The racing "formula" refers to the rules for building the cars, and governs things like engine sizes and the size and shape of the car in a lot of techinical detail.

Formula One is so named for being the number one racing Formula in the world. That is to say, the rules are the least restrictive and allow the fastest, most agile cars in the world.

You can think of the French term "Formula" as meaning "the set of rules that were formulated". Originally there were Formulae 1, 2, and 3. They were created by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile.

Grand Prix racing was always popular in various countries in Europe, even before it changed its name to Formula 1.

Initially, in the early 1900s, there was a great enthusiasm in the automobile and automotive racing.

So the first official Grand Prix was held in 1906 as sort of an Olympic Games or World Cup for automotive manufacturers.

The governments of Italy, Germany and France even subsidized racing teams for reasons of national Propaganda.

By the late 50s most of the auto makers were gone and specialized racing teams were dominating the grid. Only Ferrari and Lotus were making cars.

Drivers, witch are seen as national heroes and great athletes, became the reason why many watched the sport.
