	History of Formula One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Formula One was first defined in 1946 by the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI) of the FIA, forerunner of FISA, as the premier single seater racing category in worldwide motorsport.
		In the beginning the formula was largely defined by engine capacity, initially 4.5 litres normally aspirated, or the pre-war 1.5 litre supercharged 'voiturettes' formula.
		The first race after the new formula was announced was the 1946 Valentino Grand Prix held on the 1 September at Turin, the race being won by Achille Varzi in an Alfa Romeo 158 Alfetta, although in reality the cars were no different to those that had raced earlier in the season.

	The Ultimate Formula One - American History Information Guide and Reference
		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.
		Non-championship Formula One races were held for many years, but due to rising costs and sinking interest, the last of these ended in the early 1980s.
		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.

	Crash.Net FORMULA ONE: History made at Monza. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		History was made in two ways at Monza as, alongside being the race which saw the end of Michael Schumacher's hold on the F1 title, the Italian Grand Prix saw all 20 drivers who took the start make it to the chequered flag.
		It marked the first occasion in 44 years that a Formula One GP has had a 100 per cent finishing record, with the last occasion coming back in 1961 when Wolfgang von Trips lead home a field of 15 in the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort.
		However, this coming weekend, many of the engines that completed one of the toughest races on the calendar in Italy will be forced to survive another of F1 hardest circuits at Spa, which Renault engine technical director Rob White said would be a challenge for the teams.

		This is an ongoing task - after the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at Imola during the 1994 season, the FIA mandated further changes to circuits.

		Formula One, or Grand Prix racing, is the best known single-seater (open-wheel) auto racing class; though it has traditionally been centered in Europe, it is a worldwide sport, and involves an annual World Drivers Championship and World Constructors Championship.
		Formula One's 1950 debut season saw eighteen teams compete, but due to rising costs many dropped out quickly.

		The most important of these was the monocoque (or one-piece) chassis, introduced with the Lotus 25 in 1962, which along with rear engines marked the second watershed technological change in Formula One.
		The Lotus string was broken only by John Surtees in the 1964 Ferrari 158 (it would be 11 years before the Maranello team would win another F1 title), and Jack Brabham's new Team Brabham, which won in 1966-67 while Lotus struggled with the new, increased 3.0 litre engine specification for F1.

		Formula One drivers are generally a fairly close knit group of individuals, and whilst that doesn't mean that they always get along with each other, it does mean that they have been racing each other for a while and wish to keep it that way.
		In the latter half of the 20th Century it was said that Formula One was watched by 25% of the world, 16 times a year, more than any other sport in existence.
		Britain is the home of Formula One racing, and has been since Silverstone was built in the late 1940s and hosted the first world Grand Prix in 1950.

	steering wheel :: F1Technical.net
		Together with the introduction of semi-automatic gearboxes, this was one of the most changing introductions in the history of Formula One, especially on the driver's side.
		Modern Formula 1 steering wheels typically now include a clutch paddle, as this is only used when the car is leaving the garage, and eliminating the clutch pedal allows the car designers to further optimise the packaging of components in the footwell.
		However, during any specific Formula 1 season, more steering wheels will have to be manufactured, because it is a Team McLaren Mercedes policy that, when one of its drivers finishes a grand prix on the podium, the wheel from his car is removed and its history documented.
