How many Grands Prix are held every year?
The 1950 Championship consisted of only 7 Grands Prix. This figure gradually increased, peaking at 17 in 1977. It was then limited to 16, but the possibility of holding a maximum of 17 events was reintroduced in 1996. A minimum of eight events must take place for the World Champion Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles to be awarded. More than 600 Formula One World Championship races have been held since 1950.
