原來只是品牌之分，又一小圈子傑作。

Question from me: Can someone tell me why it’s called Grand Prix in the early days of motor car racing, but after 1979 (I think), it’s been renamed to Formula 1 (or simply F1)?

Answer by David Steele:

It was originally the Gordon Bennett Trophy. A race organised by a wealthy American Businessman between nations. Hence the colours of cars.

White = Germany, Red = Italy, Green = GB, etc, etc.

This then became the Grand Prize or Grand Prix and run by the Federation International Automobile (FIA), from Paris France.

Bernie Ecclestone then got his hands on it! The rest is history as they say. Formula 1 or F1 as it is known became a branding exercise. No longer does Grand Prix mean what it should …

Question from me: Just saw a car show, the host mentioned F1 was started in 1951, the very 1st F1 in Silverstone UK…Alfa 159 won 1-2-3…so I guess GP & F1 was used interchangeably between 50s-70s?

Answer by Wolfgang Beinhauer:
The Formula 1 World Championchip series started 1950, every race of this series is called a Grand Prix. Though, there was a couple of races in the 1950s and 1960s called a Grand Prix that didn’t count for the Formula 1 World Championchip. Prior 1950, there was no Formula 1 hence no official World Championchip.
