The Brawn GPs are performing well, that's a fact, but the weekend did not start off ideally. Jostled in free practice by the Ferraris and the Williams, undermined today by Jarno Trulli in qualifying, Jenson Button finally managed to take his second consecutive pole position, the 5th of his career.
The Formula 1 speed record recognized by the FIA is held by Alan van der Merwe with a mark of 397,481 km/h signed on the Bonneville Salt Flats in a Honda F1. In Grand Prix, the race record is to the credit of Kimi Räikkönen with 370,1 km/h during the Italian Grand Prix in 2005. In qualifying, it is Valtteri Bottas, today at Alfa Romeo , which dominates with 378 km/h in Baku.
First of all, an F1 cannot be bought or in any case not put on sale commercially. We will therefore talk more about value. The overall value of a Formula 1 car is estimated at around 1 euros.
Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton co-hold the record for the number of drivers' world championships with 7 titles each. Hamilton, on the other hand, is the only record holder for the number of victories (103), pole positions (104), and podiums. On the Manufacturers' side, Ferrari has the most trophies with 16 world championship titles. F1 is currently owned by Liberty Media, an American media company.
