Great Britain 1950: the first race of the F1 world championship

Formula 1 reached the 1000 races of the world championship in the 2019 Chinese Grand Prix , a history that dates back to 1950, the year in which the highest category of motorsport played its first season with a calendar of just seven races, very different from the current ones that exceed 20 tests.

The end of the Second World War allowed the birth of the Formula 1 World Championship, with the establishment of a regulation in 1946 that prospered until the creation of the highest category and a first calendar with stops in Great Britain, Monaco, Indianapolis, Switzerland, Belgium. , France and Italy.

But Formula 1 was not born with that name. In fact, its first registration was International Formula, although it was also recognized in Europe as Formula A, a step higher than Formula 2 or Formula B.

The final name was adopted when Formula 500cc, a category of single-seaters with engines similar to those of a motorcycle, was officially recognized as Formula 3 in 1950, leaving Formula B to maintain the status of Formula 2 and placing Formula International as the top under the name of Formula 1.

The birth of the world

The first season started on May 13, 1950 at the Silverstone circuit, a track created on a former British Royal Air Force base and where 26 pilots met for the British Grand Prix.

The grill had some peculiarities. For example, that the average age of the pilots present was 39, with Geoffrey Crossley being the youngest at 29.

At his side were pilots of great experience such as Luigi Fagioli , Louis Chiron and Philippe Etancelin , who were over 50 years old. Giuseppe Farina was 43, while the Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio already had 38 springs.

But in addition to widely recognized pilots at the time, and who would later become historic figures of the sport, an important part of the world’s crème de la crème gathered , not only with the presence of his royal highness, King George VI , as well as Queen Elizabeth, Princess Margaret and guests Lord and Lady Mountbatten, but also for the participation on track of the Prince of Thailand Birabongse Bhanudej Bhanubandh, better known as Prince Bira, who ran a Maserati 4CLT/48. At his side was also the Swiss Baron Emmanuel ‘Toulo’ de Graffenried with the same car.

A well-known jazz musician, the Belgian Johnny Claes, also participated in the historic event behind the wheel of a Talbot-Lago T26C with which he finished the race six laps behind the winner.

The race

As expected, Alfa Romeo occupied the first four positions on the grid with its four factory cars. The Italians Giuseppe Farina and Luigi Fagioli took the first and second places, with a time of 1:50.8s for the poleman.

Argentine Juan Manuel Fangio and Reg Parnell completed the top four places for the Italian firm, followed by Principe Bira, who took his Maserati to fifth place.

With almost 120,000 fans, according to Formula 1 data, 21 drivers, representing nine countries, took the start of the first race in the history of the world championship.

Farina, Fagioli and Fangio occupied the top three positions for many laps, fighting for victory amongst themselves. However, the Argentine driver’s chances disappeared when an engine problem sidelined him on lap 62.

The South American’s incident opened the door for Farina, who led 63 of the 70 laps, to take victory 2.5 seconds ahead of Fagioli. Reg Parnell took advantage of Fangio’s retirement to escort the two Italians on the podium and complete Alfa Romeo’s treble.

The award was presented by George VI , marking the last time a sitting British monarch attended a Formula 1 race in his country.

With his victory, Farina achieved the first nine points of the championship, which would later become 30 after two more victories in Switzerland and Italy, enough to become the first Formula 1 champion, beating Juan Manuel Fangio by three points.

The points lead Lauda built in the first half of the season were lost after a horrific crash at the Nurburgring nearly cost him his life. p>

By deciding not to contest the last race at the Fuji circuit, Japan, due to the insecurity caused by the rain, Lauda lost the world championship with a difference of one point compared to Hunt, who finished the race in third place. p>

One of the “darkest” seasons in the history of Formula 1. p>

Conflicts between teammates, boycotts, incidents and political wars between FISA and FOCA.

Several teams defending the FOCA (Formula 1 Manufacturers Association) boycotted the San Marino GP, resulting in only 14 cars taking part in the event. p>

The race itself saw a conflict between two Ferrari drivers, Gilles Villeneuve and Didier Pironi. p>

Villeneuve had a fatal accident in qualifying for the Belgian GP at Zolder after crashing into the rear of Jochen Mass’s car and being thrown into the air. p>

The tragedy did not end there: the young Italian driver, Ricardo Paletti, also lost his life after colliding with Pironi’s car that stopped at the start of the Canadian GP at the Gilles Villeneuve circuit (previously called Notre Dame) p>

Arriving in Germany with a 9-point lead, Pironi had a terrible accident at the Hockenheimring that damaged his leg and forced him to end his Formula 1 career. p>

With the conflict experienced by Ferrari, the technical problems experienced by Renault, Keke Rosberg and Williams used it to win the drivers’ title in the 1982 season with a 5-point lead over Pironi. p>

This title is also the last for Cosworth’s DFV engine, which has dominated Formula 1 since 1968. p>

Schumacher failed to finish the race, while Villeneuve finished third and secured the title. p>
