Pinnacle of Racing - F1 Championship Explained
Formula 1 is sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and owned by the Formula One Group. The Formula 1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grand Prix, which are competed worldwide on purpose-built circuits and public roads.
The Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship (WDC) is awarded to the most successful Formula 1 racing car driver over a season, as determined by a points system based on individual Grand Prix results. This has been considered the premier racing series since its debut season in 1950, which was won by Giuseppe Farina. The first driver to win multiple Championships was Alberto Ascari, in 1952 and 1953.
Since its start, 33 different drivers have won the Championship, with Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from 2000 to 2004. The United Kingdom has produced the most Champions overall (10), with Brazil, Germany and Finland next with three each.
