All About F1 Betting in Kenya

Formula 1 is easily the most prestigious form of open-wheel single-seater auto racing in the world, with over half a century of rich history and hundreds of millions of fans across the globe.

F1 betting

Despite its decidedly Eurocentric past, F1’s popularity has expanded into Africa in recent years, with communities of diehard fans springing up all over Kenya and beyond. As such, a growing number of new and established Kenyan sportsbooks have started offering F1 betting to appeal to this passionate audience.

An Overview of Formula 1

Originating from the World Manufacturers’ Championship and the European Drivers’ Championship of yesteryears, the FIA Formula One World Championship first ran in 1950 in the United Kingdom. It took its name from the formula: a set of rules that had to be met by competing cards in order for them to take part in the race.

Now, some 75 years later, the Formula One World Championship is still considered by many to be the peak of motor racing. Made up of a number of races—Grands Prix—across multiple countries around the world, it is also a sport with massive global appeal.

Popular Championships on F1 Betting Sites

Formula 1 has become more or less synonymous with the World Championship series, in which ten teams compete for points over the course of at least 20 Grands Prix. By the end of the season, two separate Champions will have been crowned: the winning driver and the winning constructor.

The World Championship is well-represented at F1 betting sites, but some may also list F1 Academy races—Formula One’s female-only tournament.

Important Dates in the F1 Calendar

The Formula One World Championship season typically begins in March and ends sometime in December, but the exact dates and order of the individual Grands Prix vary. To ensure you don’t miss a single race, you can check the Formula 1 website for the official 2025 race calendar.
