List Of Formula One Grands Prix
The following is a complete list of Grands Prix which have been a part of the FIA World Championship since its inception in 1950.

Major auto racing events are usually named Grands Prix (plural form of Grand Prix), a tradition dating back to the first decade of the 20th Century and the Grand Prix motor racing of the 1920s and 1930s. Formally, for a race to be called a Grand Prix, it should have a race distance of at least 300 km. This rule can be said for every Grand Prix which was ever on the Formula 1 calendar with the exception of the Monaco Grand Prix – which has a race of less than 300 km since 1968.
