A brief history of F-1 (Part-1).
Okay, let’s get revved up. In this post, i will try to establish what Formula-1 actually is by answering some basic but yet integral questions.
Why is it called “Formula” -one ?
The term “Formula” in Formula 1 essentially refers to a set of regulations that govern any of several forms of single-seater open wheeled motor sports. Typical regulations that are specified include:-
Restrictions on the type of chassis to be made
Restrictions on the type of engine to be used, essentially limits on the maximum engine displacement
Restrictions on the gearbox to be used
Other competition specific regulations, specifically conduct rules such as refueling rules, pit stop rules etc.
Restrictions are generally not put on suspension, braking, steering and aerodynamics and the teams are generally free to do whatever they want in these fields. All of these regulations make up the “FORMULA”
Is there a formula- two ?
Yup, not only formula two, but formula three as well ( These are most popular ones,but many more do exist). The distinction of these is based on the ‘Formula’ that govern it. Formula 1 consists of the best performing cars (in terms of power and max. velocity) and followed by Formula 2 and 3. And hence the chronological placement of numbers 1,2 and 3.
What is a Grand Prix?
Grand Prix is any of a series of motor-racing or motorcycling contests forming part of a world championship series, held in various countries under international rules.
The first race to be given the title “Grand Prix” was held at Le Mans in 1906. It was restricted to “big cars”, which could be described as the “Formula One” cars of the period. From then on, the term Grand Prix became associated with major circuit races for cars. Top events, which were the equivalent of today’s Grands Prix, were called “Grandes Epreuves” (Great Events). However, the FIA was opposed to the popular usage of the “Grand Prix” title, which it wished to reserve for events counting towards its Formula One World Championship. Henceforth, it was prohibited to use the Grand Prix title for an event which did not count towards this Championship, except for very rare cases with historic justification, such as the Grand Prix de Pau, which is currently a Formula 3 event.
A list of the formula one Grands Prix can be found here.
Can any driver compete in a Grand Prix?
No. In order to be able to take part in a Grand Prix, a driver must hold a “Super Licence”, which is awarded on the basis of his past record in junior formula and of his having a valid contract with a Formula One team which has entered the World Championship.
How are the laps are timed in F-1?
Each car has a transponder unit fitted to it (they are fitted beside the cockpit and in the front of the chassis ), the transponder has a ID unique to each car and it will transmit this ID when the unit is energized by passing over a timing loop buried in the track surface. These transponders allow the timekeepers to record every lap time of every car throughout the weekend. ( The use of a transponder unit for lap timing is also used in other motor sports )
Facts and Trivia Section:
Do you know the logo?
The Formula 1 logo has a hidden number 1 between the letter F and the speed lines. Surely most of you out there think “F” signifies ‘Formula’ and the red-coloured design signifies “1″. But in reality it is not the red-coloured design, it is in fact the white space between the black coloured “F” and the red-coloured design that signifies “1″. Meaning of the colors :The red color represents passion and energy, while the black color represents power and determination.

When Dead Stars Collide!
Gravity has been making waves - literally. Earlier this month, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the first direct detection of gravitational waves two years ago. But astronomers just announced another huge advance in the field of gravitational waves - for the first time, we’ve observed light and gravitational waves from the same source.
There was a pair of orbiting neutron stars in a galaxy (called NGC 4993). Neutron stars are the crushed leftover cores of massive stars (stars more than 8 times the mass of our sun) that long ago exploded as supernovas. There are many such pairs of binaries in this galaxy, and in all the galaxies we can see, but something special was about to happen to this particular pair.
Each time these neutron stars orbited, they would lose a teeny bit of gravitational energy to gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are disturbances in space-time - the very fabric of the universe - that travel at the speed of light. The waves are emitted by any mass that is changing speed or direction, like this pair of orbiting neutron stars. However, the gravitational waves are very faint unless the neutron stars are very close and orbiting around each other very fast.
As luck would have it, the teeny energy loss caused the two neutron stars to get a teeny bit closer to each other and orbit a teeny bit faster. After hundreds of millions of years, all those teeny bits added up, and the neutron stars were *very* close. So close that … BOOM! … they collided. And we witnessed it on Earth on August 17, 2017.

A couple of very cool things happened in that collision - and we expect they happen in all such neutron star collisions. Just before the neutron stars collided, the gravitational waves were strong enough and at just the right frequency that the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and European Gravitational Observatory’s Virgo could detect them. Just after the collision, those waves quickly faded out because there are no longer two things orbiting around each other!
LIGO is a ground-based detector waiting for gravitational waves to pass through its facilities on Earth. When it is active, it can detect them from almost anywhere in space.
The other thing that happened was what we call a gamma-ray burst. When they get very close, the neutron stars break apart and create a spectacular, but short, explosion. For a couple of seconds, our Fermi Gamma-ray Telescope saw gamma-rays from that explosion. Fermi’s Gamma-ray Burst Monitor is one of our eyes on the sky, looking out for such bursts of gamma-rays that scientists want to catch as soon as they’re happening.
And those gamma-rays came just 1.7 seconds after the gravitational wave signal. The galaxy this occurred in is 130 million light-years away, so the light and gravitational waves were traveling for 130 million years before we detected them.
After that initial burst of gamma-rays, the debris from the explosion continued to glow, fading as it expanded outward. Our Swift, Hubble, Chandra and Spitzer telescopes, along with a number of ground-based observers, were poised to look at this afterglow from the explosion in ultraviolet, optical, X-ray and infrared light. Such coordination between satellites is something that we’ve been doing with our international partners for decades, so we catch events like this one as quickly as possible and in as many wavelengths as possible.
Astronomers have thought that neutron star mergers were the cause of one type of gamma-ray burst - a short gamma-ray burst, like the one they observed on August 17. It wasn’t until we could combine the data from our satellites with the information from LIGO/Virgo that we could confirm this directly.
This event begins a new chapter in astronomy. For centuries, light was the only way we could learn about our universe. Now, we’ve opened up a whole new window into the study of neutron stars and black holes. This means we can see things we could not detect before.
The first LIGO detection was of a pair of merging black holes. Mergers like that may be happening as often as once a month across the universe, but they do not produce much light because there’s little to nothing left around the black hole to emit light. In that case, gravitational waves were the only way to detect the merger.

The neutron star merger, though, has plenty of material to emit light. By combining different kinds of light with gravitational waves, we are learning how matter behaves in the most extreme environments. We are learning more about how the gravitational wave information fits with what we already know from light - and in the process we’re solving some long-standing mysteries!
