Dále bych chtěla poděkovat mé rodině a blízkým za velkou trpělivost a podporu. Prohlášení: Prohlašuji, že jsem diplomovou práci vypracovala samostatně, že jsem řádně citovala všechny použité prameny a literaturu a že práce nebyla využita v rámci jiného vysokoškolského studia k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu. V Praze 4. 8. 2015 ……………………………………… Michaela Fendrychová Klíčová slova: Formule 1; Velká cena; dějiny automobilismu; Niki Lauda; James Hunt; Alain Prost; Ayrton Senna Keywords: Formula 1; Grand Prix; history of motor sport; Niki Lauda; James Hunt; Alain Prost; Ayrton Senna Anotace Diplomová práce se věnuje v českém prostředí prozatím opomíjeným dějinám sportu, konkrétně specifickému sportovnímu odvětví – závodům F1. Práce se soustředí na léta 1970–1994, neboť toto období ohraničují dva důležité mezníky v historii závodů F1, a to zisk titulu mistra světa in memoriam Jochenem Rindtem v roce 1970 a smrt Ayrtona Senny ve Velké ceně San Marina v Imole 1994. Práce bude hledat odpověď na otázky, proč tento sport získal ve zkoumaném období vzrůstající popularitu, jaký měla F1 společenský a ekonomický význam, jak pomohla dalšímu technologickému vývoji v oblasti automobilismu, proč se začala profesionalizovat, z jakých důvodů a do kterých států se začaly závody rozšiřovat.

Was it really 30 years ago that the Indy cars (or USAC cars as they were then known) came to Britain for the fi rst time? The British weather did its best to spoil John Webb’s great initiative and the fi rst three days were bedevilled by rain so that the race had to be postponed from Saturday to Sunday. But when they raced they did not disappoint with AJ Foyt, an Indianapolis legend if ever there was one, charging through from the fi fth row of the grid in his Coyote-Ford to be challenging Rick Mears in the Penske- Cosworth PC6 for the lead when the rain returned and the race was suspended. On the restart there was no stopping Anthony Joseph who surged past Rick into Stowe within a couple of laps and stayed ahead until the rain returned for a second time and that was that. Here we see the great man heading into the Woodcote chicane on his way to one of his rare wins in Europe. The small matter of the 1967 Le Mans 24 Hours (with Dan Gurney) was the other.

A comparison has been undertaken between car and bike racing, as represented by Formula One and MotoGp, to establish any differences in approach. The initial historical element of the research revealed that motor sport had been sponsored by vehicle manufacturers since the origins of the petrol combustion engine in the late 19th century. Any suggestion that sponsorship of motor sport is a recent, late 20th century science has been dispelled. The investigation found that the sponsors of top level car racing place major importance on achieving awareness for their brands through media exposure, particularly television.
