Well that depends on what you mean by Formula 1.

The first Grand Prix winner was Fernenc Szisz in 1906 on a road course near Le Mans - the course was 65 miles long, was over two days, each racer had to complete 6 laps each day, and was won at an average speed of 63 miles per hour.

The first race of the 'Modern era' was in 1950 at the Grand Prix of Europe at Silverstone and was won by Giuseppe Farina in a Alfa Romeo.
