The first ever Formula One Grand Prix was the British Grand Prix (also called European Grand Prix). It was held at the former airfield of Silverstone, UK. The very first winner was Emilio Giuseppe "Nino" Farina with Alfa Romeo having covered total of 70 laps on the 4.6 km course(circa 325 km). This was 1-2-3 for the Italian manufacturer with Luigi Fagioli and Reg Parnel finishing on the podium. From the 4 Alfa Romeo entries only Juan Manuel Fangio doesn't see the finish as he retired with oil leak. Only the top 5 earned points with 4th and 5th places belonged to the Talbot-Lago drivers Cabantous and Rosier

No. The first Grand Prix was held MUCH earlier.

1st Answer you see here:

If it's F1, sure. In 1950 the 1st F1 Grand Prix was the 3th edition of the British Grand Prix. Winner after 2 hours, 13 minutes and 23,6 seconds and after 325,43 km in 70 laps(with 4.649km on a lap) was the Italian Giuseppe Farina on Alfa Romeo.



Race Summary: (in the spoiler)
Farina had the Pole, in the 1st row were all other Alfas (the Argentinian Juan Manuel Fangio, the Italian Luigi Fagioli and British guestdriver Reginald Parnell) Farina was in lead, before Fangio and Fagioli. The lead changes many times, but Fangio retired due a engine failture (oil leak). At the end, Farina won 2.6s before Fagioli and 52.0s before Parnell. 4th and 5th, the French Yves Giraud-Cabantous and Louis Rosier, both on French Talbot-Lago cars. From 21 starters, 13 drivers finished, but only 11 were classified.

Standings after the 1st F1 race ever:
Points: 8-6-4-3-2. Fastest Lap gives 1 point.

1. Giuseppe_Farina (Alfa Romeo) 9 points
2. Luigi Fagioli (Alfa Romeo) 6 points
3. Reginald Parnell (Alfa Romeo) 4 points
4. Yves Giraud-Cabantous (Talbot-Lago) 3 points
5. Louis Rosier (Talbot-Lago) 2 points

1st Grand Prix ever was the French Grand Prix in 1906. Winner after 12 hours, 14 minutes and 07.4 seconds and after 1238.16 km (or 12 laps with 103.18 km per lap), all split on 2 days with 6 laps on each day, was the Hungarian Ferenc Szisz on Renault.

Summary comes later on these spot.
