List of Formula One Grands Prix

The Formula One World Championship season consists of a series of races around the world, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Each Grand Prix meeting lasts three days with either one or three practice sessions before a three-part qualifying session on either Friday or Saturday to set the starting order for Sunday's race. Grands Prix are frequently named after the country, region or city in which they are raced, and in some seasons, nations have hosted more than one event. Should Formula One hold two or more races in the same nation in the same year, on either a different or the same track, then their names will be different. The results of each Grand Prix held throughout the season are combined to decide two annual championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.

Grand Prix distance regulations have varied throughout Formula One history. Between 1950 and 1957, events ran for more than 300 km (190 mi) or three hours. In 1958, race lengths were set between 300 and 500 km (190 and 310 mi) or two hours. It was reduced to between 300 and 400 km (190 and 250 mi) from 1966 with an established maximum length of 321.87 km (200.00 mi) in 1971. From 1973 to 1980, races had to last either 321.87 km (200.00 mi) or two hours, whichever came first. Distances of between 250 and 320 km (160 and 200 mi) or two hours were used from 1981 to 1984. The minimum distance was revised to 300 km (190 mi) including the formation lap in 1984 and the maximum length was standardised at 305 km (190 mi) in 1989. The exception to the rule is the Monaco Grand Prix, which has a scheduled length of at least 260 km (160 mi).

The British Grand Prix and Italian Grand Prix are the most frequently held events in the Formula One World Championship with 43 editions each since the races first formed a part of the series in 1950, followed by the French Grand Prix and the German Grand Prix. Italy's Monza Circuit has hosted the most Grands Prix on any circuit with 43. The Circuit de Monaco is second with 39 events and the Zandvoort in the Netherlands is third with 30 races. Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States have all held two Grands Prix in various seasons; the United States is the only country to have hosted three races during a season, in 1982. Italy has held the most Grands Prix with 105 since its first in 1950. Only Morocco has staged just one Grand Prix. The most recent addition was the Hungarian Grand Prix in 1986.

As of the 1992 Australian Grand Prix, 520 World Championship events have been held over 43 seasons in 22 countries and under 30 race titles at 59 racing circuits. These figures include the Indianapolis 500 races which were a part of the World Championships from 1950 until 1960 despite not being named a Grand Prix. The 1950 British Grand Prix was the first Formula One World Championship Grand Prix. Not included in this list are non-championship Grands Prix held to Formula One regulations from 1946 to 1983 and as part of each of the British Formula One Championship and the South African Formula One Championship.
