Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheel racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.[1] The formula in the name alludes to a series of rules established by the FIA to which all participants and vehicles are required to conform.[1][2] Each year, the F1 World Championship season is held, consisting of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets.[3] Constructors are awarded points based on the finishing position of each of their two drivers at each Grand Prix, and the constructor who accumulates the most points over each championship is crowned that year's World Constructors' Champion.[4] As of the 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix, there have been 172 Formula One constructors who have raced at least one of the 1,122 FIA World Championship races since the first such event, the 1950 British Grand Prix.[5][6]

Constructors are people or corporate entities which design key parts of Formula One cars that have competed or are intended to compete in the FIA World Championship. Since 1981, it has been a requirement that each competitor must have the exclusive rights to the use of certain key parts of their car; in 2018, these parts were the survival cell, the front impact structure, the roll structures and bodywork.[7]

Ferrari holds the record for the most Constructors' and Drivers' Championships won with sixteen and fifteen, respectively.[8][9] Ferrari also holds the record for the most wins by a constructor with 248,[10] the most pole positions with 253,[11] the most points with 10229,[12] and the most podiums with 825.[13] Ferrari has also entered more Grands Prix than any other constructor with 1097 entries and also maintains the record for the most Grand Prix starts with 1095.[14] The most recent constructor to make their debut was RB, which debuted at the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix.[15]
