Formula One (F1) is the highest class of worldwideracing foropen-wheel, single-seater formularacing cars sanctioned by theFédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). TheFIA Formula One World Championship has been one of the world's premier forms ofmotorsport since itsinaugural running in 1950 and is often considered to be the pinnacle of motorsport. The wordformula in the name refers tothe set of rules all participant cars must follow. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known asGrands Prix. Grands Prix take place in multiple countries and continents on either purpose-builtcircuits or closed roads.

Apoints scoring system is used at Grands Prix to determine two annual World Championships:one for the drivers, andone for the constructors—now synonymous with teams. Each driver must hold a validSuper Licence, the highest class of racing licence the FIA issues, and the races must be held onGrade One tracks, the highest grade rating the FIA issues for tracks.

Formula One cars are the world's fastest regulatedroad-course racing cars, owing to high cornering speeds achieved by generating large amounts of aerodynamicdownforce, most of which is generated by front and rear wings, as well asunderbody tunnels. The cars depend on electronics,aerodynamics,suspension, andtyres.Traction control,launch control,automatic shifting, and otherelectronic driving aids were first banned in1994. They were briefly reintroduced in2001 but were banned once more in2004 and later2008. (Full article...)

Forti Corse, commonly known asForti, was an Italianmotor racing team chiefly known for its brief and unsuccessful involvement inFormula One in the mid-1990s. It was established in the late 1970s and competed in lower formulae for two decades. The team's successes during this period included four Drivers' Championships inItalian Formula Three during the 1980s, and race wins in theInternational Formula 3000 championship, in which it competed from1987 to1994. From 1992, team co-founderGuido Forti developed a relationship with the wealthyBrazilian businessmanAbílio dos Santos Diniz that gave Diniz's racing driver son,Pedro, a permanent seat in the team and the outfit a sufficiently high budget to consider entering Formula One.

Forti graduated to Formula One as aconstructor and entrant in1995, but its first car—theForti FG01—proved to be uncompetitive, and the team failed to score apoint. Despite this setback, Forti was committed to a three-year deal with Diniz, which was broken when Pedro moved to theLigier team prior to the1996 season, taking most of the team's sponsorship money with him. Nevertheless, Forti continued to compete in the sport, and produced the much-improvedFG03 chassis, before succumbing to financial problems mid-season after an ultimately fruitless deal with a mysterious entity known asShannon Racing. The team competed in a total of 27 Grands Prix, scoring no points, and is recognised as one of the last trulyprivateer teams to race in an era when many largecar manufacturers were increasing their involvement in the sport.

Super Monaco GP is aFormula One racing simulation video game released bySega, originally as aSega X Board arcade game in 1989, followed byports for multiplevideo game consoles andhome computers in the early 1990s. It is the sequel to the 1979 arcade gameMonaco GP. The arcade game consists of one race, theMonaco Grand Prix, but later ports added more courses and game modes based on the1989 Formula One World Championship.

The original concept forSuper Monaco GP came fromHisao Oguchi, who was at the time a game planner with Sega. The arcade game contained parodies of actual brands that were sponsors in Formula One, which led to a lawsuit fromPhilip Morris over advertising oftobacco products. Shortly after the arcade game launch,Super Monaco GP was ported to Sega's video game consoles, theGenesis,Game Gear, andMaster System. British developerU.S. Gold published ports forhome computers.

Sebastian Vettel became a three-time World Champion withRed Bull Racing.

The2012 FIA Formula One World Championship was the 66th season ofFIA Formula One motor racing. It featured the 63rd FIA Formula One World Championship, amotor racing series forFormula One cars, recognised by theFédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) – the governing body of motorsport – as the highest class of competition foropen-wheel racing cars. The championship was contested over twenty rounds, which started inAustralia on 18 March and ended inBrazil on 25 November. The 2012 season saw the return of theUnited States Grand Prix, which was held at theCircuit of the Americas, a purpose-built circuit inAustin, Texas. After beingcancelled in 2011 due tocivil protests, theBahrain Grand Prix also returned to the calendar.

The early season was tumultuous, with seven different drivers winning the first seven races of the championship; a record for the series. It was not until theEuropean Grand Prix in June that a driver,Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, won his second race of the year, and with it, emerged as a championship contender. Alonso maintained his hold on the championship lead for the next seven races, taking his third win inGermany and finishing on the podium in theUnited Kingdom,Italy andSingapore. However, costly first-lap retirements inBelgium andJapan allowed his rivals to catch up, and defendingWorld Champion Sebastian Vettel – like Alonso, a two-time title winner – took the lead in thesixteenth race of the season. Vettel, too, encountered difficulties throughout the season; contact with a backmarker left him to finish outside the points inMalaysia, whilealternator failures at the European and Italian Grands Prix cost him valuable points and exclusion from qualifying inAbu Dhabi led him to start from the pit lane. Vettel enteredthe final race of the season with a thirteen-point lead over Alonso. Alonso needed a podium finish to stand any chance of becomingWorld Drivers' Champion, but in a race of attrition that finished under the safety car, Vettel finished in sixth place, scoring enough points to win his third consecutive championship, becoming just the third driver in the sport's sixty-three-year history to do so. In theWorld Constructors' Championship,Red Bull Racing secured their third consecutive title when Sebastian Vettel finished second at theUnited States Grand Prix. (Full article...)

SomeScuderia Ferrari Formula One cars from between 1950 and 2002

Formula One automobile racing has its roots in the EuropeanGrand Prix championships of the 1920s and 1930s, though the foundation of the modern Formula One began in 1946 with theFédération Internationale de l'Automobile's (FIA) standardisation of rules, which was followed by a World Championship of Drivers in 1950.
