Season Summary

Points were given to top 5 finishers (8, 6, 4, 3, 2). 1 point was given for fastest lap. Only the best Four of nine scores counted towards the world championship. Points for shared drives were divided equally between the drivers, regardless of who had driven more laps. In 1953, all World Championship events were run under Formula 2 regulations. While Formula One has generally been regarded as the pinnacle of open-wheeled auto racing, the high performance nature of the cars and the expense involved in the series has always meant that there has needed to be a path to reach this peak. ...

Formula 1 is generally one of the biggest global TV draws behind the Football World Cup and the Olympics.
Formula 1 can be seen around the world on RTL, the longest serving F1 broadcaster, ITV in the United Kingdom, SPEED Channel (as well as a few races being broadcast on CBS with the GP's in San Marino, Germany (European Grand Prix), Spain, and Monaco) in America and many other stations relaying the action live.
