As well as any product of high technologies, car Formula’s-1 is filled by electronics, helping to reach the best results in race. All electronic stuffing bolid is inspected FIA before a season and cannot vary during it.
Though some knots болида have electronic components, the systems, obviously helping to operate bolids (for example start monitoring systems) are forbidden. Besides, all commands are obliged to use the unified block of engine management (ECU). Recently the tendency on decrease in quantity of electronics in bolids is observed that raises a role of the racer in management of car.
With bolid’s Formula’s-1 is continuously transferred telemetry — the information on a condition and behaviour of the car. The telemetry is watched by the command personnel. The feedback is forbidden, that is to operate bolid it is impossible.

Race

Race is spent on Sunday, from 14:00 local time in the European countries and to more later time in the Asian countries and Australia that translation in Europe has not had for too early morning. For race pilots should pass quantity of circles which is defined in advance proceeding from length of a circle of autodrome. The quantity of circles steals up so that the general distance of race was equal or is minimum surpassed 305 km (an exception — 260 km on Grand prix of Monaco). Thus race cannot proceed more than two hours. It means that if for 2 hours the leader will not overcome all distance of race after 2 hours the circle on which there will be at present racers, will be declared the last.

Sessions

In the first and second session pilots can pass qualifying circles with any quantity of fuel in tanks. Bolids, left by results of first two sessions, then fuel with which they will start in race. The pilots starting in the third session, should be filled on race already before departure on the first attempt. Upon termination of qualification in these bolids it is forbidden to add fuel. After the qualification termination bolids go to the closed park, that is prior to the beginning of race it is impossible to change essentially its options, in other complete set of rubber. After the termination of session declares results of control weighing of cars, and thus commands and spectators can judge what quantity of fuel onboard at contenders.
In case of imposing by stewards on pilots or a command of penalties in the form of deprivation of several places on start, these penalties are applied directly ahead of race start, that is qualification passes without their account.

The order of carrying out of Grand prix, duty of commands and pilots are defined by sports regulations. Its positions should be observed by all participants of the World championship of Formuly-1 strictly.
On Grand prix from one command 2 pilots in qualification and race can act. Besides in free arrivals on Friday the command can use the third pilot, but 2 cars can take part only.
In case of illness or other good reasons the third pilot can replace on qualification and race of one of the basic pilots of a command. The points typed by the spare pilot in race, will be added into its personal account in the World championship; in struggle for the Cup of designers these points will be added to the command account as though the basic pilot acted for it. During a season for one command can act, typing for itself and for it points, to 4 pilots.
To participate in Grand prix, the pilot is obliged to receive the superlicense of the International federation of motor racing.

Grand prix

The Grand prix is spent from Friday on Sunday and consists of free arrivals, qualification and race. The season consists of various quantity of Grand prix: from 7 in 1950 to 19 in 2005 also it is usually spent from March till October. On finish of race pilots and commands receive points for the first 8 places on system 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. Three first racers rise on a podium. In honour of the winner plays the country hymn which citizen it is, and then — a hymn of the country of a command of the winner. The country of a command of the winner is defined on the state, granted to it the licence for participation. [2] if citizenship of the pilot and the country of a command of the winner coincide, the hymn is played once. The points typed by pilots in race, increase to their account in struggle for a title of the world champion, and also to the account of their commands in struggle for the Cup of designers.

Regulations

Each command itself creates the chassis for the bolids. Motors can be got at the foreign manufacturer, as well as occurs in modern Formula’s-1: almost all commands have the partner-motor-car manufacturer which delivers them motors. Conformity of cars to technical regulations is watched by stewards of the International federation of motor racing. From each command in each Grand prix two racers should act, thus brushes cars should be identical (except for numbers). In case the command does not leave on start of race or will expose only one bolid, it can be punished by the penalty.

Bolids

As commands build a bolids on own technologies and in view of a high competition of commands, in Formula’s-1 original technical decisions that conducts to huge progress both racing bolids, and road cars constantly are born. At the same time, in due course the role of Formula’s-1 as engine of progress of motor industry gradually decreases: on the one hand that few technical decisions can be transferred without serious changes on the serial car, and on the other hand — because of the general aspiration of organizers of a series to cut expenses of commands. The most known example of the serial technology for the first time presented in the World championship of Formula’s-1, it is possible to consider system. For the first time the system has been presented by a Ferrari team in 1990. Then, already after interdiction АПС in a season of 1994, the technology gradually began to take root motor-car manufacturers on serial cars. The system in Formule-1 for some time still appeared, but has soon been again cancelled under the pretext of that so difficult electronic “stuffing” bolid levels many errors of the pilot.

Formula One World Championship — the World championship on a ring auto racing on cars with open wheels. Formula One or «the Royal formula» is the most popular, expensive and hi-tech kind of an auto racing. The World championship of Formuly-1 is spent every year and consists of separate Grand prix, or stages. In the end of the year the winner of the championship comes to light. In Formula’s One compete both separate pilots, and commands. Pilots compete for a title of the world champion, and a command — for the Cup of designers. The commands participating in races by Formula’s One, use on Grand prix (racing cars) of own manufacture. Thus, a command problem is not only to employ the fast and skilled pilot and to provide competent adjustment and car service, but also in general «from zero» to design and design. But there are also exceptions. For example, chassis of commands Red Bull Racing and Scuderia Toro Rosso are traditionally very similar, almost identical. They are designed and made by company Red Bull Technology. After all both commands and the company-manufacturer belong to concern Red Bull GmbH.
