History

A Tale of Speed

Formula 1 is a sport of rich history, giving birth to timeless legends who proved their mettle through countless races and seasons. With its first championship race taking place on May 1950 at Silverstone . Unlike the current sport consisting of many formalities to be able to race, the early races of Formula 1 had many different individuals who bought cars to race. However, pre-war manufacturers such as Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, and Mercedes Benz saw great success in the sport. Throughout the years, there have been many major changes in the sport in its every aspect. From being a sport where anyone can join provided they have a car, to a more formal sport where tremendous amounts of funding and personnel are needed to even compete, Formula 1 is now a sport that is more complex than what most people imagine it to be. This website discusses these changes and components and how each of them impact the sport as a whole.
