			'''Formula 1''' is a type of motorsport. Teams compete in a series of [[Grand Prix]] races, held in different countries around the world. Some of the most popular races are held in [[Monaco Grand Prix\|Monaco]], [[Japanese Grand Prix\|Japan]], [[Italian Grand Prix\|Italy]] and [[British Grand Prix\|Britain]]. The cars are very fast. They reach speeds of up to 350 [[Kilometre\|km]]/ hour (220 [[Miles per hour\|mph]]). The championship has been won by many different teams like. They include [[McLaren]], [[Ferrari]] and [[WilliamsF1\|Williams]]. Teams can have as many as 600 people. The teams all come together every race weekend. They use the expertise of each member try to win the race. The winning driver and team each get twenty-five points towards the [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship\|Drivers']] and [[Formula One World Constructors' Championship\|Constructors' Championship]]. Teams consist of drivers, test drivers, a team principal, [[mechanics]], [[Engineering\|engineers]], and [[Designer\|designers]]. Winning a race is affected by a good starting position, strategy, skill in [[Pitstop\|pitstops]] and a fast car.

			The body that runs Formula One, the [[FIA]]. It is based in [[France]]. Although Formula One is a 'billion dollar business', a drop in viewership and attendance figures at races has caused the FIA to make rule changes in recent years. These changes are meant to make the races more interesting, so more people watch F1 on television.

Because of this, there are many safety measures. Drivers wear 4 layers of flameproof overalls. They are made of a fire resistant material called [[Nomex]]. A drivers helmet must be able to resist an 800 [[Celsius\|°C]] flame for at least 45 seconds. They must also resist large [[G-Force\|G forces]]. The helmets are very strong. They can be driven over by trucks with no damage being done to them.

			== Cars ==
			[[Carbon fiber\|Carbon fibre]] is the ideal material for the body of Formula One cars. It is light and strong. Because of this, the cars are very expensive to build and repair. The design of cars differs from team to team. Each team has two entries into the championship. This means that each team must built and maintain two cars . F1 currently uses [[Pirelli]] [[Tire\|tires]] Differing weather conditions need different tires. Wet weather driving is considered a skill in Formula One.
