History and Evolution F1's roots trace back to pre-World War II Grand Prix motor racing. The first official World Championship race took place at Silverstone, England, on May 13, 1950. Giuseppe Farina won the inaugural season driving for Alfa Romeo, but it was Juan Manuel Fangio, with five titles in the 1950s, who became the first F1 legend. Over the decades, F1 has evolved significantly. Initially, cars were rudimentary, with front engines and basic aerodynamics. Today, they are marvels of engineering, featuring hybrid power units, advanced aerodynamics, and unparalleled safety standards. The Teams and Drivers F1 teams are a mix of automobile manufacturers like Ferrari, Mercedes, and Aston Martin, and independent racing outfits such as Red Bull Racing. The drivers, often hailed as some of the best in the world, compete not only for the Driver's Championship but also to secure points for their teams in the Constructor's Championship. Legends like Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton have etched their names in F1 history. Hamilton and Schumacher share the record for the most World Championships (7), while newer talents like Max Verstappen continue to dominate the modern era. F1 Today Modern F1 is characterized by a mix of tradition and innovation. The current format includes a series of Grands Prix held worldwide, from iconic circuits like Monaco and Silverstone to newer venues in the Middle East and Asia. The introduction of hybrid power units in 2014 marked a shift towards sustainability, and recent efforts like the "Net Zero Carbon" initiative aim to make F1 more environmentally friendly. F1's popularity has also skyrocketed thanks to media like Netflix's Drive to Survive, which provides behind-the-scenes insights into the drama and rivalries within the sport. The Future of F1 As F1 moves into a new era, regulations focusing on cost caps and car designs aim to level the playing field and enhance competition. The 2026 season will see a new generation of power units emphasizing sustainability while maintaining performance. Formula 1 remains a spectacle of speed, strategy, and innovation, solidifying its position as the pinnacle of motorsport. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking

Txt LDS to 21002 New track-only BMW 2 Series wants to bring racing to the people: View the 3 images of this gallery on the original article The entry point into BMW's range of M-branded coupes will soon become an attractive entry point into the world of racing. The German brand previewed a track-only evolution of the 2 Series that will bundle race-ready equipment into a relatively affordable package. BMW M Motorsport is currently developing the car, whose name hasn't been publicly announced yet. However, since M is involved the model will most likely land as an evolution of the M240i or as an evolution of the M2. It doesn't sound like the 230i, which is the cheapest version in the range, has received clearance to go racing. While this is pure speculation, the muscular body kit strongly hints at M2 roots. If we want to push the speculation to the next level, it's perhaps telling to point out that the next M2 CS is allegedly right around the corner. What's certain is that the upcoming coupe will be marketed as a followup to the M235i Racing, the M240i Racing, and the M2 CS Racing. Beyond the M2-like front end, we spot a carbon fiber roof panel, a bigger rear spoiler, a roll cage, and an OMP racing seat for the driver. As for what will be under the hood, your guess is as good as ours. We're betting that the engine won't be significantly different than the one that powers the street-legal, regular-production model — don't expect to find a twin-turbocharged V8 between the punched-out front wheel arches. BMW might make tuning changes to ensure the 2 complies with the rules of a given race series, however. Like its predecessors, the coupe will likely receive a handful of specific parts in the braking system and the suspension system to post the quickest possible lap times. "Proximity to our customers is one of the maxims we pursue at BMW M Motorsport. From our point of view, this also includes offering a car for grassroots racing that teams and newcomers to racing can afford and that at the same time offers them BMW M Motorsport technology at the highest level," explained Björn Lellmann, the head of customer racing for BMW M Motorsport, in a statement. More details about BMW's next track-going 2 Series will emerge in the coming months, and the coupe will make its racing debut in 2026. http://dlvr.it/TDV93z www.CarsBuyText.com #cartalk #Cars #carsofinstagram

How F1 strategy "headache" opens up intriguing Japanese GP https://lnkd.in/eSV6c6GZ Formula 1 is braced for one of those rare occasions in Japan where tyre strategy has been blown wide open by all three compounds being good options. Teams all too frequently bin off one of the choices – either because the soft is too aggressive, the medium falls into no-man's land, or the hard is too conservative – but this weekend's race in Japan has left what Pirelli's head of car racing Mario Isola says is a real "headache" for strategists. With high-degradation Suzuka making a one-stop pretty much a no-goer (unless we end up with a lengthy safety car period at the perfect point), F1 teams are going to be burning the midnight oil tonight trying to work out how best to plot their way through the various soft/medium/hard combinations that are in play. The cooler-than-usual temperatures of an April Suzuka race mean that the soft tyre – which is comfortably quicker than the medium – has enough life in it to become an option for the race – while a rougher track surface has kept degradation high for the other compounds. And with the medium and the hard not being too far apart in terms of their performance, things appear to be much more open than they usually are. The most logical and safest route is to run a medium/hard/hard, as those two compounds have offered the best consistency so far during the limited practice running. But, as Isola explains, the soft has thrown a spanner in the works because it could deliver a pretty significant advantage if it is used at the start. "The soft is 1-1.2 seconds per second quicker than the medium," he said. "And that means that if you want to get the advantage at the start of the race with a compound that is giving you a lot more grip, you take it. "Sure you have a shorter first stint, around 10 laps, but then you can plan a strategy with the soft/hard/hard - especially with a powerful undercut." But this combination is not an option that all the teams can run to, with allocation choices already leaving Red Bull, Ferrari and Aston Martin with only one hard available for the race. That means the medium has to come into play for them, and degradation could need to be managed more, especially if the track is made greener on Sunday morning with light showers expected to sweep through Suzuka (...). #formula 1 #F1 #tyre #tire #motorsport

F1 race in Yaba market? I enjoy following the F1 race update, most especially the series release on Netflix, I’m still watching the season 6 and it always thrills me- the fun, passion, competition and “better chances” I mean if we choose to not use “lose or failure” 🤷🏽♂️ I think we can relate it to the market place really, for example, we can see “Aston Martin F1 Team when they announced their entry, it was interesting and bold, I mean, they’ve been below the table for a while and after a nice holiday, they’re making a statement to compete with the big dogs- we would imagine that’s insane but they did and this was because, they had good cars, excellent engineers, excellent drivers, and a great team. Also, we can see “Williams Racing coming in with drive, “Haas” being “Haas”, and Mercedes-Benz AG going through their struggle to the top- these are some of the gist but I’ll drive my key focus now. To really participate and achieve success, it’s always having an excellent mix between the cars (your product), data (analytics and insights), drivers (the ground team), engineers (people who interpret the data to drive and implement corrective, improvement and preventive actions ), competitors (it gives insights into what’s achievable, who would have thought Aston Martin F1 Team, Williams Racing will get to the top someday, or Mercedes will drop from world champions to fighting for 5th place), and your systems (management policy, the hard decision, finance, selecting team, motivation, and all that). The mix is always very important really and I hope to watch the F1 race live someday. Beesline came into the market last year June and it was interesting how we had ups and downs, highly competitive market, driving through market conditions and settling to having one of the top 3 viral sunscreens in the market, the day gel SPF30- We are working to get the mix right, and it’s interesting how much learning we can get from things that absolutely have no concerns whatsoever to our day to day activities. I’m rooting for Mercedes to find its way back to the top, rooting for Williams team as well, and cheers to Aston Martin F1 Team, anything is possible with an excellent mix 👏❤️
