On May 13, 1950, the first Formula One Grand Prix race was held at the Silverstone Circuit in England. This inaugural race marked the beginning of the modern era of Formula One racing. The event was part of the newly established FIA World Championship of Drivers, which would later be renamed the Formula One World Championship.
The race at Silverstone was attended by thousands of spectators and featured a field of talented drivers competing in open-wheel racing cars. Giuseppe Farina, driving for Alfa Romeo, won the race, setting the stage for what would become one of the most prestigious and popular motorsport championships in the world.
Since that historic race in 1950, Formula One has evolved into a global phenomenon, attracting millions of fans and featuring races on circuits across the globe. The sport continues to captivate audiences with its high-speed action, cutting-edge technology, and fiercely competitive drivers and teams.
