2009
The new rules and regulations saw a
new order in 2009, with new team
Brawn GP and Red Bull Racing and
their drivers leading the way, with
Ferrari and McLaren having a poor
season. However Ferrari started by
the British Grand Prix to make the
most of their car with a string of
podium finishes and a race victory in
Belgium, while a redesign of the
McLaren challenger helped Lewis
Hamilton to win two races and gain
more points than any other driver
after it was upgraded at the German
Grand Prix. After dominating the
beginning of the season with six out
of seven race wins, Jenson Button
eventually clinched the Drivers' title
in Brazil, with Brawn winning the
Constructors' championship in its
only season, before being taken over
by Mercedes. Rubens Barrichello,
Jenson Button's teammate, was
second in the Drivers' Championship
for the whole season until he had a
problem at the Brazilian Grand Prix
and was overtaken (in points) by
Sebastian Vettel, a Red Bull driver,
who won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
to finish eleven points behind Button.
Also, the major manufacturer teams
were starting to disappear rapidly due
to the worldwide economy crisis. In
addition to Ford/Jaguar which had
left in 2004, Honda had departed in
2008 also due to uncompetitiveness,
Toyota and BMW both departed
entirely in 2009.
2010
The 2010 Formula One season was
the 61st season of FIA Formula One
motor racing
competition. It
featured the
2010 FIA
Formula One
World
Championship
in which Red
Bull Racing
won its maiden Constructors'
Championship with a one-two finish
in Brazil, while Red Bull Racing's
Sebastian Vettel won the Drivers'
Championship after winning the final
race of the season. In doing so, Vettel
became the youngest World Drivers'
Champion in the sport's sixty-year
history. Vettel's victory in the
championship came after a dramatic
season finale at Abu Dhabi where
three other drivers could also have
won the championship – Vettel's Red
Bull Racing team mate Mark
Webber, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso
and McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.[1]
This was Bridgestone's final season
as the sole tyre supplier in Formula
One as the company announced that
it would not renew its contract at the
end of the season. After several
months of deliberation, Pirelli was
chosen as the tyre supplier for the
2011 season at the FIA World Motor
Sport Council meeting in Geneva, in
June 2010.
HISTORY OF FORMULA 1 RACING - CONTINUED

2011
Vettel also became the youngest
double world champion when he
clinched the title at the 2011
Japanese Grand Prix, Red Bull took
the constructors' championship at the
following race in South Korea.
McLaren and Ferrari finished second
and third in the standings once again,
albeit much further behind. Button
eventually took second place in the
standings, with Webber in third once
again. Vettel took 11 victories
throughout the course of the year,
broke the record for the most pole
positions in a season (15) and the
most championship points (392).
2012
After a slow start to the 2012 season,
Vettel won 4 races in a row and
challenged Fernando Alonso and
Ferrari all the way through.
Eventually, the German Vettel took
the lead from the Spanish Alonso and
Vettel opened up a 13-point gap
come the last round in Brazil. Vettel
won his third consecutive driver's
title after finishing 6th at Interlagos,
2013
2013 also went Vettel's way: the
superiority of the Red Bull in race
trim allowed the German to open up
a small lead early in the season, and
starting with the Belgian Grand Prix
(after F1's 4-week break), the
superiority of the Red Bull car began
to show. The British-based Austrian
team had developed an engine-
mapping system that gave their car a
type of traction control (actual
traction control systems are illegal),
and Vettel used this to his
considerable advantage. He won in
Belgium and after that, the rest of the
remaining races in the season (9
races total). The German and the Red
Bull team simply ran away with the
driver's and constructor's
championships, both of which they
won in India- Vettel won his 4th
consecutive driver's championship
there. Come the Korean round, 2
rounds before the Indian one- Red
Bull had developed a special
aerodynamic diffuser that gave the
cars a considerable cornering
advantage. Vettel and his Australian
teammate Mark Webber were leading
1-2 for most of those 9 races, and the
cars often qualified in the top 3 grid
spots; and when they qualified 1-2, it
was often by considerable amounts of
time.
2014
The 2014 Formula One Season was
the 65th season of the FIA Formula
One World Championship. The
season saw the introduction of the
more fuel efficient and
environmentally friendly 1.6 litre V6
turbo charged engines, replacing the
previous 2.4 litre V8 engines used in
the previous season. 2014 was the
first season since 1988 in which
turbo charged cars are used in the
sport.
After an epic season-long battle with
Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg,
Lewis Hamilton won the Drivers'
Championship by 67 points, though
only after Rosberg suffered multiple
car issues at the final race, the
double-points-paying Abu Dhabi
Grand Prix. Hamilton took eleven
victories, while Rosberg's eleven
6
poles gave him the Pole Position
Trophy. Third in the championship,
surprising nearly the entire F1
community, was Daniel Ricciardo,
the only driver other than the two
Mercedes drivers to win a race.
Valtteri Bottas secured six podiums
on his way to fourth place in the
championship, while reigning World
Champion Sebastian Vettel could
only make it to fifth in the
championship.
Mercedes won the Constructors'
Championship, clinching the title at
the Russian Grand Prix. The eventual
gap to Red Bull-Renault was 296
points. Third-placed Williams-
Mercedes saw a long-awaited return
to the front of the grid, though they
failed to win a race.
2015
The 2015 Formula One season
was the 66th season of the Formula
One World Championship, a motor
racing championship for Formula
One cars, recognised by the sport's
governing body, the Fédération
Internationale de l'Automobile
(FIA), as the highest class of
competition for open-wheel racing
cars.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS!
A woman climbed behind the wheel of a beautiful white GLE350 Mercedes-Benz SUV at an Arlington, VA, dealership last week to take it for a test drive.
But the fun was over in the virtual blink of an eye when she somehow managed to flip the pricey car over in the parking lot, according to ARLNow.com.
The woman was driving at a high rate of speed and crashed into four other parked cars in the lot.
One of the cars she hit was her own SUV.
There were four people in the SUV when it rolled over but none were injured, according
to the website. The sales consultant who was in the vehicle at the time was reportedly checked by paramedics for a possible back injury.
The only explanation reported for what might have happened is that the woman somehow mixed up the gas pedal with the brake.
Estimated price of the sporty Mercedes-Benz GLE350: $60,000.
Crashing cars during test drives is relatively uncommon, but still definitely an occupational hazard for dealership employees. Back in 2015, a woman demolished a new Camry and a handful of other vehicles at a Houston-area dealership, and earlier this year a salesman was killed in Ontario during a Corvette test drive that went horribly and tragically wrong.
