Formula One

Nomex®, a fire-resistant, lightweight artificial fibre which undergoes thermal testing in the laboratory. It is subjected to an open flame with a temperature of 300 to 400 degrees Celsius that acts on the material from a distance of three centimetres - only if it fails to ignite within 10 seconds can it be used in a driver's overalls.

There have only been two German F1 World Champions - Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. Neither of these drivers have burned in a crash.

However, Niki Lauda is an Austrian triple World Champion who crashed at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring and was caught in a fire and had his ear burned off. He returned to F1 later that year, despite being badly injured. He has always worn a hat since, and currently presents the Austrian F1 coverage.

Also, German driver Wolfgang von Trips probably would have become F1 champion had he not died in a dreadful crash in Monza in 1961, which also killed 14 spectators.

A third person you could be thinking of is the other Austrian World Champ, Jochen Rindt. He died while practicing for the 1970 Italian Grand Prix, also at Monza. He later won the drivers' championship of that same year postumously, when no-one could surpass his points total.

180 litres, I believe, however all cars are under-fueled for the race so the driver must save fuel to make it to the end of the race, but this also makes the car lighter in the early stages of the race.

he attended flowing wells high school in tucson,arizona.

i think it is 32 but im not sure

It is hard to speculate on the production cost of a tyre, because teams do not pay for the single tyre, a complete set or all used tyres on a weekend anymore. Nowadays all teams pay a flat fee between 2.5 and 4.5 million Euro per season to their tyre supplier Pirelli.

That sounds a lot initially, but you have to take into account the total numbers and what else comes with it. For each of the 20 race weekends in the 2012 Formula 1 season, Pirelli provides each team with 144 tyres. That amounts to 36 sets or 18 sets per driver for each race. Any tyres, no matter if used or not, are returned to Pirelli who destroys and recycles them.

If you were to calculate a price out of that, you'd get to a range of ~875-1600 Euro per tyre, but it's not the whole truth.

The tyre supplier does more than supply the black gold. The flat fee comes with technical support and a free tyre engineer and who knows what else. Also, teams do not necessarily pay the (full) sum but pay in other ways, like with sponsor displays on their cars.

With no power steering and accelerations of up to 6gs, driving an F1 car is a huge physical feat. In addition the cars are so reliant on downforce, going slowly means that they lose most of their grip and the sheer power-weight ratio means the slightest mistake will send the car into a spin. F1 drivers - even the ones dragging a car round to come in last are hugely talented.

Check out the ratings of winkers worldwide at http://www.cheng.cam.ac.uk/~pjb10/winks/ratings/current.html . As of May 2009, Andy Purvis of the UK was number one in the rankings, with Larry Kahn of the USA in close second.

Yes, Nicole Sherzinger from the band "The Pussycat Dolls"

YouTube has loads of f1 races broadcasted in sections, from as far back as the early 90s to the latest season. Search using the year and name of the grand prix, e.g. 1997 European Grand Prix. Enjoy! :)

he can speak spanish, his native tongue, and English which he learned when he had to play for Liverpool.

^^the guy above is thinking of Fernando Torres, who is a football player. Fernando Alonso speaks English, Spanish and Italian.

Lewis Hamilton won the 2010 Canadian Grand Prix. He started the race on pole position after he finished fastest during qualifying. He continued the form and finished in 1st position. However Robert kubica had the fastest lap of the race.

Nelson Piquet won the drivers world championship in the year 1983. He drove for the Brabham-BMW team. He won only 3 races that season. Alain Prost was the runner up that season and he won 4 races that season.

Lewis Hamilton made his F1 debut in the year 2007 alongside Spanish double formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso. From 2008 Finnish driver Heikki Kovaleinen is his team mate. His second season with McLaren saw him achieve his first pole position at Silverstone and his first victory at Hungaroring, becoming the 100th driver to win a Formula One Grand Prix. He remained with the team for the 2009 season.

No. Sebatian Vettel currently has a girlfriend and likes to keep his private life out of the media spotlight.

If the question is "What is the prize money paid to a Formula 1 winner?", the strict answer is "none". Drivers sign a contract with their team at the beginning of a season and this lays out the financial terms. It is not just a flat rate salary but includes bonuses for final race position, practice results and final championship placing of both the driver and team. Most drivers at this level have their own companies and the contract with the race team is just one part of their income. In addition to this, they might have contracts with other sponsors, television and media work and appearance deals. Out of this income, a driver is likely to pay for travel, staffing of a small office and management fees. Teams take part in F1 on the basis of sponsorship from manufacturers or other interested parties. In addition, they share in an end of season "pot" which is negotiated with the management of F1. The share is mainly dependent on championship position but there are variations on this which, at one end of the spectrum, reward the "superteams" and at the other support the smaller ones.

Jacques Villeneuve's first Formula 1 race was on March 10, 1996. It was the Transurban Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit. He started first and finished second.

F1 drivers get 25 Points for getting 1st in a race.

It doesn't include qualifying.

There are many online racing games available, but it truly depends what you mean. There are many flashed-based racing games online, and also many installable games available from Steam that allow you to race online against other people.

No. It has happened in Indycars when Tom Sneva won the 1978 title without a race win, but never in NASCAR.

Lewis Hamilton was born in the year: 1985 in January in Stevenage (UK)

South Korea - The Korean Grand Prix to be held at the Korea International Circuit is the latest addition to the F1 racing calender.

The races took place on 5 continents, in 18 countries, and broadcasted in over 200 countries and territories. The drivers are less diverse, coming from less than 10 countries. The drivers are from: Finland, Spain, Britain, Germany, Japan, Russia, and Brazil.
