'''Formula One''', also known as '''Formula 1''' or '''F1''' and officially as the '''FIA Formula One World Championship''' is the highest class of [[single-seater]] [[auto racing]] sanctioned by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (FIA). Formula One is often considered the pinnacle of [[automobile]] [[racing]]. It is the highest class of car racing with speeds topping 320 kph. The Formula One World Championship is held every year on racing tracks on every continent except [[Africa]]. The Championship is given not only to the winning driver after all 20 races but also to the winner car manufacturer. The current Driver's World Champion is [[German]] [[Christian]] racer Sebastien Vettel, while the Constructor's Champions are the [[Austrian]] team Red Bull Racing, who are, like most of the F1 teams based close to the  British circuit Silverstone. Due to the requirement of the drivers to be fit and focused, many of the drivers are devout [[Christians]]. While many people think that F1 is similar to [[Indycar]], Formula One takes place on [[race circuits]] and [[street circuits]], while Indycar races often take place on oval tracks.

Another controversy was the incident involving the former head of the FIA, Max Mosley. The now defunct liberal gossip newspaper, ''News of the World'', published a story in which they accused Mosley of organizing and participating in a number of immoral and [[Nazi]]-themed events. These accusations caused a lot of concern within certain national sporting bodies and greatly damaged the road safety campaign that was being organised to save lives in developing countries as well as driving a number of key potential sponsors away from the sport. It was later found that these accusations be false and were made so the newspaper could sell more copies.
