Formula One is the highest class of single-seat open-wheel motor racing sanctioned by the FIA. The series is currently operated by the FIA-run Formula Committee - having seized control of the championship from the former rights holder Formula One Management in 2020.

History

In Europe, the outbreak of World War II in 1939 brought about a hiatus in European motor racing. Following the conclusion of hostilities races, or Grands Prix, were once again being held, but each Grand Prix was contested in it's own right and did not form part of an over-arching World Championship. By 1950, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile decided to award World Championship status to the six most prestigious Grands Prix taking place each year. Initially, only European events were deemed worthy of World Championship status, with the Indianapolis 500 being added to the calendar in an attempt to garner American interest in Grand Prix motor racing.

The inaugural world championship, won by Giuseppe Farina for the Alfa Romeo team, was a roaring success. Subsequently, interest in Grand Prix motor racing exploded, with the calendar swelling to encompass 11 global events by 1958. In addition to the World Driver's Championship, a World Constructor's Championship for manufacturers and a World Entrant's Championships for car owners were added by 1952.

Motorsport historians have categorised the history of the sport into seven distinct chapters, or eras:

  • The Tubular Era (1950 - ????): Named for the steel tubes that formed the sub-frames of the cars of the era;
  • The Garagiste Era (???? - ????): Named for the demise of the manufacturer teams of the Tubular Era and the rise of independent, privateer teams;
  • The Turbo Era (1976-1986): Named for the introduction of turbocharged engine technology into the sport;
  • The Revolutionary Era (1987-1997): Named for the sweeping changes that occurred in all aspects of the sport during the era;
  • The Manufacturer Era (1998-2009): Named for the manufacturer teams that once again dominated the sport;
  • The Two-Race Era (2010-2019): Named for the shake-up in the format by the FIA which saw events hold two shorter Grands Prix instead of the traditional one;
  • The Hydrogen Era (2020-Present): Named for the introduction of radical Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology into the sport by the FIA.
