During the 1960’s and 70’s national championships existed in South Africa and the UK, with non-championship Formula One events being held through that period right up to the last race in 1983.į1 has become the worlds premiere racing series, featuring advanced technology, huge budgets, elite drivers and fast lap times.
It wasn’t until 1950 that the first world championship race was held in the United Kingdom at Silverstone, with the championship for constructors first taking place in 1958. The rules for a world championship had been laid out before the war, and was not formalised until 1947. The first non-championship races were held that year. in 1946 after World War II, a new formula was agreed upon, which was a new set of rules that all participants’ cars would adhere to. Seventeen points adrift in the standings after two races might concern a championship novice, but Hamilton - provided he can sort out his starts, is probably right to be feeling "pretty chilled".The origins of Formula One lie in the European Grand Prix Motor Racing competition from the 1920’s and 30’s.
From there, Hamilton recovered well, and although Mercedes' attempts to try something different at the first and final stops didn't pay off, the Briton kept Raikkonen honest before the Ferrari pulled away in the final stint. Whereas wheelspin was the culprit in Australia, Hamilton admitted his own reactions could've been sharper at the lights in the desert - although he was still on Rosberg's tail into Turn One before an over-eager Valtteri Bottas looked for a gap that was always going to close. Unbeaten on Saturdays, but undone on Sundays by back-to-back poor starts. Now, you could accuse the Briton of lacking originality in his post-session soundbites after qualifying and the race respectively, but they are apt descriptions of his season so far. The start to Lewis Hamilton's attempt to become Britain's first quadruple world champion can be summed up by two phrases - "sexy laps" and "damage limitation". Lewis Hamilton is glad that he could complete the Bahrain GP in 3rd place following his Turn One collision with Bottas.
