Notably, many not called Grand Prix.
This is another example of a simple pedantic view fails to show understanding.
Show much other stuff we could go into that means that just because there were some other races in 1950 does nothing to demonstrate whether 24 races is saturation in 2023.
The cars, the media, the championship, the entrants, etc.. almost so obvious none of it needs saying.
