The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly called the United Kingdom, the UK, Great Britain or Britain is a country in Western Europe that is often considered the home of Formula One. It has produced more drivers, Drivers' World Champions, more constructors and more Constructors' Champions than any other country.

Of the ten teams currently in F1, six are based in the UK.

It should be noted that while in many sports, the United Kingdom is split into its constituent countries (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), in F1 the four countries are always grouped together into either the UK or Britain.
