The story of Formula 1 begins in the early 20th century, emerging from the desire for speed, innovation, and the thrill of competition. Post-War 2, as countries rebuilt and technology advanced rapidly, motorsport organizations sought to create a premier racing category that would showcase engineering brilliance and daredevil driving. The official inception of what we know as Formula 1 took shape in the 1950 season, when the FIA established the World Championship Grand Prix series.
