Where Did the Race Cars Come From?
The idea for these speedy races started a long, long time ago, even before your grandparents were born! Back in the 1920s and 1930s, people in Europe loved watching cars race. But the Formula One we know today really began in 1946.
That's when smart people made up the official rules. Then, in 1950, they had the very first World Championship for the drivers. It was like the first big official race to see who was the best!
