History of F1

We all used to watch Formula One (F1) directly or via broadcast TV. But have you ever terfikirkan History of Formula One?
Here I will describe the origins of F1

Formula 1 is a set of technical rules for the single seat car racing (single seater) which was announced by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the highest institution in charge of any kind of motor sports. These rules are made yearly and explain in detail the size and minimize the maximum machine capacity, technical rules, and rules of racers and spectators safety. Cars are built with this rule called a Formula 1 car and race car is called the Formula 1 racing car. other than that there is another class of the FIA ​​specifications, such as F-3 and F-3000. But Formula 1 is the highest level of competition contained in the motor sports world.
Any racer who took part in Formula 1 competition, either as primary or backup drivers are required to have a super license, a sign of entry for prospective Formula 1 FIA issued. To become a candidate drivers are required to drive a Formula 1 car along the 300 km and was witnessed by representatives of the FIA. If they judge that the driver is eligible to race in Formula 1, FIA super license and will give the rider free to follow the Formula 1 race.
Since the engine with gasoline fuel was introduced Nikolaus Otto in 1876, the dynamics rapidly follow human lifestyles. One of them, the desire to compete. History records that in 1894, the race between the city of Paris to Rouen became the forerunner of F1 racing. At that time the car could be carrying more than one. Not as restrictive as the rules now, there are even events for lunch. Almost the entire distance intercity competition was held. The streets were dirty, dusty and no facilities at all. The participants came from several countries. John Gordon Bennett, a British newspaper king was recorded as the first person to mempeloporinya. Circuit takes the closed public roads. Since then, the number of closed-circuit that was built more and more popping up in Europe. Car manufacturers who participate are also not only Peugeot and Panhard. Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and Auto Union in the early decades of jazz 30s.
Racing engine technology have also increased. Starting Prof. Ferdinand Porsche, Auto Union chief designer, who created the 4400 cc engine powered 295 dk. Mercedes joined reacted with 4700 cc engine capable of 470 horsepower. Auto Union to increase the capacity to 6,000 cc engine capable of producing 520 hp power. Peak in 1937 when Mercedes released the W125. This 8-cylinder engine capacity reached 5600 cc and produces 580 hp power. Supercharger as an energy booster component is prevalent. The continuation of this race was stopped during the World War I and II. New on May 13, 1950 the official F1 racing held at Silverstone, England. The competition was opened King George VI and Princess Elizabeth. In this race also introduced the term Grand Prix.
The first race was followed 21 participants with a single-seater vehicle front wheels. Although equipped with a supercharger, the car is still difficult to control on the track. Legendary racer that came up was Juan Manuel Fangio. He won several championships using Alfa Romeo, Mercedes, Ferrari and Ferrari Maserati.Di this year also as a manufacturer from Italy, made history. The drivers Ascari, Fangio and Hawthorn managed to attract public attention by winning several Grand Prix in the range 1952-1958.
Changes began to appear in the 1960's. One turn of the motion of the rear wheels. This change also made gains in the lower center of gravity. Consequently the driver's position becomes more horizontal. Colin Champman monokok chassis introduced in 1963 in a car 25/33. This vehicle also had dominated some races with drivers Jim Clark.
Like the previous era, the 1970s was marked by revolutionary technological advances racing. Recorded at least three new innovations in this field. That is a revolution in aerodynamics, turbo device and aerodynamic silhouette sasis.Peran received attention in the summer of 1968. The role of guiding the machine the ability of the prime form of the chassis. Ferrari when it pioneered the use of wings (wing) in car 312 pacuannya. This is a significant change since the previous entire F1 car shaped like a cigar. With these revolutionary aerodynamics, the car hit the asphalt grow despite moving at high speed and was in the corner. Plus the bottom of the chassis is formed in such a way as to be capable of flowing air over this decade lancar.Pada Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda emerged as ruler. Both succeeded in making F1 racing world population increasingly popular. Evidently the sponsor race in the race to promote the event.
Stepping into the 1980's, growing tech turbo engine. If in 1977, Renault is able to achieve a power of 500 hp, 4-cylinder BMW engines in 1985 capable of producing 1200 horsepower. With this addition to be world champion Nelson Piquet 1985 with Brabham BT54.Kecelakaan that killed Gilles Villeneuve in 1982 marked the dangers of an F1 race. Physical and mental demands of the prime is a non-negotiable bargaining again. Professional racers have more disiplin.Keadaan does not make drivers shriveled balls. Proven in the 1980s appeared a new legend Ayrton Senna. Brazilian racing driver later became a symbol of the resurrection of Modern F1 driver. Unfortunately, a fatal accident had taken his life at Tamburello corner, Imola in 1994.
F1 racing is increasingly popular, making the world championship as a symbol of world auto racing. The racers become world leaders and celebrities have millions of fans. Michael Schumacher deserve to be a symbol of the era of the 1990s. Along with the interest of the world, land racing became a central concern. Economic and financial activities involved in it. The emergence of the team's top team strengths can be used as an indicator.
In the third millennium, racing technology a step further. Aerodynamics received much attention. But the main use of the electronic components increasingly vital role. Including by way of adopting the technology space.
