List of Formula 1 world champions
The following lists provide an overview of all Formula 1 world champions (until 1980: automobile world champions ) for drivers and designers.
The Formula 1 world championship title is awarded annually by the International Automobile Federation FIA to the driver or designer who has collected the most world championship points during the season. The points are awarded according to a fixed point system for each World Championship run. The world championship was announced for the first time in 1950 - initially only as a driver’s championship - under the name Automobile World Championship , the first title holder was the Italian Giuseppe Farina in an Alfa Romeo . The scoring for designers was not introduced until the 1958 season . The British manufacturer Vanwall won the first title .
The constructors' championship was deliberately only announced for manufacturers taking part in the world championship. Companies were defined as manufacturers that build the racing car chassis themselves and do not buy it. Until the 1970s, it was customary and allowed to take part in the world championship as a team without appearing as a designer yourself. An example of this is the Tyrrell team, which initially entered Formula 1 in the 1968 season with a purchased Matra chassis and did not start with an in-house design until the 1970 season. In 1969 Tyrrell won the Drivers 'Championship with Jackie Stewart , but the constructors' title went to Matra.
Up to the 2019 season, 33 different drivers in 70 seasons and 15 constructors in 62 seasons had won the Formula 1 world championship. The record holder among the drivers is Michael Schumacher with seven overall victories, while Ferrari holds the team record with 16 titles.

3 The number of points corresponds to the points evaluated for the World Cup, not the points actually achieved; until 1990 there were still deletion results .
4 The automobile world championship was held in 1952 and 1953 according to the Formula 2 rules (among other things with a significantly smaller engine displacement ).

The number of points corresponds to the points scored for the World Cup, not the ones actually achieved; up to 1978 there were still deletion results , and only the best placed driver of a designer was rated.

According to driver nation
Note: i. d. Usually denotes the country of origin of a driver. This does not necessarily have to be the country of birth of the pilot (see Jochen Rindt ). More recently, the nation of a driver is determined by the license with which he competes (see Nico Rosberg ).

According to the constructor nation
Note: The country with whose license a manufacturer is registered with the FIA is called the constructor nation . I. d. This is usually identical to the country of origin of the team itself or the parent company (see Mercedes , Red Bull or Renault ). The actual seat of the designer does not matter. The vast majority of Formula 1 teams traditionally operate from England .

According to engine manufacturer
Note: The International Automobile Federation (FIA) does not award an official world championship title for the most successful engine supplier of a season. If the FIA were to do this, there would have to be a third point ranking in addition to the driver and designer ranking, in which every engine manufacturer represented in the field receives all the points that were achieved with the help of their engine. The following table therefore shows separately the driver and designer titles in which the respective engine manufacturer was involved (example: In 1994 a driver with a Ford engine became world champion, but the designer cup went to a team driving with Renault units). "F" stands for driver's title and "K" for designer title.
Note: The names of engine manufacturers still active in the 2020 season are bold.

According to tire manufacturer
Note: The same applies here as for the engine manufacturers. The FIA does not award a title for the best tire supplier of a season. Furthermore, according to the current regulations, only one tire manufacturer has been approved since 2007. The following table therefore shows separately the driver and designer titles in which the respective tire manufacturer was involved. In 1952, 1954 and 1981, the driver world champion changed tires during the season.
