Believe it or not, but the first-ever Formula 1 race was not the 1950 British Grand Prix.

By 1950, the old pre-war European Drivers' Championship of 1931-1938 had been given a reboot, and the FIA Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship was inaugurated, with seven races in that year's F1 calendar selected to count for the drivers' title.

Victory for Oscar Piastri last time out in Miami was his third successive grand prix victory, the first time a McLaren driver has achieved the feat in 27 years. On that occasion, Mika Hakkinen won the 1997 season finale in Jerez before going on to win the 1998 season-opener in Australia, following it up with his third win on the trot in Brazil en route to claiming his first world title.
