Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.[1] The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform.[2] The Formula One World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets.[3] The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.[4]

Max Verstappen holds the record for the most Formula One sprint wins with eleven during his career.

Sprints were introduced at select Grands Prix in 2021.[5][6] Max Verstappen holds the record for the most sprint wins with eleven.
