I wasn't able to edit the "Abortion" page, which I chose for the previous assignment, thus I am now doing the "Formula 1" page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One

History

[edit]

The Formula One series originated with the European Grand Prix Motor Racing (q.v. for pre-1947 history) of the 1920s and 1930s. The formula is a set of rules that all participants' cars must meet. Formula One was a new formula agreed upon after World War II during 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that year. A number of Grand Prix racing organisations had laid out rules for a world championship before the war, but due to the suspension of racing during the conflict, the World Drivers' Championship was not formalised until 1947. The first world championship race was held at Silverstone, United Kingdom in 1950. A championship for constructors followed in 1958. National championships existed in South Africa and the UK in the 1960s and 1970s. Non-championship Formula One events were held for many years, but due to the increasing cost of competition, the last of these occurred in 1983.[1] copied from Formula One

In between of "Return of Racing" and the "Garagistas", I would like the following paragraph

British Dominance

[edit]

An era of British dominance was ushered in by Mike Hawthorn's championship win in 1958, although Stirling Moss had been at the forefront of the sport without ever securing the world title. Between Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, John Surtees, Jack Brabham, Graham Hill, and Denny Hulme, British and Commonwealth drivers won nine drivers' championships and British teams won ten constructors' titles between 1962 and 1973. The iconic British Racing Green Lotus, with a revolutionary aluminum-sheet monocoque chassis instead of the traditional space-frame design, was the dominant car, and in 1968 the team broke new boundaries when they were the first to carry advertising on their cars.

The second change is replacing/updating the paragraphs in "Tyre Rules", which is under racing and strategy

Tyre rules

[edit]

The new rule for F1 tyre in 2016 is that the regulations would allow Pirelli to select three different tyre for each race, and each team could choose the tyre from those three depending on the strategies. This concept would continue in 2017 but with Pirelli's thicker and wider tyres that tested extensively last year.
