lt;gt;lt;gt;It is because karts have simple structure, high safety and great racing characteristics, that they are extremely popular and popular in countries such as Europe and Japan. Most of the world-famous karts F1 drivers such as Brazilian car king Senna, French star Prost, German driver Schumacher, Finnish flying star Hakkinen, and Japanese star Toranosuke Okaki all started driving karts and entered the racing world. Therefore, karting is also known as the "cradle of F1". F1's first official race was the British Silverstone Grand Prix in 1950. The British royal family attended in person. Italian driver Giuseppe Farina won the first F1 Grand Prix championship. He was also the driver's championship that year, the first in F1 history. Drivers' championship winner. In 1951, a real car king emerged in F1, Juan Manuel Fangio, an Argentinian driver who won the driver's championship five times (1951, 54-57). Incredibly, he only entered Formula One at the age of 38! In 1958, the Cooper-Climax racing car first adopted a rear-engine design, which was a technological revolution in the history of F1. Pictured here is Stirling Moss driving a rear-engine Cooper racing car. The 1958 event after Car King Fangio showed a fierce competition among several British drivers. The top four at the end of the year were all British drivers, including Mike Hawthorn, Stirling Moss, etc. In addition, it was also in 1958 that F1 began to establish a "year-end team championship". In short, no matter how bumpy the road was, F1 in the 1950s was no longer an early motor sport. With the adoption of the competition rules specially formulated by the FIA ??- "Formula One", F1 began to make great strides forward. The 1960s was an important turning point for F1. F1 broke away from its childishness. Let’s look at the technical aspects first. In just two years, rear-mounted engines have been widely used by various teams. At this time, the Cooper team's rear-engine technology was very mature, and it won the driver's championship and team championship in 1959 and 1960. It is also worth mentioning that throughout the 1960s, except for Ferrari's two drivers' championships, it was almost an era of British teams and British drivers. The teams included BRM, Lotus, and Brabham-Repco, and the drivers included Clark, Graham Hill, and Jachie Stewart. , John Surtees. Among them, John Surtees is a man who has won both the F1 world championship and the motorcycle world championship. Colin Chapman's design talent gradually transformed the Lotus team into a dream team. In 1967, the Lotus team first used a two-seat 4-valve engine (DFV engine), which later dominated the entire 1970s. In addition, in the 1960s, the Lotus team was also in a leading position in aerodynamics, and the current downforce theory was established at that time. In the 1960s, racing accidents began to increase. On this point, let’s look at the 1960s of two-time world champion Jim Clark. In 1960, he crossed the finish line at Spa in a car splattered with the blood of a British driver who died on the spot. At the 1961 Italian Grand Prix, he collided with Trips (German, Ferrari), causing the Ferrari to crash into the crowd, killing Trips and 14 spectators. In 1968, the undisputed world champion died during a practice session in Hockenheim. All this made people question the sport of F1 from its foundation and triggered a lot of thinking. Also in 1968, Lotus racing cars printed advertisements for Gold Leaf cigarettes, which was the first time in F1 history that commercial sponsorship was introduced.

The 1970s made F1 gradually mature. First of all, a series of track accidents in the 1970s made safety issues receive extraordinary attention. The 1970 drivers' championship Jochen Rindt is the only posthumous world champion in F1 history. Additionally, in 1973, unable to bear to watch any more track tragedies, Jackie Stewart decided to race his 100th Grand Prix at Watkins Glen as his farewell race. But as if to have a different meaning, Francois Cevert died during the practice session of this Grand Prix. As a result, Stewart led the first "safety revolution" in F1 history. This safety revolution has enabled F1's cars, tracks and driver equipment to be reviewed, demonstrated and improved from a safety perspective. In people's eyes, Jackie Stewart not only won three driver championships, but more importantly, it seems that he brought safety awareness to F1. Another major event in the 1970s starts with the 1976 world champion James Hunt. James began to attract the attention of the world with his playboy style. F1 began to attract the attention of the world media. Since then, F1's famous drivers have also become star figures in the spotlight. I have to mention here the current head of F1, Mr. Bernie Ecclestone, because it was he who negotiated with the television media for the broadcast of F1 games and personally implemented all the details, thus sending live footage of F1 games to thousands of households. . Bernie's introduction of television broadcasts to F1 has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the development of F1, and F1's commercial operations have gradually matured. From a technical perspective, in 1977, F1 experienced another technological innovation. Renault team introduced turbocharged engines. From then on, F1 had a situation where turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines coexisted and competed for supremacy until turbocharged engines were banned in 1988. The 1980s - the fiercest competition. The 1980s in F1 was an era of unprecedented great drivers, including Brazilian Nelson Pequet, Ayrton Senna, Frenchman Alain Prost and Briton Nigel Mansell. The fiercest competition started between them. The competition continues to be exciting. On the team side, McLaren cars driven by Prost and Senna won 5 drivers' championships and 4 constructors' championships in the 1980s. Especially in 1988, which was also Senna's first driver's championship year, McLaren amazingly won 15 championships in 16 races! Ferrari won the 1988 Monza Grand Prix. The team's founder, Enzo Ferrari, passed away just a few weeks ago. After the 1990s - Modern F1 F1 in the 1990s was a period of rapid technological development. In 1993, Prost's last driver's championship year, the Williams-Renault car he drove was the most advanced car ever built in F1. The car is equipped with tire anti-lock braking system, traction control system and electronically controlled suspension system. However, Senna's death in 1994 triggered F1's second "safety revolution". The FIA ??disabled the above driving assistance systems used to increase vehicle speed, and F1 racing returned to its original basic structure. After Senna's death, the FIA's annual safety assessment project was launched. In the future, the FIA ??will attach great importance to safety issues when formulating rules, and many rules are formulated to reduce vehicle speeds. For example, in 1999, it was stipulated that four grooves should be added to dry tires to reduce the tire grip. In addition, technological research and development to improve safety have also yielded results. The Driver's Head and Neck Protection System (HANS) is an example. It has been used in the 2003 season and has been well received by drivers and teams. In fact, it has played a great role. After Senna left, German driver Michael Schumacher gradually became the new car king of F1.

He won his first world championship in 1994, his fourth year in F1. Successfully defended the title for Renault Racing Team in 1995. In 1996, he transferred to the Ferrari team, which was not in very good condition, and finally won the world championship for Ferrari in 2000 after 21 years. The red car once again began its legendary record. Today, Schumacher is already a five-time world champion, with 64 race wins, exceeding the record of all previous drivers. Every victory he wins in the future is equivalent to rewriting the history of F1. Throughout the 50 years of F1, wisdom, courage, calmness, persistence, challenges, passion, dreams, success and failure are intertwined. The joy, disappointment, competition and investment on the track attract people's attention. The charm and danger of F1 are its eternal contradictions... (Ocean) The historical story of the Formula One team. Since the founding of the F1 championship in 1950, a team will withdraw almost every season, and their seats will always be vacant quickly. were filled in by other teams. Therefore, from the beginning to the present, at least 97 teams have shown their style on this stage. By 1995, only 12 teams were retained, which means that in these years, 85 teams have been eliminated. . In the early F1 competition, half of the teams participating in the competition were from the United Kingdom and Italy. By 1965, almost all participating teams were from these two countries. It can be said that they have almost monopolized the car racing and almost At the same time, he won the honor of every competition. For F1 competition, not being eliminated is a victory in itself. The Braheim team disappeared for nearly 10 years after winning the world championship in 1983; I believe people also believe that Frank Williams was forced to sell all his private property in the 1970s in order to pay the wages of his employees. Will not forget. The cost of establishing a team is quite high, and sponsors tend to only sponsor teams with better records. Therefore, it can be said that the polarization of teams is relatively obvious. Since 1988, only Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams Four teams including Sri Lanka and Benetton have won. Enzo Ferrari - the founder of Ferrari Racing Team Ferrari is the only team that still participates in the competition since the founding of the World Championship. Enzo was still firmly in control of the Scud until he was about to die at the age of 90, and to this day, his thoughts still deeply influence Ferrari and have never changed. Bruce McLaren - the founder of McLaren Racing, he first participated in the race at the age of 28 and achieved his last victory in 1986 driving a car with his name on it. He was killed in Goodwood on June 2, 1970, but his name remains prominent to this day. Frank Williams - the founder of Williams Racing Team, he was originally a racing driver, and later founded several Formula One teams. In 1977, he established Williams Grand Prix Engineering Co., Ltd. After going through the difficult period of lack of funds, he finally won the Grand Prix with Clay Regazzoni in 1979, and won the first world championship title with Alan Jones in 1980. Since then, the name Williams has been at the top of the F1 rankings.
