The Long Version

Ken Tyrrell's team won three championships in the early 1970s with Jackie Stewart before decades of decline.

British American Tobacco bought the entry in 1997 and moved the operation into a new Brackley factory as BAR.

Honda took full control in 2006, then withdrew in the 2008 financial crisis; Ross Brawn bought the team for a nominal sum.

Brawn GP won both titles in 2009 and was immediately purchased by Mercedes, which then won eight straight constructors' championships from 2014.
