Formula 1 racing is a development of modern car racing that has a series of events which are participated in using formula 1 cars. A series of races involving the use of such cars is are known as Formula 1 Grand Prix. The history of formula1 racing can trace its roots to the pre-1947 racing events of 1920s and 30s. The formula came up as a set of rules that the drivers of formula 1 racing have to adhere to. These rules were set in 1946 after the Second World War, and agreed upon to govern formula 1 racing events. The first non championship event was held the same year.

The first championship race event was held in 1950, four years after the setting of the formula rules at Silverstone in the UK. In 1958, a constructor’s championship followed. During the 1960s and the 1970s there were several national races in the UK and in South Africa. There were a series of other non-championship races in several parts of the world after that but they stopped in 1983 due to the increased cost of such races. The winner of the first World Championship was Giuseppe Farina, who won the race in his Romeo. He was almost tying with his teammate ...
... from Argentina, Juan Manuel Fangio. Juan however later took the title and had five titles in championships between 1951 and 1757. This record remained until 2003 when Michael Schumacher, a German driver took it, after 45 years. Fangio is in the books for having dominated the first decade of the grand prix f1 (f1 grand prix) racing. He is viewed as the grand master of formula 1.

Since the first f1 season, evolution of f1 racing has taken a variety of dimensions. For instance, unlike the first decade that was dominated by cars belonging to Alfa Romeo, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari and Maserati, many other companies have come up, offering more developed cars. The cars which participated in most races in the first decade had competed before the war. The cars had a front engine and narrow tires and were a bit big. Later on, these cars were advanced into more developed smaller cars with more advanced engines. Such cars had better features like fuel injections and desmodromic valves. Formula one racing titles have been competed for over the years and taken up by various drivers. Today, the formule 1 en streaming (Formula 1 streaming) season has highly competitive cars with advanced controllability.
