The very first formula 1 race was in 1948. The very first formula1 car race was between Paris and Rouen in 1894, and the winning car averaged16.4 kilometers per hour. By 1971, the Italian F-1 Grand prix was won at an average speed of 242 kph. Today the formula 1 Championship consists of series of some 17 races, which run every two weeks between March and October.

After each race, the engineers have t frantically thinker with the car's design for the next non-negotiable race deadline in two weeks. And in each race, the car is substantially different from what it was in the previous race.
