Formula One drivers are professional racing competitors in the FIA Formula One World Championship, the highest class of international auto racing. Since the championship began in 1950, 781 drivers from 41 nationalities have participated. They compete in a series of Grand Prix events on circuits and city tracks, with a World Drivers' Champion crowned each year based on a cumulative points system.
