114.77.200.7: /* Youngest Drivers' Champion */

{{Formula One}}
The '''Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC)''' is awarded by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (''FIA'') to the most successful [[Formula One]] [[Auto racing|race car driver]] over a season, as determined by a [[List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems|points system]] based on Grand Prix results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], to [[Nino Farina]]. The first driver to win multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]], in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]].

The FIA do not officially declare the Champion until the end of the season, but a driver is said to have "clinched" the Championship after it is no longer possible for another to obtain more points than them, even if the former driver were to not compete in the remaining races of the season, and the latter to score the maximum number of points possible. The Drivers' Championship has been clinched in the final race of the season 23 times in the 58 seasons it has been awarded. The earliest in a season that the Drivers' Championship has been clinched was in [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], when [[Michael Schumacher]] secured the title with six races remaining.

Overall, twenty-nine different drivers have won the Championship, with German [[Michael Schumacher]] holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from [[2000 Formula One season|2000]] to [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]. The current Drivers' Champion is Jenson Button, who won his first World Championship in [[2009 Formula One season|2009]].

List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions

{{Formula One}}
The '''Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC)''' is awarded by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (''FIA'') to the most successful [[Formula One]] [[Auto racing|race car driver]] over a season, as determined by a [[List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems|points system]] based on Grand Prix results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], to [[Nino Farina]]. The first driver to win multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]], in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]].

The FIA do not officially declare the Champion until the end of the season, but a driver is said to have "clinched" the Championship after it is no longer possible for another to obtain more points than them, even if the former driver were to not compete in the remaining races of the season, and the latter to score the maximum number of points possible. The Drivers' Championship has been clinched in the final race of the season 23 times in the 58 seasons it has been awarded. The earliest in a season that the Drivers' Championship has been clinched was in [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], when [[Michael Schumacher]] secured the title with six races remaining.

Overall, twenty-nine different drivers have won the Championship, with German [[Michael Schumacher]] holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from [[2000 Formula One season|2000]] to [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]. The current Drivers' Champion is Jenson Button, who won his first World Championship in [[2009 Formula One season|2009]].

List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions

2009-12-16T06:07:09Z

114.77.200.7: /* By engine */

{{Formula One}}
The '''Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC)''' is awarded by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (''FIA'') to the most successful [[Formula One]] [[Auto racing|race car driver]] over a season, as determined by a [[List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems|points system]] based on Grand Prix results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], to [[Nino Farina]]. The first driver to win multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]], in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]].

The FIA do not officially declare the Champion until the end of the season, but a driver is said to have "clinched" the Championship after it is no longer possible for another to obtain more points than them, even if the former driver were to not compete in the remaining races of the season, and the latter to score the maximum number of points possible. The Drivers' Championship has been clinched in the final race of the season 23 times in the 58 seasons it has been awarded. The earliest in a season that the Drivers' Championship has been clinched was in [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], when [[Michael Schumacher]] secured the title with six races remaining.

Overall, twenty-nine different drivers have won the Championship, with German [[Michael Schumacher]] holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from [[2000 Formula One season|2000]] to [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]. The current Drivers' Champion is Jenson Button, who won his first World Championship in [[2009 Formula One season|2009]].

#{{note|d2}} Fangio competed in the 1954 [[1954 Argentine Grand Prix|Argentine]] and [[1954 Belgian Grand Prix|Belgian]] Grands Prix with [[Maserati]], then completed the season with [[Mercedes-Benz in motorsport|Mercedes]].
#{{note|d3}} Fangio shared the win of the [[1956 Argentine Grand Prix]] with [[Luigi Musso]].
#{{note|d4}} Fangio shared 2nd position in the 1956 [[1956 Monaco Grand Prix|Monaco]] and [[1956 Italian Grand Prix|Italian]] Grands Prix with [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]].

List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions

2009-12-16T06:05:03Z

114.77.200.7:

{{Formula One}}
The '''Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC)''' is awarded by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (''FIA'') to the most successful [[Formula One]] [[Auto racing|race car driver]] over a season, as determined by a [[List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems|points system]] based on Grand Prix results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], to [[Nino Farina]]. The first driver to win multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]], in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]].

The FIA do not officially declare the Champion until the end of the season, but a driver is said to have "clinched" the Championship after it is no longer possible for another to obtain more points than them, even if the former driver were to not compete in the remaining races of the season, and the latter to score the maximum number of points possible. The Drivers' Championship has been clinched in the final race of the season 23 times in the 58 seasons it has been awarded. The earliest in a season that the Drivers' Championship has been clinched was in [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], when [[Michael Schumacher]] secured the title with six races remaining.

Overall, twenty-nine different drivers have won the Championship, with German [[Michael Schumacher]] holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from [[2000 Formula One season|2000]] to [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]. The current Drivers' Champion is Jenson Button, who won his first World Championship in [[2009 Formula One season|2009]].

List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions

2009-12-16T06:00:57Z

114.77.200.7: /* By season */

{{Formula One}}
The '''Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC)''' is awarded by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (''FIA'') to the most successful [[Formula One]] [[Auto racing|race car driver]] over a season, as determined by a [[List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems|points system]] based on Grand Prix results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], to [[Nino Farina]]. The first driver to win multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]], in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]].

The FIA do not officially declare the Champion until the end of the season, but a driver is said to have "clinched" the Championship after it is no longer possible for another to obtain more points than them, even if the former driver were to not compete in the remaining races of the season, and the latter to score the maximum number of points possible. The Drivers' Championship has been clinched in the final race of the season 23 times in the 58 seasons it has been awarded. The earliest in a season that the Drivers' Championship has been clinched was in [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], when [[Michael Schumacher]] secured the title with six races remaining.

Overall, twenty-nine different drivers have won the Championship, with German [[Michael Schumacher]] holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from [[2000 Formula One season|2000]] to [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]. The current Drivers' Champion is [[Kimi Räikkönen]], who won his first World Championship in [[2007 Formula One season|2007]].

List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions

2009-12-16T05:59:37Z

114.77.200.7: /* By season */

{{Formula One}}
The '''Formula One World Drivers' Championship (WDC)''' is awarded by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (''FIA'') to the most successful [[Formula One]] [[Auto racing|race car driver]] over a season, as determined by a [[List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems|points system]] based on Grand Prix results. The Drivers' Championship was first awarded in [[1950 Formula One season|1950]], to [[Nino Farina]]. The first driver to win multiple Championships was [[Alberto Ascari]], in [[1952 Formula One season|1952]] and [[1953 Formula One season|1953]].

The FIA do not officially declare the Champion until the end of the season, but a driver is said to have "clinched" the Championship after it is no longer possible for another to obtain more points than them, even if the former driver were to not compete in the remaining races of the season, and the latter to score the maximum number of points possible. The Drivers' Championship has been clinched in the final race of the season 23 times in the 58 seasons it has been awarded. The earliest in a season that the Drivers' Championship has been clinched was in [[2002 Formula One season|2002]], when [[Michael Schumacher]] secured the title with six races remaining.

Overall, twenty-nine different drivers have won the Championship, with German [[Michael Schumacher]] holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from [[2000 Formula One season|2000]] to [[2004 Formula One season|2004]]. The current Drivers' Champion is [[Kimi Räikkönen]], who won his first World Championship in [[2007 Formula One season|2007]].
