The F1 moments that defined the 1950s

In a new series looking back on the rich heritage of Formula 1, Autosport picks out the 10 moments that defined the first decade of the world championship, the 1950s, with the help of the extensive Motorsport Images archive

In the 70 years since the Formula 1 World Championship began in 1950, 33 different drivers have won championships, 108 have taken grand prix victories and 342 have been registered as points-scorers.

Autosport, which also celebrates its 70th anniversary this year, has been a big part of the F1 landscape over that time - including of course the 2020 Australian GP that never was.
