FIA, or the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile, was formed in 1904 as a way to advocate for automotive organizations and drivers. At the time, cars weren't very common, so the mission of FIA eventually shifted more towards governing motorsports, including Formula One racing.

1. it's a formula for success
   it's a set of regulations
2. it's the formula of the fuel
   it's a method for changing tires

With F1 racing, teams must follow very specific rules about how a car can be built, otherwise they'll be disqualified from competition. The term "formula" is a fancy way of referring to these extensive regulations.

1. take them off
   weld them down
2. paint them hot pink
   replace them with unicorns

Technically speaking, F1 cars generate enough downforce that they could drive upside down. That's enough pressure to lift manhole covers right out of the road, so organizers at Monaco weld them down to prevent a serious accident.

Even though the idea for Formula One came about in the 1930s, WWII pushed it out of consideration. The first championship race was held at Silverstone, but the first race in F1 history took place about a month earlier in Pau.

1. it curves at 10 degrees
   it's completely flat between the two axles
2. it is wavy on the surface
   it has a corrugated surface for resistance

It wasn't always the case, but FIA now heavily regulates ground effect aero on cars. Among the regulations is this requirement for the undertray, which also must be a certain thickness.

Schumacher still holds the record for the most F1 championships, having claimed that top spot as a driver in 1994, 1995, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

1. driver's license
   NASCAR
2. commercial driver's license
   Super License

Under FIA regulation, a driver who competes in Formula One events must hold a Super License, which is issued by FIA. That means not just any racer can just jump into F1 competitions.

Maria Grazia "Lella" Lombardi, a female race car driver from Italy, was in the Formula One World Championship Grand Prix in 1974. She scored half a point in competition, a feat no other woman has duplicated.

Because a driver's overall is made of Nomex fiber, it's designed to withstand the intense heat that can come with a crash, which is about the temperature of a house fire. The overall and the helmet can deal with that temperature for 11 seconds.

1. manual only
   pneumatic only
2. hydraulic only
   any kind they like

For a competition that's so technologically advanced, it's interesting that only manual jacks can be used in the pits. A quick release mechanism helps shave precious milliseconds from the pit time.

1. flashlights
   tunnel
2. street lights
   reflection off the bay

Many drivers agree that this circuit is one of the most challenging out there, thanks to the many tight corners, quick elevation changes, and the fact it's easy to be blinded when leaving the tunnel portion.

Sure, Formula One Group isn't really a creative name at all, but it gets across the point that the organization owns and manages Formula One races, etc. The group has a CEO, but he's not the owner of the organization.

2. Ferrari
   Mercedes

With 668 points, Mercedes was able to soundly beat out Ferrari, which came in second place with 522 points. Competition among the ten teams is always intense.

1. a horrific crash

2. multiple teams caught cheating
   a pit crew member was hit by a car

A crash during the endurance race sent Pierre Levegh's Mercedes car into the grandstand at the pit lane. A total of 82 people were killed, most decapitated by the impact. Many more were injured, making it the worst incident in F1 history.

Organizers of the Bahrain Gran Prix decided to name the first turn in the track after former driver Michael Schumacher, after he was in a skiing accident that left him in a coma.

1. Michelin
   Pirelli
2. Bridgestone
   Firestone

F1 regulations require all teams to use only tires supplied by Pirelli, which offers seven specifications of tires for dry conditions. Each type has a different color on the sidewall, and teams can only have access to three of them during each race, which they select in advance.

When Formula One switched to hybrid engines, it was quite the controversy. Some loudly declared it would be the end of the sport, while others heralded the shift as a sign of how vehicle tech is changing.

   1988 Silverstone Grand Prix
2. 1953 German Grand Prix

With 34 cars lined up at the beginning, no F1 race before or since has been nearly as crowded. The race was held at the legendary Nurburgring Nordschleife, so at least there was room for the cars to spread out.

1. first competition with a woman driver
   first dirt track race
2. first race outside of France or Italy
   first race with Ferraris

Up until this championship race, which took place at Silverstone in the U.K., all F1 races had been in Italy or France. Plenty of other oddities were involved, like a Swiss baron and Thai prince checking in as drivers.

1. bow to the pit crew
   be weighed
2. say please
   have a drink of Gatorade

Weight is a big deal in Formula One, because the drivers and cars are subjected to stringent weight requirements. After a race, the classified finishers are weighed again, just to be on the safe side.

2. European Grand Prix

Arguably, there are a few racing series that could be considered "predecessors" to F1, although most agree the European Grand Prix was the most like it. It was active in the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s, but WWII put an end to competition.

This circuit literally travels on the streets around the Marina Bay. Among the unique elements are almost 1,500 light projectors for nighttime racing conditions. The circuit is a little over three miles long.

In 1962, Lotus created the 25, a revolutionary racecar that had a monocoque chassis made of folded sheets of aluminum. The design was exceptionally strong and lightweight, allowing Jim Clark to rack up 14 wins from behind the wheel.

Renault decided that forced induction was the way to get an edge in competition, although the tech resulted in many problems. Honda and Porsche helped McLaren perfect the design, which led to many victories for the McLaren team.

At just over two miles or 3,337 km, the Monaco Grand Prix has the shortest lap in all of F1. Drivers must go around all those tight turns and deal with the sudden elevation climbs and drops 78 grueling times.

The first race of the season was the Australian Grand Prix on March 25. The other locations are spread around the globe, including a race at the Circuit of Americas on October 21. The final race is set for Abu Dhabi on November 25.

In 1968 Lotus found a creative way to fund the expense of racing in Formula One. It sold advertising space on its cars to Imperial Tobacco, a move other teams copied to help with their finances.

1. automatic lane centering
   traction control
2. electronic engine braking
   variable differential locking

To keep the competition exciting and force drivers to rely more on their skill, FIA decided to ban traction control, electronic engine braking, and variable differential locking for the 2008 season, joining a growing list of banned technologies.

Even though Formula One is a global sport, Americans don't participate in it much, although Haas is from America. Most engine suppliers are from Europe, with Honda being an outlier.

Each year, Formula One holds a championship for drivers, as well as a separate one for constructors. It's a way for both groups to shine in their unique ways.

Vanwall from the U.K. won the first Constructors' Championship with drivers Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks. Cooper, another British constructor, won the following two years, before Ferrari grabbed the championship in 1961.

Chase Carey assumed the role in 2017 when embattled CEO Bernie Ecclestone left the position. He is an Irish-American, which Formula One likes to tout since it's an international organization.

2. Mario Andretti
   Victor VonSpedi

Lewis Hamilton, a driver from the U.K. who was driving for Mercedes, took the top spot by a commanding amount. So far, he has claimed four championships, and many believe he might pass Schumacher's record.

1. Spa-Francorchamps
   Monza
2. Silverstone
   Talladega

Silverstone hosted this momentous occasion, where Nino Farina, a driver from Turin, Italy, claimed victory. Known for his brash, reckless driving style, he excelled past other drivers who had more raw talent. That character trait might have contributed to his death in a car crash in 1966.
