Cool F1 Database

I am a big Formula 1 fan and I am thinking about creating a F1 database. However, I can't decide which is the best way to store the data. I'd like to do multiple tables and use normalization. Although I have never made databases that have more than 1 or 2 tables.

Would all the tables be included in a form and would how would I manipulate it so that one record would appear as one drivers race/season, or all the drivers in one race etc.

Obviously I want to store it in the best way possible so that I can easily pull out relevant data in queries. My knowledge of Access is relatively limited so any help you could give me would be appreciated.

you'd need one table to store just the races and assign a autonumber field as well i.e.

1 Germany
2 Japan
3 UK etc

then one table to store all the drivers names i.e.

1. R Schumacher
2. J Button etc

and then finally a table which stores the race id, the position finished and the driver id i.e.

Race ID, Position, Driver ID
1, 1, 1
1, 2, 5
1, 3, 3
1, 4, 2
1, 5, 4 etc
