Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class ofopen-wheeledauto racing series managed by theFédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.[1] The "formula" in the name alludes to a series of FIA rules to which all participants and vehicles are required to conform.[1][2] TheFormula One World Championship season consists of a series of races around the world, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-builtcircuits, and in a few cases onclosed city streets.[3] Each Grand Prix meeting lasts three days with either one or three practice sessions before a three-part qualifying session on Saturday to set the starting order for Sunday's race. A Saturday sprint is held at select events, with the starting grid determined by a separate, shorter qualifying session held on Friday.[4][5] Grands Prix are frequently named after the country, region or city in which they are raced,[6] and in some seasons, nations have hosted more than one event.[7] Should Formula One hold two or more races in the same nation in the same year, on either a different or the same track, then their names will be different.[8] The results of each Grand Prix held throughout the season are combined to decide two annual championships,one for drivers andone for constructors.[9]
Grand Prix distance regulations have varied throughout Formula One history.[10][11] Between1950 and1957, events ran for more than 300 km (190 mi) or three hours.[11] In1958, race lengths were set between 300 and 500 km (190 and 310 mi) or two hours.[12] It was reduced to between 300 and 400 km (190 and 250 mi) from1966 with an established maximum length of 321.87 km (200.00 mi) in1971. From1973 to1980, races had to last either 321.87 km (200.00 mi) or two hours, whichever came first. Distances of between 250 and 320 km (160 and 200 mi) or two hours were used from1981 to1984. The minimum distance was revised to 300 km (190 mi) including theformation lap in 1984 and the maximum length was standardised at 305 km (190 mi) in1989.[a][10] The exception to the rule is theMonaco Grand Prix, which has a scheduled length of at least 260 km (160 mi). No race can last more than two hours if it goes unhalted.[14] From2012, the maximum permitted race time including probable stoppages was four hours,[14] before being reduced to three hours for2021.[15]
TheBritish Grand Prix andItalian Grand Prix are the most frequently held events in the Formula One World Championship with 76 editions each since the races first formed a part of the series in 1950, followed by the Monaco Grand Prix which has been held 71 times, all on the same course, theCircuit de Monaco. Italy'sMonza Circuit has hosted the most Grands Prix on any circuit with 75. The Circuit de Monaco is second with 71 events and theSilverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom is third with 60 races.[16][17] Austria, Bahrain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States have all held two Grands Prix in various seasons;[18] the United States (1982,2023 and2024) and Italy (2020) are the only countries to have hosted three races during a season.[19][20] Italy has held the most Grands Prix with 109 since its first in 1950. Only Morocco has staged just one Grand Prix. The most recent addition was theLas Vegas Grand Prix in2023.[21]
As of the2025 São Paulo Grand Prix, 1,146 World Championship events have been held over 76 seasons in 34 countries and under 54 race titles at 77 racing circuits.[16][21][19] These figures include theIndianapolis 500 races which were a part of the World Championships from1950 until1960 despite not being named a Grand Prix.[22] The1950 British Grand Prix was the first Formula One World Championship Grand Prix.[23] Not included in this list are non-championship Grands Prix held to Formula One regulations from1946 to1983 and as part of each of theBritish Formula One Championship and theSouth African Formula One Championship.[17][19]
