Founded by a driver, saved by a merger, and rebuilt three separate times into a championship machine. Full lineage →

Frank Williams's second attempt at a team became the most successful independent constructor in the sport's history. Full lineage →

Jackie Stewart's family team became Ford's works effort, then a drinks company's marketing exercise, then the dominant force of two rule cycles. Full lineage →

Colin Chapman's team invented the modern racing car three times over: the monocoque, sponsorship liveries and ground effect. Full lineage →

A bearing manufacturer's private crusade to beat the Italians — and the winner of the first ever constructors' championship in 1958. Full lineage →

A national project funded by British industry, famous for the shrieking H16 engine and one glorious 1962 championship. Full lineage →

Modena's other great marque: the 250F was the customer car of the 1950s and carried Fangio to his fifth title. Full lineage →

The only team whose founder won the championship driving his own car — later Bernie Ecclestone's launchpad into running the sport. Full lineage →

An Austrian-Canadian oil millionaire's team that won its very first grand prix and finished runner-up in its debut championship. Full lineage →

The marque that won the first two World Championships with the pre-war Alfetta, then returned twice as an engine supplier and a works team. Full lineage →

A father-and-son workshop in Surbiton that moved the engine behind the driver and made every front-engined car obsolete. Full lineage →

Switzerland's only Formula One constructor, twice sold to a manufacturer and twice bought back — and Audi's works team from 2026. Full lineage →

France's state-backed national team, blue and Gitanes-liveried, which later became Alain Prost's short-lived grand prix project. Full lineage →

Honda's first grand prix team built its own chassis and engines, won in Mexico twice, then became the sport's most successful engine supplier instead. Full lineage →

Five identities in thirty years. Eddie Jordan's underfunded yellow upstart is now a Lawrence Stroll-funded works marque. Full lineage →

Champagne, a teddy-bear badge and no sponsors — the aristocratic party team that beat Ferrari at Zandvoort with James Hunt. Full lineage →

The customer-car factory that sold chassis to anyone — including a works team good enough to win grands prix, and a young Max Mosley. Full lineage →

A French missile manufacturer that won a world championship in two seasons, then walked away to build V12 sports cars. Full lineage →

The largest budget in the sport for eight seasons, thirteen podiums, and not one victory before the 2009 withdrawal. Full lineage →
