History Formula 1

Formula One grew out of the European Motor Racing Championships that took place in the 1920s. By 1946 a formula had been agreed upon that began F1 as we know today.

Traditional circuits such as the famous Circuit de Monaco and Silverstone were amongst the first to hold grand prix races. Nowadays, more modern venues are included, particularly across Saudi Arabian tracks.

The summer break was introduced to allow the teams some guaranteed time off during the busy racing season.

The last four years in particular have seen a good blend of teams working hard both to advance the sport, and to ensure they're meeting sustainability objectives. Under the watchful eye of the world motor sport council, F1 is more exciting, and more future-proof than ever before.
