Formula One

They are blue.

The last British driver to win the Formula 1 drivers championship was Jenson Button in 2009. Lewis Hamilton won in 2008. The last British winner before that was Damon Hill in 1996. See http://www.formula1.com/teams_and_drivers/hall_of_fame/ for the complete history.

The 1993 Formula One season was the 44th FIA Formula One World Championship season. It commenced on March 14, 1993, and ended on November 7 after sixteen races. Alain Prost won his fourth Drivers' world championship, and his Williams team retained their Constructors' world title. Alain Prost drove for the Williams Team. Former triple world champion Ayrton Senna was the runner-up. Prost's team-mate Damon Hill finished the season ranked third.

Michael, along with brother Ralf are Roman Catholics.

"Football/Soccer" Soccer is the most watched of all...

Though this series was limited to just 3.500 cars there are actually several options in order to buy a "Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren". When possibility would be for example AutoScout24 where currently round about 20 offers are listed!

Broncos are favored. In what is expected to be a high scoring duel, the Broncos have been favored by up to a touchdown by odds makers in weeks leading up to the game. This spread narrowed to 4 several days before and tightened to 1 point before the game began.

Formula One has been going on since 1950. Giuseppe Farina was the first Formula One drivers Champion and he drove an Alfa Romeo. Earlier only a few races were held every year but as the sport gained popularity the number of races increased every year.

Racing cars is a very competitive sport, usually in hot weather and without air conditioning (which would add weight and use power) so the drivers body sweats alot, several pints over a long race, this dehydrates the body and decreases the need to pee, but if a driver really must go then he has two options, stop and pay a visit or drive cross legged.

Yes and no. Drivers are not required to pay for a seat directly. Teams choose and hire their drivers themselves.

Some drivers are chosen based purely on talent and offered a salary by the team, others are chosen based on a mix of talent and cash/sponsorship money they bring to the team.

Many teams will opt for a less talented driver that brings money with them to help fund the team, where as some teams pay their drivers millions of dollars per year.

All drivers have to pay for a superlicense in order to be eligible to drive in Formula 1. This superlicense costs $12,800, plus $1,280 for each championship point earned the previous year., meaning some drivers have to pay over $1million for a superlicense while others only have to pay $12,800!

Very good question, i know plenty of car racers and car lovers who wouldn't be able to start an f1 experience car on the first try.

This is how it goes:

First, a huge 'Prod' like is plonked/plugged in quickly into the back of the car, where the gearbox is usually, with the driver being already in the car, he ignite the engine, and start clutching and revving the engine.

This is very hard to do, usually with normal drivers the car will just stall.

Once a Formula One car's engine is started its need to move becomes very urgent. As they are designed to operate at high speed (where there is a good supply of cooling air flowing over surfaces) modern Formula One cars have very little in the way of cooling - and the heat created by running engines while stationary puts enormous strain on the mechanical parts of the car.

Yes. Michael once crashed during the 1999 British GP in Silverstone. His car crashed due to a brake failure and he had a broken leg due to it.

Because of this accident, he was ruled out of the 1999 season for 6 races.

I did rally racing before and one of my friends now races in F1 the tickets he gave me were VIP to Germany race in 09 they were 800 Euros for 1 person That's just tickets without the travel. Regular seat tickets go for about 80-300 euros. So if you would like to go to Europe this month check out their website and find location where they are then book the flight and then take that and add it to Race tickets they can be from 1 race day to all 3 days 3 days are about 500 and 1 day can be as cheap as 80 Euros and cheap seats they all go about looks of the seats ofcourse good once are about 500.

Ken Wharton was born in Smethwick. He started 15 races in the Formula One World Championship from 1952 to 1955. He also won four British Hill Climb Championships (1951 to 1954).

The 1999 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held on March 7, 1999 at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit in Melbourne, Australia. It was the first race of the 1999 Formula One season - the 50th World Championship season in the history of Formula One.

Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard dominated in practice and the opening stage of the race, but retired with technical problems - the new McLaren MP4/14 proved to be very fast but not yet reliable. Michael Schumacher also had problems during this eventful race, which gave his Ferrari team mate Eddie Irvine the opportunity to take his first Grand Prix victory. The Irishman made no mistakes and beat Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Ralf Schumacher to the finish by a few seconds.

Jacques Villenueve had eleven in a row from the start of the season (and there was only 16 races!)

He might have had another one after that too but I forget...

You better believe it! The Nürburgring, simply known as "The Ring" by enthusiasts, is a motorsport race track in Nürburg, Germany. It was built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel, which is about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of Cologne, and 120 kilometres (75 mi) northwest of Frankfurt. Nicknamed The Green Hell by Jackie Stewart, it is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous and most demanding purpose-built race track in the world. The annual highlight is the 24 Hours Nürburgring weekend, held usually in mid-June, featuring 220 cars (from small 100 hp (75 kW) cars to 700 hp (520 kW) Turbo Porsches or 500 hp (370 kW) factory race cars built by BMW, Opel, Audi, Mercedes-Benz), over 700 drivers (amateurs and professionals) and up to 290,000 spectators. Because of its demanding layout, the Nordschleife is used by many auto manufacturers as a proving ground for car prototypes. Some of the most notable corporate "Ring Rats" are BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Nissan, Lexus, Saleen, and starting in 2002, General Motors. GM's first wave of Nürburgring-honed vehicles includes the Cadillac CTS-V and the fifth and sixth-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Nissan's Japanese domestic market supercar, the Skyline GT-R, was tuned at Nürburgring (Skyline GT-R V-spec II Nür) and held the unofficial lap record for road legal cars for some time.

Statistically Michael Schumacher is the greatest driver in history having won the most drivers championships,wins,pole positions,laps lead,fastest laps, and many other records throughout his career.

Carbon fibre has a high tensile strength, meaning that is can flex but maintain it's strength without snapping into pieces and it has a very low density. So it is due to lightness and strength which is vital for F1.

The British GP was first held in a circuit called Brooklands in 1926. Silverstone has been an entrant in the yearly F1 race season as early as 1950 and has been the venue for the British Grand Prix. Even the Donnington Park circuit was expected to host the British GP but unfortunately they could not gather enough funds and so the idea was dropped.
