British American Tobacco bought the team after Ken Tyrrell sold up; the big-budget BAR era produced zero wins.
Honda bought out BAT's stake outright, scored one win, then pulled out entirely amid the 2008 financial crisis.
Ross Brawn bought the stranded team for a symbolic £1 and won both championships in 2009, one of F1's great underdog stories.
Daimler bought Brawn GP and has since taken nine constructors' and eight drivers' titles, mostly during the 2014–2021 hybrid era.
