Scuderia Ferrari have won the most Formula One Grands Prix

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 cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets, the most famous of which is the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo.^[2] The results of each race are combined to determine two annual World Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.

Ferrari hold the record for the most Grands Prix victories, having won 210 times. McLaren are second with 164 wins, and Williams are third with 113 wins.^[3] British teams have won the most Grands Prix, 12 teams have won 494 races between them. Italian teams are second with 231 wins between five teams. French teams are third, having won 53 Grands Prix between three teams.
