{{Formula One}}


The '''[[Formula One]] World Championship''' is awarded by the [[FIA]] to the most successful driver ('''World Drivers' Championship''' or '''WDC''') and constructor ('''World Constructors' Championship''' or '''WCC'''), as determined by a pointscoring system based on results over the season. The WDC has been awarded every season since [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], and the WCC has been awarded every season since [[1958 Formula One season|1958]].

Before 1991 a driver could not count all of his results towards the championship - in the first season 4 races out of 7 were counted, and in the era of 16-race seasons, only 11 resutls from 16 counted. This was most significant in 1988, when [[McLaren]] drivers [[Alain Prost]] and [[Ayrton Senna]] were dominant. Prost finished 14 races in either first or second, retiring from the other two, while Senna won 8 races to Prost's 7, meaning that he only needed 3 further 2nd places to secure the championship irrespective of Prost's other results. This resulted in the anomaly that Prost took a record number of points, yet was not champion.

The exact points system has varied over the years. Originall the top 5 finishers scored 8-6-4-3-2 and the driver setting the fastest lap scored 1, but this was changed to 9-6-4-3-2-1 for the top 6 in 1960. 1991 saw a change to 10 points for a win, while in 2003 the championship started awarding points to the top 8 finishers, 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1. This has allowed more teams to score points regularly, and produced a more representative middle section of the standings, but (as demonstrated in 2005) it makes finishing race smuch more important). Under the old points system [[Fernando Alonso]] would still need another podium finish to secure the championship, as of following the Brazillian race.

The first World Drivers' Champion was [[Italy|Italian]] [[Nino Farina]], the first World Constructors' Champion was [[Vanwall]]. The first driver to score multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]] in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]]. [[Germany|German]] driver [[Michael Schumacher]] has won the most Drivers' Championships (seven) and [[Scuderia Ferrari]] have won the most Constructors' Championships (fourteen).

====Notes====
:<font size="+1">*</font>  Indicates the team also won the [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|Constructors' Championship]] (awarded since [[1958 Formula One season|1958]]).
# <small>1</small> Fangio shared the win of the [[1951 French Grand Prix]] with [[Luigi Fagioli]].
# <small>2</small> Fangio competed in the 1954 [[1954 Argentine Grand Prix|Argentine]] and [[1954 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian]] Grands Prix with [[Maserati]], then completed the season with [[Mercedes-Benz in motorsport|Mercedes]].
# <small>3</small> Fangio shared the win of the [[1956 Argentine Grand Prix]] with [[Luigi Musso]].
# <small>4</small> Fangio shared 2nd position in the 1956 [[1956 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] and [[1956 Italian Grand Prix|Italian]] Grands Prix with [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]].
# <small>5</small> Hill won the Championship at the [[1961 Italian Grand Prix]], where teammate [[Wolfgang von Trips]] died after an accident in the race.
# <small>6</small> Surtees became the first person to win World Championships on [[motorcycle]]s and cars, having previously won seven titles in both 350cc and 500cc.
# <small>7</small> Rindt died during practice for the [[1970 Italian Grand Prix]], but his Championship was not confirmed until two rounds later, making him Formula One's first (and only) posthumous World Drivers' Champion.
# <small>8</small> Andretti became Champion after teammate [[Ronnie Peterson]] died following an operation due to a collision at the [[1978 Italian Grand Prix]].
# <small>9</small> Narrowest margin of victory ever, after half points were awarded at [[1984 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] due to early finish because of bad weather.
# <small>10</small> [[Ayrton Senna]] won the [[1989 Japanese Grand Prix]], but was disqualified for cutting the [[chicane]] after receiving a push-start from track-side marshalls. [[Team McLaren|McLaren]] appealed the decision but lost, handing Prost the title. 
# <small>11</small> Damon Hill is the son of Graham Hill, who won the Drivers' Championship in [[1962 Formula One season|1962]] and [[1968 Formula One season|1968]], making them the first father-son pair to both win Drivers' Championships.
# <small>12</small> [[Michael Schumacher]] scored 78 points during the [[1997 Formula One season|1997 season]], only 3 points behind Villeneuve. However, Schumacher was disqualified from the championship for colliding with Villeneuve at the final race of the season, the [[1997 European Grand Prix|European Grand Prix]].
