Formula1.com is the official site of Formula 1 racing.
It's a great place to start looking for current F1 information, and it's a great place to start looking back into F1 history. I've also found Wikipedia to be a treasure trove of F1 info.
First off, "Formula 1" is the name of the RULES governing the sport. Before I became a fan I was under the mistaken belief that this "formula" was a fuel mixture or some such thing... oops. The rules of F1 are the recipe, or formula, that helps to make it the safest yet fastest and most exciting race on four wheels. The rules are set by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile or FIA.
The FIA started out as the Association Internationale des Automobile Clubs Reconnus (AIACR) in 1904 in Paris, France, where it is still headquartered today. The purpose of the FIA is to standardize rules for various forms of racing so competitors might stand on equal footing wherever races are held.
