Formula One (commonly abbreviated to F1 and often written as Formula 1) is the premier open-wheel single-seater racing competition in the world. Debuting in 1946, with the first World Championship contested in 1950, the formula is governed by the FIA, and falls subject to the contractual terms of the Concorde Agreement.

Currently, the Formula One World Championship is contested by 10 teams, each with at least 2 primary drivers and a reserve/test driver, over a total of 23 rounds, better known as a Grand Prix. Up to 34 points are awarded to the winner in each event, and the driver with the most points at the end of the season wins the Drivers' World Championship. Points acquired by a team's drivers will count towards the Constructors' World Championship.

Regulations

F1 operates under two sets of rules: the FIA Technical Regulations and FIA Sporting Regulations, each formed and governed by the FIA. The Technical Regulations define the structure, design and performance of cars and equipment used by teams in Formula One. The Sporting Regulations determine the rules and regulations of Grand Prix racing.

Also of note is the Concorde Agreement, a contractual agreement between the teams and the FIA which contains details of membership fees, prize money and other financial terms. The terms of this agreement, which is the eighth of its type, is a highly guarded secret. The most recent agreement, which is the first made under new owners, Liberty Media, will cover the 2021 to 2025 seasons.

Calendar Changes

The Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari will be replaced by the Circuito de Madring for the 2026 season, with the new Spanish circuit contracted to remain on the calendar until 2035.

Because of the unsafe conditions in the middle east which is caused by the war in Iran, it has been confirmed that they will not race in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia over the spring. But the FIA president has also been out and said that they (FIA) will still want to return, so it is not a finite goodbye to the two races.^[1]
