welcome everybody I have some news for you.
Frankfurt, 10 September
The Ferrari 458 Speciale was officially launched this afternoon at
the Frankfurt International Motor Show, by President Luca di Montezemolo
and Managing Director Amedeo Felisa and Vice President Piero Ferrari.
Besides this I wanted to talk about what Formula 1 is. I felt like it is important.
When the French held the first grand prix in 1906, the race organizers, the Automobile Club de France,
couldn't have guessed how big their motor sport would become. That
first race featured 32 cars on a 65-mile course near Le Mans and took
two days to complete. The average speed of the winning car, a Renault driven by Hungarian Ferenc Szisz, was 62.887 mph.
From those humble origins, Formula One racing was born, and over the years, it has grown to be one of the most popular sports in the world. Formula racing refers to a class of motor sport defined by open-wheeled, single-seat race cars.
Open-wheeled cars have their wheels outside of the car's body, unlike
"normal" cars and stock cars, whose wheels are under the fenders. As its
name implies, Formula One is the pinnacle of formula racing, featuring
the best drivers in the most powerful, technically advanced cars. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, or grands prix, held
on circuits across the world. The results of each race are combined to
determine two annual championships: the Formula One World Drivers'
Championship and the Formula One Constructors' Championship. A points system decides the champions for a given season. A driver earns
points based on how he places in each race. The driver with the most
points at the end of the season is crowned champion. a season consists of 15 to 17 races, with the majority of the races concentrated in Europe.Winning in Formula One brings prestige -- and financial rewards. A driver's salary is established by his contract with the team.a driver can earn a bonus -- perhaps $150,000 or so -- for winning a
race. He can also earn a bonus for winning the Driver's Championship. yep.. these were some of the facts about Formula 1 hope you enjoyed see ya all next week ;) bye.
