1960 - Indianapolis 500

The history of Formula One has its roots in the European Grand Prix motor racing of the 1920s and 1930s. However, the foundation of Formula One began in 1946 with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's (FIA) standardisation of rules. A World Drivers' Championship followed in 1950.
