Every driver 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 drivers who issued the FIA Formula 1. To get a prospective drivers are required to drive a Formula 1 car 300 kilometers and was witnessed by representatives from the FIA. If they judge that the drivers are eligible to compete in Formula 1, FIA will give the super license and the driver free to follow the Formula 1 race.
Since Nikolaus Otto gasoline engine was introduced in 1876, the dynamics are very rapidly following the human lifestyle. One of them, the desire to compete. History records in 1894, the race between the city of Paris to Rouen became the forerunners of F1 racing. At that time the car could be carrying more than one. Not as restrictive as the rules now, even there was a program for lunch. Almost the entire distance intercity competition was held. The road was dirty, dusty and with no facilities whatsoever. Participants came from several countries. John Gordon Bennett, a king of England newspaper noted as the first person mempeloporinya. Circuit takes the closed public roads. Since then, the number of closed circuit which was built more and more popping up in Europe. Car manufacturers that participate are also not just Peugeot and Panhard. Mercedes-Benz, Bugatti, Maserati, Alfa Romeo Auto Union and brisk in the early decades of the 30s.
Racing engine technology is also increasing. Starting Prof. Ferdinand Porsche, Auto Union chief designer, who created the 4400 cc engine-powered 295 hp. Mercedes participate react with 4700-cc engine capable of 470 hp. Auto Union to add capacity to 6000 cc engine capable of producing 520 hp power. Peak in 1937 when Mercedes released the W125. 8 cylinder engine capacity reached 5600 cc and produces 580 hp power. Supercharger as an energy booster component is prevalent. Continuation of this race was stopped when the world war I and II. New on May 13, 1950 the official F1 race held at Silverstone, England. The competition is opened King George VI and Princess Elizabeth. In this race also the term Grand Prix was introduced.
The first race was followed 21 participants with single seater vehicle front wheel motion. Though equipped with a supercharger, the car is still difficult to control on the track. Drivers who appear are legendary Juan Manuel Fangio. He won several championships wearing Alfa Romeo, Mercedes, Ferrari and Ferrari Maserati.Di this year as well as the Italian manufacturer, incised history. Drivers Ascari, Fangio and Hawthorn managed to attract public attention by winning a GP in the range 1952-1958.
The changes began to emerge in the era of the 1960s. One was the turn of the rear wheel motion. These changes also make a profit at the point of gravity is lower. 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 the race with some drivers Jim Clark.
Like the previous era, the decade of the 1970s was marked by progress revolutionary racing technology. Recorded at least three new innovations in this field. That is revolutionary aerodynamics, turbo devices and aerodynamic silhouettes sasis.Peran started getting attention in the summer of 1968. The role of guiding the machine chassis forms an excellent ability. When that Ferrari pioneered the use of the wing (wing) in the car pacuannya 312. This is a significant change because previously the entire F1 car shaped like a cigar. With this revolutionary aerodynamics, power press and the car to the asphalt increases, although moving at high speed and was in the corner. Plus the bottom of the chassis is formed in such a way as to be able to draw air over the decade lancar.Pada Jackie Stewart and Niki Lauda emerged as ruler. Both managed to make F1 more popular with the world's population. Proven race sponsors contest to promote the event.
Stepping into the 1980's, turbo engine technology developed further. If in 1977 the Renault able to achieve the power of 500 hp, 4-cylinder BMW engines in 1985 capable of producing 1200 hp. With this addition became world champion Nelson Piquet Brabham 1985 with BT54.Kecelakaan that killed Gilles Villeneuve in 1982 marked the dangers of an F1 race. Physical and mental demands of the prime is non-negotiable things fresh 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 was later to become a symbol of the resurrection of the Modern F1 racer. Unfortunately, a fatal accident that took his life at Tamburello corner, Imola in 1994.
In the third millennium, racing technology a step further. Aerodynamics received much attention. But the main use of electronic components increasingly vital role. Including by adopting the technology space.
