Formula 1

The Formula One series arose from the European Grand Prix motor racing championships of the 1920s and 1930s. The formula is a set of rules that all cars in the competition must follow. Formula One was a new formula that was agreed upon in 1946, and the first non-championship races were held that year. The 1946 Turin Grand Prix was the first Formula One race. Before World War II, a number of Grand Prix racing organizations drafted criteria for a world championship, but due to the stoppage of racing during the conflict, the World Drivers' Championship did not become official until 1947. In 1950, the first world championship race took place at Silverstone, England.In 1950, Giuseppe Farina won the first World Championship for Drivers in his Alfa Romeo, barely defeating teammate Juan Manuel Fangio. Fangio, on the other hand, won the championship in 1951, 1954, 1955, 1956, and 1957. (his record of five World Championship titles stood for 45 years until Michael Schumacher took his sixth title in 2003). After an injury, two-time champion Alberto Ascari of Ferrari broke Fangio's streak.
