Best known as a founder member of the band Pink Floyd , Barrett was the lead singer , guitarist and principal songwriter in its early years and is credited with naming the band . Barrett was excluded from Pink Floyd in April 1968 after David Gilmour took over as their new guitarist , and was briefly hospitalised amid speculation of mental illness .

Barrett began his solo career in 1969 with the single `` Octopus '' from his first solo album , The Madcap Laughs ( 1970 ) . The album was recorded over the course of a year with five different producers ( Peter Jenner , Malcolm Jones , David Gilmour , Roger Waters and Barrett himself ) . Nearly two months after Madcap was released , Barrett began working on his second and final album , Barrett ( 1970 ) , produced by Gilmour and featuring contributions from Richard Wright . Two years later , he left the music industry , retired from public life and strictly guarded his own privacy until his death in 2006 . In 1988 , an album of unreleased tracks and outtakes , Opel , was released by EMI with Barrett 's approval .   Barrett 's innovative guitar work and exploration of experimental techniques such as dissonance , distortion and feedback influenced many musicians . His recordings are also noted for their strongly English-accented vocal delivery . After leaving music , Barrett continued with painting and dedicated himself to gardening . Pink Floyd wrote and recorded several tributes to him , most notably the 1975 album Wish You Were Here , which included `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' , as homage to Barrett .

neg: Backing vocalist Backing vocalists are singers who provide vocal harmony with the lead vocalist or other backing vocalists . In some cases , a backing singer may sing alone as a lead-in to the main vocalist 's entry or to sing a counter-melody . Backing vocalists are used in a broad range of popular music , traditional music and world music styles .   Solo artists may employ professional backing vocalists in studio recording sessions as well as during concerts . In many rock and metal bands ( e.g. , the power trio ) , the musicians doing backup vocals also play instruments , such as guitar , electric bass , drums , or keyboards . In Latin or Afro-Cuban groups , backup singers may play percussion instruments or shakers while singing . In some pop and hip-hop groups and in musical theater , the backup singers may be required to perform elaborately choreographed dance routines while they sing through headset microphones .   The style of singing used by backup singers varies according to the type of song and the genre of music the band plays . In pop and country songs , backup vocalists may perform vocal harmony parts to support the lead vocalist . In hardcore punk or rockabilly , other band members who play instruments may sing or shout backup vocals during the chorus ( refrain ) section of the songs .

He currently leads a re-formed Beat line-up with drummer Everett Morton .   The `` Ranking '' moniker is short for `` Top Ranking '' or `` High Ranking , '' and is a boast typical of many MCs .   Roger was born in Birmingham , England , the son of Jean Baptiste Charlery . He became a punk rock fan as a teenager and joined ska revival pioneers The Beat in the late 1970s . He had appeared on stage toasting and singing with them many times before officially joining the band . His energetic style and Jamaican-influenced vocals , paired with Dave Wakeling were crucial in distinguishing the band from the other second-wave ska bands . The Beat released three albums : the critically acclaimed and seminal I Just Ca n't Stop It ( 1980 ) , Wha ` ppen ? ( 1981 ) and Special Beat Service ( 1982 ) .

Roger and Wakeling also worked on various projects and reunited for the Threesome soundtrack , recording a cover of `` I 'll Take You There '' .   Roger has also released two solo albums . 1988 's Radical Departure album included band members Horace Panter and Fuzz Townshend .

Included on Banton 's album Never Give In , the song was a follow-up to an earlier collaboration by the two singers on `` Pato and Roger a Go Talk '' , which appeared on Special Beat Service . Roger joined Banton again in 1995 on `` Bubbling Hot '' , which reached # 15 on the UK single charts .   Ranking Roger 's son , Matthew Murphy -- ` Ranking Junior ' , has followed in his father 's footsteps . In 2005 , he appeared on The Ordinary Boys ' hit single `` Boys Will Be Boys '' . In 2003 , The Beat 's original line-up , minus Cox and Steele , played a sold-out one-off gig at the Royal Festival Hall .

neg: Characteristics of progressive rock Progressive rock is a term that refers to a musical style . The term was originally referred to as `` classical rock '' ( in which a band performed together with an orchestra ) , but the term 's use has expanded in recent years to include other fusions of music styles including jazz fusion , metal and folk rock musics . The term does not refer to one particular music style but to an approach that combines elements of diverse styles . Jerry Ewing , editor of Prog Magazine , explains that `` Prog is not just a sound , it 's a mindset . '' Dream Theater guitarist John Petrucci outlines that Progressive rock is defined by its very lack of stylistic boundaries . The advent of the concept album , plus the genre 's roots in psychedelia , led albums and performances to be viewed as combined presentations of music , lyrics , and visuals .   Bands abandoned the short pop single in favor of instrumentation and compositional techniques more frequently associated with jazz or classical music as part of an effort to give rock music the same level of musical sophistication and critical respect . Progressive rock abandons the danceable beat that defines earlier rock styles and is more likely than other types of popular music to experiment with compositional structure , instrumentation , harmony and rhythm , or lyrical content . It may demand more effort on the part of the listener than other types of music .   Musicians in progressive rock typically display a high degree of instrumental skill , although this is not always the case . Virtuoso instrumental skills are so closely associated with progressive rock that authors such as Bill Martin consider it as a defining element and exclude bands such as Pink Floyd from consideration . It is not uncommon for musicians to have received a higher-than-average level of formal training . Players from the genre frequently appear in readers ' polls of publications that cater to musicians .

neg: Rollercoaster Tour The Rollercoaster Tour was a 1992 co-headlining concert tour by the English Britpop band Blur , the American indie rock band Dinosaur Jr. , the Irish alternative rock band My Bloody Valentine and the Scottish noise pop band the Jesus and Mary Chain . A one-leg 11-date tour of the United Kingdom , the tour was in support of all four bands ' current releases : Blur 's debut album Leisure ( 1991 ) , Dinosaur Jr. s fourth album Green Mind ( 1991 ) , My Bloody Valentine 's second album Loveless ( 1991 ) and The Jesus and Mary Chain 's fourth album Honey 's Dead ( 1992 ) .   The tour was curated by the Jesus and Mary Chain 's vocalist Jim Reid , who `` wanted to break the routine '' of performing in small , frequently played venues -- such as Nottinghams Rock City -- and `` cater to all strands of independent rock music '' . Reid was inspired by , and considered the Rollercoaster Tour a British equivalent to , the North American festival Lollapalooza , which the Jesus and Mary Chain performed at in 1991 and which he considered `` fairly disastrous '' . Each band performed a 45-minute set with no encore and the line-up changed each night of the tour , although the Jesus and Mary Chain performed as the final act on all 11 dates .   My Bloody Valentine ceased live performances in the UK after the tour and did not play again until their 2008 reunion tour . The band 's set , which ended with a noise section of their song `` You Made Me Realise '' referred to as the `` holocaust section '' , reportedly caused attendees ' pint glasses to fall out of their hands due to excessive sound pressure levels . Reflecting on the tour , Jim Reid referred to it as `` a lot -LSB- like a -RSB- competition -- who could be the loudest ? Whose was the best film show ? And then there was , who could be most off their tits and still play a show ? '' The Rollercoaster EP , containing material from Blur , My Bloody Valentine , Dinosaur Jr. and the Jesus and Mary Chain , was issued in Melody Maker in March 1992 to promote the tour .

The line-up included Alistair Elkins on bass guitar , Carl Jackson on lead vocals and Leigh Thompson on drums . In 2002 Carlos Echeverria was replaced by Elkins on bass guitar . Carl 's brother Lachlan Jackson was the bassist in the original lineup ( along with a handful of drummers ) before they moved to Melbourne . They were one of Australia 's `` buzz '' punk/pop acts and were signed to Boomtown Records . Wishful Thinking 's musical style was pop punk and followed in the style of such bands like Blink 182 and New Found Glory .   Wishful Thinking shared stages and toured with such bands , including Millencolin , MXPX , Kisschasy , Area-7 , Gyroscope , All Star United , Relient K , The O.C. Supertones , and Antiskeptic .   Wishful Thinking also had rotation on the radio stations Triple M and Triple J , with their single ' I Do n't Need You ' which was released in 2003 and their single ` The Day You Went Away ' in 2004 .   Tim Cashmere of Undercover News reviewed their debut album , Standing Still ( 2003 ) ; he described them as a `` Christian-punk act '' and felt the album was `` none-too-shabby , albeit none-too-original either ... The god-fearing punk beats of Wishful Thinking makes an interesting point of difference . '' Ben Seifu of vibewire.net noticed that `` the production is quite professional without being too smooth or processed . The drums in particular are captured reasonably well . But beyond that Standing Still is pretty standard pop punk stuff . '' Jasper Lee of Oz Music Project opined that it `` oozes of punk pop goodness that echoes heroes of said genre such as MXPX . The band 's strength lies in their combination of consistent punk power chords with a lyrical depth underpinning their spiritual beliefs . ''   Steph Brincat of Oz Music Project reviewed the group 's second album , Kicking Goals , Banging Gongs & High Five All Round , rating it at four out of five due to the `` classic pop-punk sound that we have all come to know and love , without making it sound horrible and generic , and I assure you that I am not being sarcastic or ironic . The music is tight and although it does n't stray from the usual pop-punk recipe of repetitive yet catchy bass , guitar and drum explosion , there is variation in their tunes such as interesting little guitar licks and bass solos . ''   The band reformed for a once-off show in August 2013 at the Adelaide Uni Bar with S.T.R.

neg: The Prime Movers (Michigan band) The Prime Movers were a blues band based in the Ann Arbor , Michigan , formed in 1965 . The band originally consisted of Michael Erlewine ( lead singer , harmonica ) , Dan Erlewine ( lead guitar ) , Robert Sheff ( keyboards ) , Robert Vinopal ( bass ) , and Michael `` Spider '' Wynn ( drums ) . Vinopal left soon after the band 's formation and was replaced by Jack Dawson . Wynn left a short time later and was replaced by James Osterberg , who would later become famous as Iggy Pop . When he joined the Prime Movers Osterberg took the name `` Iggy '' , from his previous band The Iguanas .   The Prime Movers played throughout the Midwest . In 1966 , the band frequented blues clubs in Chicago where they saw blues legends like Little Walter , Magic Sam , Big Walter Horton , and many other bluesmen perform live . Courted by a subsidiary of Motown Records who wanted to promote them as a white group playing `` black '' music , the band refused to cooperate , preferring to study and perform classic Chicago-style blues than to record songs that were fed to them by Motown . A consequence of this is that they were not professionally recorded . ( Recordings made by the band and fans surfaced years later , including a recording of Iggy Pop singing the Muddy Waters song `` I 'm a Man . '' )   The Prime Movers played a significant part in helping to host the first two Ann Arbor Blues Festivals , in 1969 and 1970 , which were the first ( and largest ) blues festivals ( in terms of the number of great bluesman who performed ) in the U.S. Michael Erlewine interviewed dozens of the performers , and the spirit of these early festivals carried over into the Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz Festival in 1972 , 1973 , and 1974 . Members of the band were also involved in the 1972 festival .   As time passed , the Prime Movers became kind of the elder statesmen in the burgeoning Ann Arbor music scene , working with the younger groups , and playing with visiting artists like Jerry Garcia . They frequently shared the bill with the MC5 . In the Midwest , the band played at Detroit clubs like the Grande Ballroom , the Living End , the Chessmate , and the Wisdom Tooth . They also appeared frequently at Mother Blues in Chicago as well as other Michigan clubs like the 5th Dimension , Mothers , Schwaben Inn , Depot House , Town Bar , and Clint 's Club , and Mr. Flood 's Party .   In 1967 , the band toured the West Coast and spent the Summer of Love in San Francisco , living at the Sausalito Heliport , and playing at places like The Matrix , The Straight Theater , the Haight A , New Orleans House , and the Fillmore West , where they opened for Cream .   Iggy Pop was replaced by Jesse Crawford in early 1967 . Crawford later became famous as the MC for the MC5 , belting out the phrase `` Kick out the jams , Motherfucker ... '' that kicked off their shows . The band went through some 37 members , and broke up by 1970 . The Erlewine brothers continued to play around the Ann Arbor area for some years after that . Michael Erlewine had a solo piano act as late as 1971 , and went on to found the popular All-Music Guide , while Dan Erlewine became an accomplished luthier and prolific author on guitar repair , notably for Guitar Player magazine .

neg: The Section (band) The Section are a US instrumental rock band formed in the early 1970s by musicians Danny Kortchmar , Craig Doerge , Leland Sklar , and Russ Kunkel . They are best known for both studio and stage work in support of some of the best selling solo singers of that decade . Their frequent appearances on the records of artists signed to Asylum Records made them the label 's de facto house band . Their close association with the singer-songwriter and soft rock genres of the 1970s also led to their alternate moniker of `` The Mellow Mafia . ''   They appeared together and individually on albums by Linda Ronstadt , Crosby & Nash , James Taylor , Carole King , Jackson Browne , Warren Zevon , and acted as back-up band on their tours . Other musicians closely associated with The Section include guitarist Waddy Wachtel , bassist Tim Drummond and multi-instrumentalist David Lindley .   By the 1980s , the group stopped working together collectively , though as individuals they continued to play prominent roles in the studio and on tour with many of the most popular solo acts of the decade , including Phil Collins ( who collaborated with Sklar frequently starting with 1985 's No Jacket Required album and subsequent tour ) , Stevie Nicks ( whose landmark Bella Donna album features guitar work from Wachtel , who continues to work with her as her musical director ) , and Don Henley ( who used Kortchmar 's skills on numerous instruments on his Building the Perfect Beast album ) .   Beside their supporting work for other musicians , The Section also released three albums of their own , consisting of mostly instrumental music .

neg: Barrett's Privateers `` Barrett 's Privateers '' is a modern folk song in the style of a sea shanty , written and performed by Canadian musician Stan Rogers , having been inspired after a song session with the Friends of Fiddler 's Green at the Northern Lights Festival Boréal in Sudbury , Ontario . Although Barrett , the Antelope and other specific instances mentioned in the song are fictional , `` Barrett 's Privateers '' is full of many authentic details of privateering in the late 18th century .   The song was released on the album Fogarty 's Cove in 1976 and has since gained popularity as a drinking song , with cover versions by many bands . The song makes use of mixed meter , regularly switching back and forth from 4/4 to 5/4 time , which is unusual for a sea shanty , as they are traditionally sung in a strict , unchanging meter . It is regarded as one of the Royal Canadian Navy 's unofficial anthems , the unofficial anthem of Atlantic Canada and also often heard sung at many Atlantic universities including Mount Saint Vincent University , Saint Mary 's , Dalhousie , Memorial University of Newfoundland , University of King 's College , and University of New Brunswick .

neg: Echoes (Pink Floyd song) `` Echoes '' is a composition by Pink Floyd including fully extended instrumental passages , continuous sound effects , and musical improvisation .

The track has a running time of 23:31 and takes up the entire second side of the vinyl and cassette recordings .   It also appears in shortened form as the fifth track on the compilation album which took its name , Echoes : The Best of Pink Floyd . `` Echoes '' is the third-longest song in Pink Floyd 's catalogue , after `` Atom Heart Mother '' ( 23:44 ) and the combined segments of `` Shine On You Crazy Diamond '' ( 26:01 ) . Unlike those pieces , it is not explicitly divided into separate parts ; however , the composition was originally assembled from separate fragments and was later split in two parts to serve as both the opening and closing numbers in the band 's film Live at Pompeii . It retains the title as the longest song by Pink Floyd that is not split into parts . The song was used to open the band 's 1987 A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour after not being played for over a decade , but was retired again after 11 shows . The song was finally revived again for Gilmour 's 2006 On an Island Tour where it was performed every night and a live version was released on Live in Gdańsk and Remember That Night .

Chain Reaction performed in concert as the opening act for such groups as The Beach Boys , The Byrds and The Yardbirds . The band 's 1966 song `` When I Needed You '' appeared on Aerosmith 's 1991 compilation box set album Pandora 's Box .

In 2002 , he became the only driver in Formula One history to finish in the top three in every race of a season and then also broke the record for most consecutive podium finishes . According to the official Formula One website , he is `` statistically the greatest driver the sport has ever seen '' .   After beginning in karting , Schumacher won the German drivers ' championships in Formula König and Formula Three before joining Mercedes in the World Sportscar Championship . In 1991 , his Mercedes-funded race debut for the Jordan Formula One team resulted in Schumacher being signed by Benetton Formula One team as their driver for the rest of that season . Establishing himself as a top driver , finishing third in 1992 and fourth in 1993 , Schumacher became the first German World Drivers ' Champion in 1994 by one point over Damon Hill . In 1995 he repeated the success , this time with a greater margin . Schumacher moved to Ferrari in 1996 . Schumacher came close to winning the 1997 and 1998 titles , before breaking his leg at the 1999 British Grand Prix , ending another title run . Schumacher won five consecutive drivers ' titles from 2000 to 2004 . Schumacher retired from Formula One driving in 2006 staying with Ferrari as an advisor . He came close to an eighth title that year , but due to technical problems in the final two races he fell short to Fernando Alonso . Schumacher agreed to return for Ferrari part-way through 2009 , as cover for the badly injured Felipe Massa , but was prevented by a neck injury . Schumacher returned to Formula One on a permanent basis from 2010 with the Mercedes team before retiring for a second time at the conclusion of the 2012 season .   His career was not without controversy , including being twice involved in collisions in the final race of a season that determined the outcome of the World Championship , with Damon Hill in 1994 in Adelaide , and with Jacques Villeneuve in 1997 in Jerez . Off the track , Schumacher is an ambassador for UNESCO and a spokesman for driver safety .

neg: 1998 Italian Grand Prix The 1998 Italian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at Monza on 13 September 1998 . The race was won by Michael Schumacher . This was also the last win for tyre manufacturer Goodyear in Formula One .   It was a dramatic race , Häkkinen got a blinding start pushing his way past Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher on the front row , at same time it was a dreadful start for Schumacher who fell down to 5th , soon after he passed Villeneuve for 4th then Irvine for 3rd .   Häkkinen was struggling with a developing brake issue soon after and he waved his team mate Coulthard through , but soon after Coulthard 's engine blew and seconds later Schumacher , who had caught Häkkinen , passed the Finn when Häkkinen had adjusted his brake bias forwards to cope with the brake problem and ran wide due to the smoke from Coulthard 's engine .   Villeneuve running very low downforce soon spun out of the race , and Häkkinen started catching Schumacher again . Häkkinen was just three seconds behind with a handful of laps remaining , but then his rear brakes failed , sending him into a wild spin at the Roggia chicane . He was able to keep his engine running and kept going , but at the beginning of the next lap he went off again at the first Rettifilo chicane , and Irvine reeled him in and took 2nd off him . Soon after Ralf Schumacher caught and over took Häkkinen who was able to limp home in 4th .   It was jubliant scenes for the Italian crowd as Michael Schumacher came home first and his Ferrari team mate Eddie Irvine took second with Ralf Schumacher 3rd , meaning the Jordan team had finished on all three podium places in two races .   Michael Schumacher was now level on points with Mika Häkkinen going into the Nürburgring , the penultimate round .

neg: Lotus 87 The Lotus 87 was a Formula One racing car used by Team Lotus in the second part of the 1981 Formula One season and in the first race of the 1982 season .   The car , driven by Italian Elio de Angelis and future world champion Nigel Mansell , was another step in Lotus ' development of ground effect cars . Its predecessor , the Lotus 81 had proven to suffer from a chassis that was not rigid enough , compared to the dominant Williams FW07 . Lotus therefore introduced a new chassis , built out of carbon fibre and reinforced by kevlar sheets , since the team felt carbon fibre alone would not be sufficient to provide the chassis with the stability needed . As the John Barnard-designed McLaren MP4/1 would prove , this was a miscalculation . The chassis was originally planned for the ambitious twin-chassis Lotus 88 , but after the car was outlawed , it was hastily rebuilt to become the more conservative 87 . The car was not competitive enough to fight for victories , even though the drivers did manage to get some points . When the new turbo charged engines of Renault and Ferrari became more reliable , the car proved to be yet still too heavy and was replaced by a lighter 87B specification for the opening round of 1982 . It was subsequently replaced altogether by the Lotus 91 , which proved more competitive , recording a podium in its first outing in Brazil .

neg: 2000 French Grand Prix The 2000 French Grand Prix ( formally the LXXXVI Mobil 1 Grand Prix de France ) was a Formula One motor race held on 2 July 2000 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours , Magny-Cours , Burgundy , France . It was the ninth race of the 2000 Formula One season and the 86th French Grand Prix . The 72-lap race was won by McLaren driver David Coulthard after starting from second position . His teammate Mika Häkkinen finished second with Rubens Barrichello third for the Ferrari team .   Coulthard started the race alongside Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher who began from pole position . Barrichello began from third on the grid and overtook Coulthard going into the first corner . Michael Schumacher maintained his start line advantage and kept the lead after the first round of pit stops . During the course of the second stint of the race , Michael Schumacher began to struggle with tyre wear , allowing Coulthard to close the gap and passed him on lap 40 . Coulthard maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops and won the race . Michael Schumacher retired on lap 59 with an engine failure promoting Häkkinen into second position . Barrichello took third , ahead of BAR driver Jacques Villeneuve in fourth .   The race was Coulthard 's third victory of the season , his first at Magny-Cours , and the result meant that he reduced Michael Schumacher 's points advantage in the Drivers ' Championship to twelve points . Häkkinen remained third on 38 points , six ahead of Barrichello . In the Constructors ' Championship , McLaren 's one-two finish allowed them to narrow the gap to Ferrari to be six points behind , with eight races of the season remaining .

neg: 1990 Japanese Grand Prix The 1990 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 21 October 1990 at Suzuka . It was the fifteenth and penultimate round of the 1990 Formula One season . It was the 17th Japanese Grand Prix and the fourth to be held at Suzuka . The race was held over 53 laps of the six kilometre circuit for a race distance of 310 kilometres .   The race is best remembered for the first corner collision between World Championship rivals Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna and French driver Alain Prost , the second consecutive year the two had collided at this race with heavy championship repercussions . It immediately put both cars out of the race and secured for Senna his second World Championship . The race saw a best result to that point for the Benetton Formula team with their drivers , Brazilian veteran Nelson Piquet and his protégé Roberto Moreno finishing first and second in their Benetton B190s . It was back to back wins for Benetton in Japan after the team 's win the previous year . Japanese driver Aguri Suzuki scored a career best result for himself and the Larrousse team , finishing third in his Lola LC90 in the only podium driver and team would achieve .   With Ferrari scoring no points after Nigel Mansell 's retirement , the McLaren team secured their sixth and third consecutive constructor 's championship .   , this race marks the only time a Lamborghini powered car finished on the podium in Formula One .

neg: McLaren McLaren Racing Limited , competing as McLaren Honda , is a British Formula One team based at the McLaren Technology Centre , Woking , Surrey , England . McLaren is best known as a Formula One constructor but has also competed in and won the Indianapolis 500 and the Canadian-American Challenge Cup ( Can-Am ) . The team is the second oldest active team after Ferrari . They are one of the most successful teams in Formula One history , having won 182 races , 12 drivers ' championships and eight constructors ' championships . The team is a wholly owned subsidiary of McLaren Technology Group .   Founded in 1963 by New Zealander Bruce McLaren , the team won its first Grand Prix at the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix , but their greatest initial success was in Can-Am , where they dominated from 1967 to 1971 . Further American triumph followed , with Indianapolis 500 wins in McLaren cars for Mark Donohue in 1972 and Johnny Rutherford in 1974 and 1976 . After Bruce McLaren died in a testing accident in 1970 , Teddy Mayer took over and led the team to their first Formula One constructors ' championship in 1974 , with Emerson Fittipaldi and James Hunt winning the drivers ' championship in 1974 and 1976 , respectively ; 1974 also marked the start of a long-standing sponsorship by Phillip Morris ' Marlboro cigarette brand .   In 1981 , McLaren merged with Ron Dennis ' Project Four Racing ; Dennis took over as team principal and shortly after organised a buyout of the original McLaren shareholders to take full control of the team . This began the team 's most successful era : with Porsche and Honda engines , Niki Lauda , Alain Prost , and Ayrton Senna took between them seven drivers ' championships and McLaren six constructors ' championships . The combination of Prost and Senna was particularly dominant -- together they won all but one race in 1988 -- but later their rivalry soured and Prost left for Ferrari . Fellow English team Williams offered the most consistent challenge during this period , the two winning every constructors ' title between 1984 and 1994 . However , by the mid-1990s , Honda had withdrawn from Formula One , Senna had moved to Williams , and the team went three seasons without a win . With Mercedes-Benz engines , West sponsorship , and former Williams designer Adrian Newey , further championships came in 1998 and 1999 with driver Mika Häkkinen and during the 2000s the team were consistent front-runners , driver Lewis Hamilton taking their latest title in 2008 .   Ron Dennis retired as McLaren team principal in 2009 , handing the former role to longtime McLaren employee Martin Whitmarsh . At the end of 2013 , after the team 's worst season since 2004 , Whitmarsh was ousted . McLaren announced in 2013 that they would be using Honda engines from 2015 onwards , replacing Mercedes-Benz . The team raced as McLaren-Honda for the first time since 1992 at the 2015 Australian Grand Prix .

neg: Lotus 94T The Lotus 94T was a Formula One racing car used by Team Lotus in the second part of the 1983 Formula One season . The car was powered by the Renault Gordini EF1 V6 turbo engine , and ran on Pirelli tyres . The car was designed and built in only six weeks by incumbent designer Gérard Ducarouge , who was brought into the team by boss Peter Warr in an attempt to stave off the uncompetitiveness of the previous Lotus cars .   The car featured a lower , slimmer monocoque with improved weight distribution over its predecessor . The 94T made its debut at the 1983 British Grand Prix and proved to be competitive in the hands of Nigel Mansell , who came home fourth in the race , and Elio de Angelis , and provided an upswing in form for the Lotus team which would carry them into the 1984 season with a developed version of the car . Its best result was a third place at the 1983 European Grand Prix with Mansell , who also claimed fastest lap in the race , while De Angelis won the pole position . De Angelis had the lion 's share of bad luck , and scored only two points with the car , but Mansell made it into the top six on several occasions , and finished the season with 12 points to his credit .

neg: Lewis Hamilton Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton , MBE ( born 7 January 1985 ) is a British Formula One racing driver from England , currently racing for the Mercedes AMG Petronas team . A three-time Formula One World Champion , he is regarded by fellow and former drivers as one of the greatest Formula One drivers in the history of the sport . He won his first title with McLaren in 2008 before moving to Mercedes , where he won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015 .   In December 1995 , at the age of ten , he approached McLaren team principal Ron Dennis at the Autosport Awards ceremony and told him , `` I want to race for you one day ... I want to race for McLaren . '' Less than three years later McLaren and Mercedes-Benz signed him to their Young Driver Support Programme . After winning the British Formula Renault , Formula Three Euroseries , and GP2 championships on his way up the racing career ladder , he drove for McLaren in 2007 , making his Formula One debut 12 years after his initial encounter with Dennis . Hamilton 's contract for the McLaren driver development program made him the youngest ever driver to secure a contract which later resulted in a Formula One drive .   Coming from a mixed background , with a black father and white mother , Hamilton is the first black driver to race in Formula One . Hamilton commented on this , saying `` The way I see it , my colour is an advantage in that it 's something people talk about '' , `` Being the first black man does n't matter much to me personally , but for the sport itself it probably means quite a lot . ''   In his first season in Formula One , Hamilton set numerous records while finishing second in the 2007 Formula One Championship , just one point behind Kimi Räikkönen . He won the World Championship the following season in dramatic fashion , becoming the then-youngest Formula One World Champion in history before Sebastian Vettel broke the record two years later . Following his second world title in 2014 , he was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year . In 2015 , he became the first British driver in history to win consecutive F1 titles , and the second British driver to win three titles after Jackie Stewart . He also became the first English driver to reach that milestone . He is the first driver in the history of F1 to have made the podium after starting 20th place or lower at least 3 times . He is the only driver in the history of the sport to have won at least one race in each season he has competed to date , with McLaren from 2007 until 2012 , and with Mercedes since 2013 . He has more race victories than any other British driver in the history of Formula One . His Grand Prix victories is the second highest of all-time having surpassed Alain Prost 's total of 51 at the 2016 Brazilian Grand Prix , behind only Michael Schumacher at 91 . Hamilton also holds the record for most wins in the season without winning the World Championship , after winning 10 times in the 2016 season where he finished runner-up to teammate Nico Rosberg .

neg: 2011 Italian Grand Prix The 2011 Italian Grand Prix , formally known as the 2011 Gran Premio Santander d'Italia , was a Formula One motor race that was held on 11 September 2011 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italy . It was the thirteenth round of the 2011 Formula One season and was also the sixtieth time the Italian Grand Prix had been held at Monza . The 53-lap race was won by Red Bull 's Sebastian Vettel , the World Drivers ' Championship leader , after he started from pole position . Jenson Button finished in second place for McLaren , and Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third position for Ferrari .   As a consequence of the race , Vettel extended his lead in the World Drivers ' Championship to 112 points over Alonso , who moved up to second place in the championship . Button moved into third place in the championship , five points behind Alonso , and level on points with fourth-placed Mark Webber , but ahead on countback . In the World Constructors ' Championship , Red Bull 's championship lead was cut by McLaren to 126 points , with Ferrari a further 71 points behind in third position .

neg: 2001 Brazilian Grand Prix The 2001 Brazilian Grand Prix ( formally the XXX Grande Prêmio Marlboro do Brasil ) was a Formula One motor race held on 1 April 2001 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace , São Paulo , Brazil . It was the third race of the 2001 Formula One season . The 71-lap race was won by McLaren driver David Coulthard after starting from fifth position . Michael Schumacher finished second in a Ferrari with Nick Heidfeld third for the Sauber team .   The race was Coulthard 's first win of the season , and the result meant he reduced the lead of Schumacher in the Drivers ' Championship to six points along with moving up to second place , 10 points ahead of Rubens Barrichello . McLaren reduced the lead to Ferrari in the Constructors ' Championship to 15 points , with 14 races of the season remaining .

neg: 1990 Spanish Grand Prix The 1990 Spanish Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 30 September 1990 at Jerez . It was the 31st Spanish Grand Prix and the fifth and last time the Grand Prix was held at the Jerez circuit before moving to a new larger facility near Barcelona in Catalunya , though it was not the last time Formula One raced here ; F1 returned twice in the 1990s for a race titled the European Grand Prix .   Ferrari drivers dominated the race with reigning world champion Alain Prost leading his teammate Nigel Mansell home by 22 seconds for a 1-2 finish . British Team Lotus driver Martin Donnelly had a horrific crash during Friday practice at the very fast Turn 14 ; the seat of his Lotus 102 broke free and was flung clear of the wreck . Donnelly received serious injuries that took months of recovery , bringing an end to his Formula One career , although he later returned to racing . Team Lotus decided not to retire from the race , and Derek Warwick was close to the point-scoring positions when he became the race 's final retirement on lap 63 with a broken gearbox in the other Lotus 102 .   The race also turned out to be the last race of Alessandro Nannini 's Formula One career . Nannini claimed the final podium position of the race in his Benetton B190 , the ninth podium of his career , finishing ahead of the Williams pair of Thierry Boutsen and Riccardo Patrese . One week after the race , his right arm was severed in a helicopter accident . Nannini recovered and returned to racing as a touring car driver .   At the start of the race , Gerhard Berger , desperate to move up from his fifth place on the grid , gave Jean Alesi no room , resulting in Alesi moving to the outside , where he was hit and put out of the race by Riccardo Patrese .   The Larrousse-Lola of Aguri Suzuki claimed the final championship point of the race , continuing an encouraging season for the French team . It was an encouraging race for another French team , Yannick Dalmas and Gabriele Tarquini both qualified in AGS JH25s in a first for the team , but AGS never again got two cars onto a Formula One grid . Dalmas finished in ninth position , the highlight of the season for the small French team . The ninth-placed finish saved the team from pre-qualifying for the first half of 1991 as it moved them up to a crucial 14th place in the Constructors Championship . As a consequence , Scuderia Italia dropped into pre-qualifying , as they failed to finish higher than 10th all season .   McLaren driver Ayrton Senna 's lap 53 retirement with a failed radiator reduced his lead in the world championship over Prost to nine points with just the Japanese and Australian Grands Prix remaining in the season .

neg: GTR – FIA GT Racing Game GTR -- FIA GT Racing Game is a sports car racing simulator developed by SimBin Studios ( later Sector3 Studios ) for the x86 PC . An Xbox version was announced very early on , but never materialized . In April 2006 , an Xbox 360 version was announced . The Xbox 360 version of the game was to be published by THQ . However , THQ later announced they would no longer be working together with Simbin on the title . Race Pro was released for the Xbox 360 in February 2009 .   As a racing simulator , it attempts to recreate real-world physics as accurately as possible , rather than exaggerating speed and handling abilities for the sake of easier gameplay . Some games that compare to the realism featured in GTR include Grand Prix Legends , Live for Speed and F1 Challenge . It has a full license from the FIA for their GT championship , so it features the original FIA GT Series cars and courses . All tracks were constructed from satellite data to improve accuracy , and the developers were helped by many teams in the GT - and NGT-classes . The game engine produces and outputs telemetry data in a format that is usable by the telemetry software i2 by MoTeC -- a software tool used by real racing teams .   The game has three modes , one with full realism and the two others with reduced levels of realism for intermediate players and newcomers . The user is provided with a great deal of control over the setup of the car , e.g. dampers , springs , anti-roll bars , gear ratios , wings and brake pressure can be adjusted in detail .   Although the user is allowed to map the controls to e.g. a keyboard or joystick/gamepad , a wheel/pedal set is really a requirement for a complete racing experience . GTR fully supports the TrackIR device . StarForce copy protection is used to prevent illegal copies of the game from being produced .   Some consider the graphics to be only mediocre whilst others praise the attention to detail in both car modelling and texturing . What is certain is that GTR does lack some effects seen in contemporary games . However , GTR does enable the player to participate in races with over 60 competitors . The game has been criticized numerous times for poor Netcode which often can result in an online game failing during the start . GTR also suffers from virtually no automatic enforcement of rules and regulations , and so `` fair racing '' is only seen by a few on public servers . The open nature of multiplayer sessions makes it easy for a single player to cause disruption for other players , or even to ruin the entire race . Consequently , joining a GTR league or community often proves beneficial for players who wish to participate in clean online racing . GTR 's rating has been suffered by the comparatively long amount of time needed to load a race .

neg: 1994 Hungarian Grand Prix The 1994 Hungarian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 14 August 1994 at the Hungaroring , Budapest . It was the tenth race of the 1994 Formula One season .   The race was a comfortable victory for Michael Schumacher . Mika Häkkinen was suspended for the race after his involvement in the collision at the German Grand Prix . Häkkinen had already incurred a one race suspended ban for an accident with Rubens Barrichello at the British Grand Prix .   Häkkinen was replaced for this race by McLaren tester Phillipe Alliot .

neg: 1994 Formula One season The 1994 Formula One season was the 48th season of FIA Formula One motor racing . It featured the 1994 FIA Formula One World Championship which commenced on 27 March 1994 , and ended on 13 November after sixteen races . The season is remembered as one of the most tragic and controversial seasons in the sport 's history . 1994 was one of the closest championships in history as Michael Schumacher won the Drivers ' title by a single point from Damon Hill after the two controversially collided at the final round in Adelaide . Schumacher had built up a huge championship lead , winning six of the first seven races , before two disqualifications and a race ban allowed Hill to close the gap . British constructor Williams-Renault won the Constructors ' Championship . However , the 1994 season will also be remembered for the deaths of three-time World Champion Ayrton Senna and Austrian rookie Roland Ratzenberger at the San Marino Grand Prix . Forty-six drivers competed in the 1994 World Championship , including fourteen who made their F1 debut and numerous pay drivers . Mercedes-Benz also returned to the sport for the first time since 1955 as an engine supplier to Swiss team , Sauber . The season also saw the first win for Ferrari since 1990 -- whilst McLaren failed to win a single race following the departure of Senna , before embarking on a long-term partnership with Mercedes .

neg: 1991 Australian Grand Prix The 1991 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on 3 November 1991 at the Adelaide Street Circuit . It was the 16th and final race of the 1991 Formula One World Championship . Torrential rain resulted in the race being stopped after 16 of the scheduled 81 laps had been completed . Confusion caused the official results to be declared from the end of the 14th lap . It holds the record for being the shortest Formula One race ever held .   The race was won by Ayrton Senna , with Nigel Mansell in second position , and Gerhard Berger 's third-place finish plus Senna 's victory meant that the McLaren team clinched the Constructor 's championship . Mansell was unable to take part in the post race podium ceremony , following a crash at the end of the race that left him requiring hospital treatment . Gerhard Berger , Senna 's McLaren teammate , finished in third position . Because less than seventy-five percent of the scheduled race distance had been completed , only half the normal World Championship points were awarded . This was also the final Formula One race for three time World Champion Nelson Piquet . It was the 60th pole position for Ayrton Senna .

neg: Formula One Championship Edition Formula One Championship Edition is a racing video game , developed by SCE Studio Liverpool and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3 . The game follows the basic structure of Formula One 06 for the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable . The main differences include the updated visuals for the PS3 including a lot more detail , Sixaxis compatibility , real time reflections , car reflections on wet circuits and new wet weather effects . It was announced early in development that the safety car would be included in the game for the first time in an F1 game since Formula One 99 for the PlayStation . However , it was removed before the final release along with the PSP wing mirror integration shown at E3 .   The game also boasts dynamic weather , and improved AI . The AI system is called `` Live Action Racing '' where one can pressure the opposition , causing them to make little mistakes such as running wide on corners , causing them to crash into other cars or spin off the road of their own accord . The AI will then try to seek opportunities to pass the player in a realistic manner .   The game is based on the early 2006 F1 season . Hence , Yuji Ide drives for Super Aguri when in reality he lost his super licence just 4 races into the '06 season , and Franck Montagny , then later Sakon Yamamoto took his seat . Other minor changes throughout the real 2006 season are also not represented .   In the career mode , players begin by running tests for one of three teams ( Toro Rosso , Super Aguri or Midland F1 ) at either the Silverstone , Magny Cours or Catalunya circuits . The tests given vary between the teams . When the player successfully completes the tests , they are given the role of test driver or race driver , depending on how well the player performed in the test . After performing well as a test driver , the player will become the second driver of the team . From there the player can compete in race weekends through many different roles . As a test driver the player will try out different car settings in practice , and as a driver the player will have track position targets to meet to keep the seat . The player 's performances are subject to review at several points during the season .   The initial release did not include force-feedback support , which is considered by many to be an important feature for simulation racing games used with driving wheel controllers . A subsequent update in early 2008 added force feedback . The game also lacks support for 1080i or 1080p output resolutions . Per the calendar , the Belgian Grand Prix is not included .   The game 's cover in the North America version ( as seen on the right ) features Fernando Alonso ( the defending world champion at that time in 2006 ) who drove for the Renault team , Jenson Button who drove for the Honda team and David Coulthard who drove for the Red Bull Racing team .   Like previous games , it featured in-game commentary from then ITV F1 commentators Martin Brundle and James Allen .

neg: Sauber C8 The Sauber C8 was a Group C prototype race car introduced in 1985 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans as the first in a partnership between Sauber and Mercedes-Benz .   Mercedes decided not to put forth the money for a full effort on their own until they had time to develop the production-based M117 5.0 L Turbocharged V8 . Therefore , Mercedes turned to Sauber to create a chassis for them and initially to run the team before Mercedes took on a larger role . Sauber chose to evolve the previous C7 prototype for the C8 , although modifications were needed to house the larger V8 instead of the C7 's previous Inline-6 .   In its debut at the 1985 24 Hours of Le Mans , Sauber was able to qualify 17th . However , the car suffered an accident later in the race week that caused enough damage that the car was not able to participate in the race . The team promised to appear at a few more races in the World Sportscar Championship season , but never showed .   For 1986 , the team became known as Kouros Racing Team , and the C8 was entered in the full season of the 1986 World Sportscar Championship season . For the first two races the C8 showed promise , with an 8th and a 9th . However , later in the season two C8s were entered in the 1986 24 Hours of Le Mans where unfortunately neither car was able to finish . For the 1000km of Nürburgring , the team was able to achieve its first victory with drivers Henri Pescarolo and Mike Thackwell , made all the more important by being won in front of the Mercedes-Benz executives in attendance . With this victory the Kouros Racing Team was able to end the season 5th in the teams championship .   In 1987 , the Kouros team switched to the newer Sauber C9 , while C8 chassis # 2 was sold to privateer French team Noël del Bello , which entered the 1987 24 Hours of Le Mans and 1000km of Nürburgring , but failed to finish either race . Noël del Bello continued into 1988 , but failed to finish any of the races it entered again .

neg: Michael May (racing driver) Michael May ( born 18 August 1934 in Stuttgart , Germany ) is a former racing driver from Switzerland . He participated in three Formula One World Championship Grands Prix , debuting on 14 May 1961 . He scored no championship points .   After a crash during practice for the 1961 German Grand Prix , May concentrated on engineering , helping to develop a fuel injection system for Porsche and Ferrari .   May is generally credited with introducing the first manipulated elevated wing onto a racing car - a Porsche 550 - to produce downforce ( or down thrust ) for enhanced braking and cornering speeds to reduce lap times .   He also worked in designing high-compression engines , improving fuel economy among other things . The most notable example was his reworked ` Fireball ' head for the ` high-efficiency ' high-compression Jaguar V-12 HE engine .

neg: 2004 Formula One season The 2004 Formula One season was the 58th season of FIA Formula One motor racing . It featured the 2004 FIA Formula One World Championship , which was contested over an eighteen event series which ran from 7 March to 24 October 2004 . The championship was dominated by Michael Schumacher and Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro with the German driver winning the Drivers ' Championship for the fifth consecutive year since 2000 and the Italian constructor winning the Constructors ' Championship for the sixth straight season since 1999 . Also notable were the success of BAR and Renault , and the relatively poor performance of Williams and McLaren .   Michael Schumacher won 12 of the first 13 races and eventually scored 13 race victories , breaking his own record of 11 race wins in a season , set in 2002 . He also won a record seventh Drivers ' Championship with his teammate Rubens Barrichello winning two of the last four races and finishing second in the title . Jenson Button , though failing to win a grand prix , secured ten podium finishes and one pole position to finish third in the Drivers ' Championship . Along with Japanese teammate Takuma Sato , Button delivered BAR an impressive second place in the Constructors ' Championship behind Ferrari .   Four of the ten teams , Ferrari , Renault , Jaguar , and Toyota , were subsidiaries of major car companies and one , BAR , was a division of a tobacco company . Williams and McLaren , both privately owned teams , had engine supply agreements with major car companies , BMW and Mercedes-Benz respectively , and Honda produced engines for BAR . The other three teams , Jordan , Sauber and Minardi , were also privately owned but received little substantial sponsorship , and consequently tended to end up toward the back of the grid . Sauber received Ferrari engines badged under the Petronas name , and also received sponsorship from the Malaysian oil and gas company .   This season saw the Minardi team score their first points since 2002 , with Zsolt Baumgartner finishing 8th at the 2004 United States Grand Prix .   The 2004 Canadian Grand Prix was a very dramatic race . First , Timo Glock replaced Giorgio Pantano in this race , due to personal circumstances for Pantano . Then , Williams and Toyota were excluded from the race due to an irregularity in the brake ducts . That meant the Jordan team was the main beneficiary of the disqualifications , with Nick Heidfeld and Timo Glock both scoring points , Glock in his debut Formula One race . Immediately before the 2004 Chinese Grand Prix , Giorgio Pantano was dropped by the Jordan team and Timo Glock replaced him for the last 3 races .   Ralf Schumacher had a difficult season . He suffered a massive accident during the 2004 United States Grand Prix and was out of action for 6 races . Marc Gené and Antônio Pizzonia replaced him during his absence .   Jarno Trulli 's relationship with the Renault team deteriorated after his first victory at the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix . He left the team after the 2004 Italian Grand Prix , which was also Pantano 's last race for the Jordan team . Former world champion Jacques Villeneuve replaced Jarno Trulli at Renault for the final 3 races . Trulli missed the 2004 Chinese Grand Prix , but he returned in the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix and the 2004 Brazilian Grand Prix with the Toyota team . That meant the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix was Jarno Trulli 's first race with the new team .   Cristiano da Matta 's string of disappointing results during the season led to his replacement by test driver Ricardo Zonta from Hungary onwards except the 2004 Japanese Grand Prix . Da Matta did not race for Toyota again and in 2005 he returned to Champ Car racing .   This was Olivier Panis 's last season as he decided to retire from the race seat after 2004 Japanese Grand Prix . However he stayed with the Toyota team , as the test driver .   2004 was the final season for Jaguar Racing and engine manufacturer Ford , as they both withdrew from Formula One at the end of the year .   This season saw all ten teams score at least one World Championship point .   From the 2004 season onward , all teams which had not finished in the top four in the previous year 's Constructors ' Championship were allowed to run a third car in the Friday practice session before each grand prix , for testing purposes . Other teams were also permitted to have test drivers , although they were not allowed to compete in Friday practice . Sauber chose not to run its third driver in these sessions because of the added expense .

neg: Bahrain Grand Prix The Bahrain Grand Prix is a Formula One Championship race in Bahrain sponsored by Gulf Air . The first race took place at the Bahrain International Circuit on 4 April 2004 . It made history as the first Formula One Grand Prix to be held in the Middle East , and was given the award for the `` Best Organised Grand Prix '' by the FIA .   The Bahrain Grand Prix has usually been the third race of the Formula One calendar . However , in the 2006 season , Bahrain swapped places with the traditional opener , the Australian Grand Prix , which was pushed back to avoid a clash with the Commonwealth Games . In 2010 , Bahrain staged the opening race of the 2010 season and the cars drove the full 6.299 km `` Endurance Circuit '' to celebrate F1 's ` diamond jubilee ' .   The 2011 Grand Prix , due to be held on 13 March , was cancelled on 21 February due to the 2011 Bahraini protests after drivers including Damon Hill and Mark Webber had protested .   Human rights activists called for a cancellation of 2012 race due to reports of alleged human rights abuses committed by the Bahraini authorities . Team personnel also voiced concerns about safety , but the race , nonetheless , was held as planned on 22 April 2012 .   In 2014 , to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the first staging of the Bahrain Grand Prix , the race was held as a night event under floodlights . In so doing it became the second Formula One night race after the Singapore Grand Prix in 2008 . Bahrain 's inaugural night event was won by Lewis Hamilton .
