Who can tell me the development history of F 1?

The first official competition of F 1 was 1950 British Silverstone Grand Prix. At that time, the British royal family personally watched the race, and Italian driver Giuseppe Farina won the first championship of F 1. At the same time, he was also the driver champion of that year, that is, the first driver champion in F 1 history.

195 1, F 1 A real car king, Juan Manuel Fangio, an Argentine driver, won the drivers' championship five times (195 1, 54-57). Incredibly, he didn't join Formula One until he was 38!

1958, Cooper-Climax racing car first adopted the design of rear engine, which was a technological revolution in the history of F 1. The picture shows sterling moss driving a Cooper car with a rear engine.

In the 1958 race after the car king Fang Gio, several British drivers competed in groups. Before the end of the year, all four drivers were British drivers, including Mike Hawthorne and Stirling Moss. In addition, the "year-end team champion" was also established at 1958 and F 1.

In short, no matter how bumpy the road is, F 1 in the 1950s no longer belongs to the early motor racing, and it began to make great strides by adopting Formula One, a competition rule specially formulated by the FIA.

The 1960s was an important turning point for F 1 to break away from childishness.

First of all, in terms of technology, in just two years, the rear engine has been widely used by various teams. At this time, Cooper's rear engine technology was very mature, and he won the drivers' championship and team championship in 1959 and 60 years. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the whole 1960s, except for Ferrari's two drivers' championships, was almost the era of British teams and British drivers. The motorcade includes BRM, Lotus and Braham Repko, with drivers including Clark, Graham Hill, Jesse Stewart and john surtees. Among them, john surtees is a man who won both the F 1 World Championship and the Motorcycle World Championship.

Colin Chapman's design talent has gradually made the Lotus Team a dream team. Lotus Team 1967 first used a two-seat four-valve engine (DFV engine) and later dominated the whole 1970s. In addition, in the 1960s, Lotus Team was also in a leading position in aerodynamics, and the current downforce theory was established from then on.

In the 1960s, accidents in competitions began to increase. In this regard, let's take a look at jim clark, two world champions in the 1960s. 1960, he was driving a racing car with the blood of an English driver, who died on the spot while crossing the end of the hot spring. At the Italian Grand Prix of 196 1, he collided with Trips (German, Ferrari), causing Ferrari to crash into the crowd, and Trips and 14 spectators died. 1968, the undisputed world champion died in a practice match in Hockenheim. All this makes people fundamentally question the sport F 1 and causes a lot of thinking.

Similarly, in 1968, Lotus Racing advertised gold leaf cigarettes, which was the first time in F 1 history that commercial sponsorship was introduced. Please refer to the photo of lotus above.

In 1970s, F 1 gradually matured.

First of all, a series of rail accidents in the 1970s made safety issues extremely important.

Jochen Rindt, the driver champion of 1970, is the only world champion after death in the history of F 1. In addition, at 1973, Jackie Stewart decided to take his 100 Grand Prix Watkins Canyon as his farewell race, because he couldn't bear to see more track tragedies. But it seems that Francois Cevert died in the practice session of this grand prix. So Stuart led the first "security revolution" in F 1 history.

This safety revolution makes the racing car, track and driver's equipment of F 1 re-examine, demonstrate and improve from the safety point of view. In people's eyes, Jackie Stewart not only won three drivers' championships, but more importantly, he brought safety awareness to F 1.

Another great event in the 1970s began with james hunter, the world champion in the 1960s. James began to attract the world's attention with his playboy style. F 1 began to attract the attention of the world media. Since then, the famous drivers of F 1 have also become the stars in the spotlight.

I have to mention Mr. bernie ecclestone, the current head of F 1, because it was he who negotiated with the TV media about the broadcast of F 1 and personally implemented all the details, thus sending the live pictures of F 1 to thousands of households. Bernie introduced TV broadcasting into F 1, which undoubtedly injected new vitality into the development of F 1 and its commercial operation gradually matured.

Technically, in 1977, F 1 has another technological innovation. Renault introduced a turbocharged engine. In F 1, turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines coexisted for hegemony until 1988 banned turbocharged engines.

The 1980s-the fiercest competition

The 1980s of F 1 was an unprecedented era of great drivers, including Brazilian Nelson Pequet, ayrton senna, Frenchman alain prost and Englishman nigel mansell. They had the fiercest struggle. The game is wonderful.

As for the team, McLaren, driven by Prost and Senna, won five drivers' championships and four team championships in the 1980s. Especially in Senna's first drivers' championship year 1988, McLaren won the 15 championship in 16 races! Ferrari won the Monza Grand Prix with 1988. Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the team, died just a few weeks ago.

Post-90s-Modern F 1

In 1990s, F 1 was a period of rapid development of science and technology. 1993, Prost's last driver's championship year, and his Williams-Renault car is the most advanced car in F 1 history. The racing car is equipped with tire anti-lock braking system, tracking control system and electronically controlled suspension system.

However, the death of 1994 Senna triggered the second "security revolution" of F 1. The FIA banned the above driver assistance system to improve the speed, and the F 1 car returned to its original basic structure. After Senna's death, the FIA's annual safety assessment project began. In the future, FIA rules will attach great importance to safety, and many rules will be formulated to reduce the speed. According to 1999, four grooves were added to the dry tire, thus reducing the tire grip. In addition, scientific research and development to improve safety has also achieved results. The driver's head and neck protection system (HANS) is an example. This system has been used since the 2003 season, and it has been well received by drivers and teams, and in fact it has played a great role.

After Senna left, German driver michael schumacher gradually became the new car king of F 1. He won the first world championship in the fourth year (1994) when he joined F 1. 1995 successfully defended Renault. 1996 switched to Ferrari in poor condition, and finally won the world championship for Ferrari in 2000 after a lapse of 2 1 year. The red chariot once again began its legendary record. Today, Schumacher has won five world championships, and the number of races has reached 64, exceeding the record of previous drivers. Every victory since then is tantamount to rewriting the history of F 1.

Throughout the 50 years of F 1, wisdom, courage, calmness, persistence, challenge, passion, dreams, success and failure are intertwined. The joy, disappointment, competition and devotion on the track attract people's attention. The charm and danger of F 1 are its eternal contradictions. ...
