formula one

 

  • Jacques Villeneuve qualifying at the 2005 United States Grand Prix in his Sauber C24 Once all the cars have formed on the grid, after the medical car positions itself behind
    the pack, a light system above the track indicates the start of the race: five red lights are illuminated at intervals of one second; they are all then extinguished simultaneously after an unspecified time (typically less than 3 seconds) to
    signal the start of the race.

  • The 1952 and 1953 World Championships were run to Formula Two regulations, for smaller, less powerful cars, due to concerns over the lack of Formula One cars available.

  • Formula One was a new formula agreed upon during 1946 with the first non-championship races taking place that year.

  • [57] Qualifying[edit] For much of the sport’s history, qualifying sessions differed little from practice sessions; drivers would have one or more sessions in which to set
    their fastest time, with the grid order determined by each driver’s best single lap, with the fastest getting first place on the grid, referred to as pole position.

  • Additional drivers (commonly known as third drivers) are allowed to run on Fridays, but only two cars may be used per team, requiring a race driver to give up their seat.

  • In each period, drivers run qualifying laps to attempt to advance to the next period, with the slowest drivers being “knocked out” of qualification (but not necessarily the
    race) at the end of the period and their grid positions set within the rearmost five based on their best lap times.

  • At the beginning of the 2016 Formula 1 season, the FIA introduced a new qualifying format, whereby drivers were knocked out every 90 seconds after a certain amount of time
    had passed in each session.

  • [60] As of 2022, all drivers are given a free choice of tyre to use at the start of the Grand Prix,[61] whereas in previous years only the drivers that did not participate
    in Q3 had free tyre choice for the start of the race.

  • [58] Grids were generally limited to 26 cars – if the race had more entries, qualification would also decide which drivers would start the race.

  • [36] Starting in 2000, with Ford’s purchase of Stewart Grand Prix to form the Jaguar Racing team, new manufacturer-owned teams entered Formula One for the first time since
    the departure of Alfa Romeo and Renault at the end of 1985.

  • The Ferguson P99, a four-wheel drive design, was the last front-engined F1 car to enter a world championship race.

  • During this period, any driver whose best lap takes longer than 107% of the fastest time in Q1 will not be allowed to start the race without permission from the stewards.

  • Race officials may end the race early (putting out a red flag) due to unsafe conditions such as extreme rainfall, and it must finish within two hours, although races are only
    likely to last this long in the case of extreme weather or if the safety car is deployed during the race.

  • This approach lasted until the end of 2002 before the rules were changed again because the teams were not running in the early part of the session to take advantage of better
    track conditions later on.

  • The qualifying format began to change in the early 2000s, with the FIA experimenting with limiting the number of laps, determining the aggregate time over two sessions, and
    allowing each driver only one qualifying lap.

  • [1] A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, which take place worldwide on both purpose-built circuits and closed public roads.

  • A “tyre war” between suppliers Michelin and Bridgestone saw lap times fall, although, at the 2005 United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis, seven out of ten teams did not
    race when their Michelin tyres were deemed unsafe for use, leading to Bridgestone becoming the sole tyre supplier to Formula One for the 2007 season by default.

  • Drivers may overtake one another for position over the course of the race.

  • [63] Under normal circumstances, the winner of the race is the first driver to cross the finish line having completed a set number of laps.

  • The World Drivers’ Championship, which became the FIA Formula One World Championship in 1981, has been one of the premier forms of racing around the world since its inaugural
    season in 1950.

  • [34] Team orders, legal since the championship started during 1950, were banned during 2002, after several incidents, in which teams openly manipulated race results, generating
    negative publicity, most famously by Ferrari at the 2002 Austrian Grand Prix.

  • Schumacher retired at the end of 2006 after sixteen years in Formula One, but came out of retirement for the 2010 season, racing for the newly formed Mercedes works team,
    following the rebrand of Brawn GP.

  • Despite the entry of these new teams, the proposed cost-cap was repealed and these teams – who did not have the budgets of the midfield and top-order teams – ran around at
    the back of the field until they inevitably collapsed; HRT in 2012, Caterham (formerly Lotus) in 2014 and Manor (formerly Virgin then Marussia), having survived falling into administration in 2014, went under at the end of 2016.

  • The race may be started from behind the Safety Car if race control feels a racing start would be excessively dangerous, such as extremely heavy rainfall.

  • A number of Grand Prix racing organisations had laid out rules for a world championship before World War II, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World
    Drivers’ Championship did not become formalised until 1947.

  • [47] To compensate for the loss of manufacturer teams, four new teams were accepted entry into the 2010 season ahead of a much anticipated ‘cost-cap’.

  • When a situation justifies pausing the race without terminating it, the red flag is deployed; since 2005, a ten-minute warning is given before the race is resumed behind the
    safety car, which leads the field for a lap before it returns to the pit lane (before then the race resumed in race order from the penultimate lap before the red flag was shown).

  • [39] The Formula One Teams Association (FOTA) believed that allowing some teams to have such technical freedom would have created a ‘two-tier’ championship, and thus requested
    urgent talks with the FIA.

  • Other changes included the qualifying format, the points scoring system, the technical regulations, and rules specifying how long engines and tyres must last.

  • Following the break, the 1–2 positioning remained constant until an engine failure for Hamilton in Malaysia left Rosberg in a commanding lead that he would not relinquish
    in the 5 remaining races.

  • Non-championship Formula One events were held by promoters for many years.

  • This, combined with the dominance of four teams (largely funded by big car manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz), caused the poorer independent teams to struggle not only to
    remain competitive, but to stay in business.

  • The aim was to mix up grid positions for the race, but due to unpopularity, the FIA reverted to the above qualifying format for the Chinese GP, after running the format for
    only two races.

  • Brabham were also being competitive during the early part of the 1980s, winning two Drivers’ Championships with Nelson Piquet.

  • During 1968, Team Gunston became the first team to run cigarette sponsorship on their Brabham cars, which privately entered in orange, brown and gold colours in the 1968 South
    African Grand Prix on 1 January 1968, thus introducing sponsorship to the sport.

  • Entrants included a reborn Team Lotus – which was led by a Malaysian consortium including Tony Fernandes, the boss of Air Asia; Hispania Racing – the first Spanish Formula
    One team; as well as Virgin Racing – Richard Branson’s entry into the series following a successful partnership with Brawn the year before.

  • A significant overhaul of the technical regulations intended to be introduced in the 2021 season was pushed back to 2022,[51] with constructors instead using their 2020 chassis
    for two seasons and a token system limiting which parts could be modified was introduced.

  • During the early 1990s, the number of entries was so high that the worst-performing teams had to enter a pre-qualifying session, with the fastest cars allowed through to the
    main qualifying session.

  • [37] Manufacturers’ decline and return of the privateers[edit] In 2008 and 2009, Honda, BMW, and Toyota all withdrew from Formula One racing within the space of a year, blaming
    the economic recession.

  • This prevented other cars from following closely due to their dependence on ‘clean’ air to make the car stick to the track.

  • [17] Five months later, Lotus as the first works team followed this example when they painted an Imperial Tobacco livery on their cars in the 1968 Spanish Grand Prix.

  • 2021 has seen the trialling of a ‘sprint qualifying’ race on the Saturday of three race weekends, with the intention of testing the new approach to qualifying.

  • In Q2, the 15 remaining drivers have 15 minutes to set one of the ten fastest times and proceed to the next period.

  • A points system is used at Grands Prix to determine two annual World Championships: one for drivers, the other for constructors.

  • [13][14] When a new Formula One formula for engines limited to 2.5 litres was reinstated to the world championship for 1954, Mercedes-Benz introduced the advanced W196.

  • [20] He offered Formula One to circuit owners as a package, which they could take or leave.

  • If due to heavy rainfall a start behind the safety car is necessary, then after the track has dried sufficiently, drivers will form up for a standing start.

  • Although the UK’s Stirling Moss was able to compete regularly, he was never able to win the world championship and has been described by The Independent as “The greatest driver
    to never win the world championship”.

  • During this period, the championship rules were changed frequently by the FIA with the intention of improving the on-track action and cutting costs.

  • A link with their previous owners still survived, however, with their car continuing to be powered by a Renault engine until 2014.

  • This lap is often referred to as the formation lap, as the cars lap in formation with no overtaking (although a driver who makes a mistake may regain lost ground).

  • The warm-up lap allows drivers to check the condition of the track and their car, gives the tyres a chance to warm up to increase traction, and also gives the pit crews time
    to clear themselves and their equipment from the grid.

  • The FIA, due to complaints that technology was determining the outcome of races more than driver skill, banned many such aids for the 1994 season.

  • [32] Damon Hill driving for Williams at the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix Results were mixed, as the lack of mechanical grip resulted in the more ingenious designers clawing back
    the deficit with aerodynamic grip.

  • It was agreed teams must cut spending to the level of the early 1990s within two years; exact figures were not specified,[42] and Max Mosley agreed he would not stand for
    re-election to the FIA presidency in October.

  • Mercedes emerged as the dominant force after the rule shake-up, with Lewis Hamilton winning the championship closely followed by his main rival and teammate, Nico Rosberg,
    with the team winning 16 out of the 19 races that season.

  • Having won the title by a mere 5 points, Rosberg retired from Formula One at season’s end, becoming the first driver since Alain Prost in 1993 to retire after winning the
    Drivers’ Championship.

  • Through the Grand Prix Manufacturers Association (GPMA), the manufacturers negotiated a larger share of Formula One’s commercial profit and a greater say in the running of
    the sport.

  • Major changes to the cars for the 2022 season has seen greater use of ground effect aerodynamics, and modified wings to reduce the turbulence behind the cars, with the goal
    of making overtaking easier.

  • The FIA President Max Mosley proposed numerous cost-cutting measures for the following season, including an optional budget cap for the teams;[39] teams electing to take the
    budget cap would be granted greater technical freedom, adjustable front and rear wings and an engine not subject to a rev limiter.

  • Finally, Q3 lasts 12 minutes and sees the remaining ten drivers decide the first ten grid positions.

  • No driver died of injuries sustained on the track at the wheel of a Formula One car for 20 years until the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix, where Jules Bianchi collided with a recovery
    vehicle after aquaplaning off the circuit, dying nine months later from his injuries.

  • However, street races like Monaco have shorter distances, to keep under the two-hour limit.

  • The next year, power in race trim reached around 820 kW (1,100 bhp), with boost pressure limited to only 4.0 bar.

  • They were also joined by the US F1 Team, which planned to run out of the United States as the only non-European-based team in the sport.

  • The aerodynamic forces pressing the cars to the track were up to five times the car’s weight.

  • In August 2020, a new Concorde Agreement was signed by all ten F1 teams committing them to the sport until 2025, including a $145M budget cap for car development to support
    equal competition and sustainable development in the future.

  • This prompted Honda to return to the sport in 2015 as the championship’s fourth engine manufacturer.

  • The race may also be restarted in the event of a serious accident or dangerous conditions, with the original start voided.

  • [41] Bernie Ecclestone, the former Chief executive of the Formula One Group On 24 June, an agreement was reached between Formula One’s governing body and the teams to prevent
    a breakaway series.

  • The teams won every Constructors’ Championship from 1979 to 2008, as well as placing themselves as the top four teams in the Constructors’ Championship in every season between
    1989 and 1997, and winning every race but one (the 1996 Monaco Grand Prix) between 1988 and 1997.

  • However, talks broke down and FOTA teams announced, with the exception of Williams and Force India,[40][41] that ‘they had no choice’ but to form a breakaway championship
    series.

  • The first world championship race took place at Silverstone in the United Kingdom in 1950.

given in Bamsey. The figure is from Heini Mader, who maintained the engines for the Benetton team, though maximum power figures from this period were necessarily estimates; BMW’s dynamometer, for example, was only capable of measuring up to 820 kW
(1,100 bhp). Figures higher than this are estimated from engine plenum pressure readings. Power in race trim at that time was lower than for qualifying due to the need for greater reliability and fuel efficiency during the race.
