As per the Formula 1 website 2012/08/04: " Power steering systems are allowed, but these must not be electronically controlled or powered. Four-wheel steering is forbidden. The car's steering wheel, steering column and steering rack all have to pass an FIA impact test."

If there is a tie, the driver that has won the most races in the year is named the champion.

If there is a tie for number of wins, the driver with the most second place finishes is named the champion.

If there is a tie for wins and number of second place finishes, the driver with the most third place finishes is named the champion.

The tie breaker rules work their way down the finishing order until the tie is broken.

Going into the final race of the 2010 F1 season, Fernando Alonzo has 5 wins and 246 points, Mark Webber has 4 wins and 238 points, and Sebastian Vettel has 4 wins and 231 points. Incredibly, it is possible that all three drivers could be tied after the final race in Abu Dhabi.

For example ...

If Alonzo finishes 5th and gets 10 points, Webber finishes 2nd and gets 18 points, and Vettel wins and gets 25 points, all three drivers would end the season with 256 points.

The first tie breaker would be number of wins. Alonzo and Vettel would have 5 wins and Webber would have 4 wins so Webber would be eliminated and Alonzo and Vettel would still be tied.

The second tie breaker would be number of second place finishes. Alonzo and Vettel both would have 2 second place finishes so they would still be tied.

The third tie breaker would be number of third place finishes. Alonzo and Vettel would both have 3 third place finishes so they would still be tied.

The fourth tie breaker would be number of fourth place finishes. Alonzo would have 2 fourth place finishes and Vettel would have 3 fourth place finishes. Alonzo would be eliminated and Vettel would be named world champion.

It means that a driver gets way ahead of the other car, and lets off of the throttle before the finish line, thus running a slower time, than capable. The advantage is a quicker car, racing a slower one.

To date, I don't think there's been one. However, the first woman to drive in NASCAR was Janet Guthrie, and the first black man to drive was Wendell Scott. You see, there is no formula one for women.

It was inevitable. Once passenger cars were invented, they wanted to see wich car/driver was faster than the other and competed. The 2nd car was built and the 1st guy said my car is faster. The second car was built. You can learn all about the history of auto racing here: http://autoracing.about.com/cs/beginners/a/Historyart1.htm dont forget the 1st guy said my cars faster+ Racing started when moonshiners wanted to get their cantraband liquors to the customer as fast as possible. So naturally moonshiners started to compete with each other to see who could deliver their goods the fastest. Then slowly they stopped racing on the dirt road and onto dirt tracks for extra money. The rest is history. They are all correct answers,the most is the moonshine answer,but i can take it one step farther when you say "THEY" well "THEY"(moonshiners) were what we (America) know today as southerners,but some of us know them as the (Ulster-Scots)a.k.a Ulster-Scotch/a.k.a the Scotch-Irish a.k.a the Ulster men a.k.a the people with out a country a.k.a "The Irish your mom never told you about"lol research now shows us that these are the people from North Ireland you came here in mass numbers and tis the reason the South has their own language (southern Drawl) or what ever you want to call it!but at any sence the south and everything about it is greatly influenced by the Ulster-Scots,and you can search any of the names i gave you and find many informations about the people from the south cheers Al

The red and white striped ones? I've heard them referred to as "bumpers" and "edges."

The are also referred to as "rumble strips" as they have uneven paving to alert the drivers that they are on or near the edge of the track, just like the ones you might find on the road or highway. However, most driver's now days simple use them as part of the track instead of the warning system they were designed for!
