Formula 1: The Official History: fully revised and updated

Product Information

The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, the Sochi Autodrom in Sochi and the Baku City Circuit in Azerbaijan have all been introduced as brand new tracks since 2012. Mercedes drivers won the championship for the next two years, before the team withdrew from all motorsport competitions due to the 1955 Le Mans disaster. Other Grands Prix in Asia have had their start times adjusted to benefit the European television audience.

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. Magnesium alloy wheels made by forging are used to achieve maximum unsprung rotating weight reduction. 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. Therefore, it is possible for a driver to receive points even if they retired before the end of the race.In March 2018, FOM announced the launch of F1 TV, an over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform that lets viewers watch multiple simultaneous video feeds and timing screens in addition to traditional directed race footage and commentary. The program vows that approximately 25% of all new hires to the team will come from underrepresented minorities in the sport until 2025. A BAR-Honda Formula One car, running with minimum downforce on a runway in the Mojave Desert achieved a top speed of 415 km/h (258 mph) in 2006. Although most drivers earn their seat on ability, commercial considerations also come into play with teams having to satisfy sponsors and financial demands.

The Monaco Grand Prix was first held in 1929 and has run continuously since 1955 (with the exception of 2020) and is widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious automobile races in the world. 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. The number one is reserved for the reigning Drivers' Champion, who retains their previous number and may choose to use it instead of the number one.This meant that the drivers were depending entirely on the tyres for any small amount of cushioning of the car and driver from irregularities of the road surface. Flags specifications and usage are prescribed by Appendix H of the FIA's International Sporting Code. In most of Asia (excluding China), the two main broadcasters of Formula one includes the Fox network and Star Sports (in India).

Since 1984, every Formula One race has counted towards the World Championship, and every World Championship race has been run to Formula One regulations. The current street circuits are Monaco, Melbourne, Singapore, Baku, Miami, Jeddah, and Las Vegas although races in other urban locations come and go ( Detroit, for example) and proposals for such races. Traction control, launch control, and automatic shifting, plus other electronic driving aids, were first banned in 1994. 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. The first Formula One race was held in 1946, [198] whereas the World Championship did not start until 1950.Observers felt the ban on driver aids was in name only, as they "proved difficult to police effectively". In December 2020, the FIA claimed that it had developed a fuel with 100% sustainability, to be used in Formula One from either 2025 or 2026, when new engine regulations come into force.
