Formula One, also known as Formula 1 or F1, and currently officially referred to as the
FIA Formula One World Championship, is the highest class of auto racing
sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The "formula" in
the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants' cars must comply. The F1
season consists of a series of races, known as Grand Prix, held on purpose-built
circuits, and to a lesser extent, former public roads and closed city streets. The
results of each race are combined to determine two annual World Championships,
one for the drivers and one for the constructors, with racing drivers, constructor
teams, track officials, organizers, and circuits required to be holders of valid Super
Licenses, the highest class racing license issued by the FIA.
The Formula One series has its roots in the European Grand Prix Motor Racing of the 1920s and 1930s.
The "formula" is a set of rules which all participants and cars must meet. Formula One was a new
formula agreed after World War II in 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that
year. A number of Grand Prix racing organizations had laid out rules for a World Championship
before the war, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World Drivers'
Championship was not formalized until 1947. The first world championship race was held at
Silverstone, United Kingdom in 1950. A championship for constructors followed in 1958. National
championships existed in South Africa and the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. Non-championship
Formula One events were held for many years but, due to the rising cost of competition, the last of
these occurred in 1983.
The sport's title, Formula One, indicates it is intended to be the most advanced and most competitive of
the FIA's racing formulae.

THANK YOU
Vitaly Petrov
Vitaly Aleksandrovich Petrov was born September 8, 1984 in Vyborg is
a Russian Formula One driver for the Renault F1 team. He is known
as "Vyborg Rocket" in Russia. By competing in the 2010 Bahrain
Grand Prix, he is the first Russian driver to take part in the Formula
One World Championship. He currently resides in Valencia, Spain.
Petrov was linked to joining Sauber, Renault F1 and Campos for the 2010
season. He was announced as a Renault driver on 31 January and
thus he has become the first Russian driver in the Formula One
World Championship (Igor Troubetzkoy raced a Ferrari Formula One
car in 1948). He has been signed for a one-year deal, with an option
for a further two. He was very close to signing for Campos but he
felt Renault was the best option for him. He also mentioned that he
had no major sponsors from Russia backing him just his dad and
some of his friends. Petrov states that his goal is to start scoring
points by mid-season. His teammate for his debut season will be
Robert Kubica. After qualifying seventeenth, Petrov's first race
ended prematurely when the team found his right-front suspension
strut to be damaged, which the Russian suspected to have been
caused by hitting a kerb too hard. He had been chasing Rubens
Barrichello for tenth place and a World Championship point at the
time of the incident.
He finished his first race at the Chinese Grand Prix, and in doing so,
scored his first F1 points, as he finished in seventh position.
Michael Schumacher
Michael Schumacher was born 3 January 1969 is a Formula One racing driver,
currently driving for Mercedes GP. He is a seven-time World Champion and
according to the official Formula One website is "statistically the greatest
driver the sport has ever seen“ he holds many of the formula's driver records,
including most championships, race victories, fastest laps, pole positions,
points scored and most races won in a single season – 2004. In 2002 he
became the only driver in the sport to complete an entire season finishing
1st, 2nd or 3rd in all races.
After beginning with go-karts, Schumacher won German drivers championships in
Formula König and Formula Three, before joining Mercedes in the World
Sportscar Championship. After one Mercedes-funded race for the Jordan
Formula One team, Schumacher signed as a driver for the Benetton Formula
One team in 1991. After winning consecutive championships with Benetton
in 1994/5, Schumacher moved to Ferrari in 1996 and won another five
consecutive drivers' titles with them from 2000–2004. Schumacher retired
from Formula One driving in 2006, staying with Ferrari as an advisor. After an
aborted attempted comeback for Ferrari as cover for the injured Felipe
Massa, Schumacher signed a 3 year contract to drive for the new Mercedes
GP team in 2009.
Schumacher is the only German to have won the Formula One championship.
Off the track, Schumacher is an ambassador for UNESCO and a spokesman for
driver safety. He has been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts
throughout his life and donated tens of millions of dollars to charity. Michael
and his younger brother Ralf Schumacher are the only brothers to win races
in Formula One, and they were the first brothers to finish 1st and 2nd in the
same race, in Montreal in 2001, and again in 2003.
Jenson Button
Jenson Alexander Lyons Button was born 19 January 1980 is a
British Formula One driver currently signed to McLaren
Mercedes, and is the reigning Formula One World Drivers'
Champion.
He first drove in Formula One in the 2000 season, with the
Williams team, switching in 2001 to Benetton, which in 2002
became Renault F1. After two years with the Enstone-based
squad, he moved to BAR in 2003. They were subsequently
renamed Honda for the 2006 season, during which Button
won his first Grand Prix in Hungary, on 6 August 2006, after
113 races.
Following the withdrawal of Honda from the sport in December
2008, he was left without a drive for the 2009 season, until
Ross Brawn led a management buyout of the team in February
2009, and Button suddenly found himself in a highly
competitive, Mercedes-engined car. He went on to win six of
the first seven races of the 2009 season, equaling a record
achieved by only two other drivers: Michael Schumacher and
Jim Clark. At the Brazilian Grand Prix, he amassed enough
points over his rivals to secure the 2009 World Drivers'
Championship, while also helping Brawn GP to secure the
World Constructors' Championship in its maiden season.
