1950's 1960's 1970's 1980's 1990's 2000's 2010's 2020's

History of F1

F1 has its roots in pre-war era regulations. First defined by the Commission Sportive Internationale (CSI) in 1946 as the premier single-seater racing category in worldwide motorsport to become effective in 1947.

1950's

1950 marks the inaugural season of F1. The first-ever Formula 1 World Championship race was the 1950 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and was won by Giuseppe "Nino" Farina in an Alfa Romeo. Consequently, he was also the first ever F1 champion.
In 1955, Mercedes left the sport after the 1955 Le Mans disaster and would be absent for 54 years as a factory team.
