uniform, but he had intimate knowledge of every player on the roster as a result of his years spent in player development.

	ESPN.com - Auto Racing - Hakkinen, Irvine could produce closest title finish
		The previous closest finish to a season occurred in 1984 when Austrian Niki Lauda beat Frenchman Alain Prost by just half a point -- a tally rendered possible only because the Monaco Grand Prix was stopped due to rain after 31 of 77 laps.
		Were Germany's Michael Schumacher to win at Suzuka, as he has done twice before, Irvine could finish fourth behind both Hakkinen and his McLaren teammate David Coulthard and yet still be champion by one point.
		Schumacher, twice a world champion with Benetton, knows all about close finishes to the season and the tactics that can make or break a team's hopes.

	'96 F1 Review
		McLaren improved from the disasterous '95 season (and chassis) with the nimble MP4/11 and a steady performance from Mika Hakkinen.
		Jordan got off to a spectacular start with Martin Brundle somersaulting his car in Australia (and then jogging back to the pits for his spare!) but that was one of the only times the gold cars were the centre of attention.
		Unfortunately, the rest of the season was much like the beginning with more reliability problems, particularly with the Mugen engines, although Diniz silenced many critics with some good showings.

		But it could take some time for matters to improve significantly, even if a turning point is in sight with McLaren due to test their heavily revised MP4-19B car at Silverstone this week.
		With just five points from seven races, McLaren are at their lowest ebb since Dennis took charge in 1981 and they will have to use the current MP4-19 for Canada and the United States on June 13 and 20.
		The race, the fourth Ferrari one-two of the season, is likely to be quietly forgotten when BMW and Mercedes get around to reviewing the highlights of the Formula One season -- if indeed there are any.
