History
After the Second World War in which stopped the European Drivers Championship after the 1939 season, the first Formula rules which were created in 1946 and was run at the Turin Grand Prix. Once the formation of the World Drivers Championship was revealed in the 1948 Grand Prix season, the creation of the brand new championship would occur in 1950. The first season of the new series started on the 13th May 1950 with the British Grand Prix being held at Silverstone. In the first season, Alfa Romeo dominated the opening season with Giuseppe Farina taking out the season after winning the last race of the season held at the Italian Grand Prix.

In the second season, the race came down to the final round which was held in Spain with three drivers having a shot at the title but after Juan Manuel Fangio took out the victory, he would win the championship by six points from his nearest challenger in fellow Argentine, José Froilán González. The following season was all about Alberto Ascari as he won the five races that he entered in, to take out the title for Ferrari as they won the constructors championship which was in play for the first time.
