Formula 1: World Champions

2 Conversations

The modern era of Formula One is considered to have begun in 1950 with the holding of the first World Championship organized since the failed attempt at a championship in the 1920s. The drivers title has been contested every year since then and in 1958 a Constructors Championship was added for the teams and engine builders. This list is up to date through the 2003 season.
