  • Who created the name Formula 1, and when did it officially get changed?
    Thanks to Katy, Tommo and Aldas for giving their guesses!

    Hi Matt, just wanted to jump into the comments to reach out to you to say that you're doing an amazing job! This channel is so criminally underrated... Because of CZcams's odd algorithm, I lost sight off this channel a bit, but I watched a couple of your lates videos today and man what a gem this is! Keep it up Matt!

    I mean, to put it simply, It came about when Eccelstone bought the TV rights and wanted to create a brand for top-class Grand Prix racing, and that's where F1 was born. Seems like somebody knew the power of broadcasting media.

    When I was a kid I thought Formula 1 was a title sponsor of the series. I thought it was an oil brand title sponsor. Like Mobil 1.

    Worth mentioning that F1 regulations were made in 1946, it was only the world championship that began in 1950

    (Edit with side note for Brits: there's a 'youuuu' in "Formula 1"... even this colonial Canuck can manage our English.) ;-)

    Formula 1 also sounds better than Specifications 1.
