Season summary

Although the engine formula remained the same, minimum race lengths were reduced to 300 kilometres or two hours, and the use of commercial petrol became compulsory, in place of specialized alcohol-based racing fuels. The world championship for constructors was introduced for the first time and went to Vanwall, but Ferrari's Mike Hawthorn won the driver's championship from Stirling Moss with five second places, despite the latter having won four of the ten grand prix to Hawthorn's one. Fangio, the dominant driver of the 1950s and one of the greatest of all time, competed in only two races, retiring after the French Grand Prix. Rear-engined Cooper-Climaxes, entered by the private owner Rob Walker, shocked the establishment by winning two early-season races: Moss, driving for Walker in Argentina because Vanwall had not entered, beat the Ferraris by superior race craft, and Trintignant outlasted the opposition at Monaco. Hawthorn retired with the championship, but died in a road accident in early 1959. Maria Teresa de Filippis became the first woman to drive in a world championship event.

Formula One (1232 words)
Formula One, or Grand Prix racing is the best known single-seater auto racing class, which involves an annual world championship.
In 1958, a world championship for constructors was started as well.
The sport is lesser-known in the United States than either their mostly-domestic open-wheeler racing series (at the moment there are two major ones, IRL and CART) or NASCAR, but in terms of budgets and global TV audiences F1 is bigger than all three.
Online Encyclopedia and Dictionary - Formula One (3772 words)
Formula One, abbreviated to F1 and also known as Grand Prix racing, is a form of formula racing and the highest class of single-seat open-wheel auto racing.
Formula One teams must build the chassis in which they compete, and consequently the terms "team" and "constructor" are interchangeable; this requirement distinguishes the sport from "spec series" such as IRL and NASCAR.
Throughout the 2004 season, Formula One Management president Bernie Ecclestone repeatedly voiced his disapproval of the Silverstone Circuit, and suggested that unless its owners, the British Racing Drivers Club, modernise the facilities, the British Grand Prix would not appear on the 2005 schedule.
