Formula 1
The FIA Formula One World Championship is the pinnacle of single-seater motor racing, contested across 22 Grands Prix on five continents. Eleven teams, each running two cars, compete simultaneously for the Drivers' and Constructors' championships under a set of regulations that changes with every generation.
History
Formula 1 was formally constituted in 1950 with the inaugural World Drivers' Championship, won by Giuseppe Farina at the wheel of an Alfa Romeo. Through the following decades it evolved from front-engined roadsters to the ground-effect, turbo, and hybrid eras that define the sport today. The commercial era brought global television audiences in the hundreds of millions and Grands Prix on every inhabited continent. 2026 marks a watershed moment: an entirely new power unit formula — still over 1,000 bhp but with roughly equal contributions from internal combustion and an electric motor — paired with new active aerodynamics. Two new constructors, Audi (via the former Sauber entry) and Cadillac, expand the grid to eleven teams for the first time since 2016.
