It’s truly an impressive feat, with thousands of people traveling the world to set up a Grand Prix in a different country each week.
These are the worlds greatest and most popular Formula 1 race teams.
Scuderia Ferrari
Founder: Enzo Ferrari
Current Team Principal: Frédéric Vasseur & Laurent Mekies
Current Engine Provider: Ferrari
First Formula 1 Season: 1950
Ferrari is not only the hottest sports car in existence, it also is the most successful Formula 1 team in history. With 16 Constructors Championships and 15 Driver Championships (as of 2023), Ferrari is officially the “Greatest Team Of All Time”. In recent years however, they have struggled. Red Bull and Mercedes have out classed Ferrari over the last 15 years and there seems to be no end in sight. The Ferrari Tifosi (fans) will never give up on their team but when will Ferrari start winning again? Only time will tell…
Founder: Dietrich Mateschitz
Current Team Principal: Christian Horner
Current Engine Provider: Honda
First Formula 1 Season: 2005
The Red Bull Formula 1 team not only got off to a hot start durning its debut season in 2005, since then, it has had an incredible amount of success in its short history. As of 2023 it has won five Constructors Championships and six Driver Championships. Currently, Red Bull is destroying the field with their Honda engines and expert engineering. The question is “How long will it last”? Only time will tell, success in Formula 1 is short lived and most successful teams have to go back to the drawing board year after year. As for now, Red Bull is the best performing team in the world.
Founder: Mercedes–Benz
Current Team Principal: Toto Wolff
Current Engine Provider: Mercedes
First Formula 1 Season: 1954
Mercedes-Benz is a popular house hold name all around the world. Not only do they make beautiful luxury cars but they also engineer some of the best performing Formula 1 cars in existence. Mercedes Petronas Formula 1 team is one of the most successful on the grid, capturing eight Constructors Championships and nine Drivers Championships since its first season. Until recently, the team seemed rather invincible with Toto Wolff’s leadership and Lewis Hamilton’s driving. Currently they are trying to figure out how they can get back the speed they once had to take down the current champs, Red Bull.
Founder: Bruce McLaren
Current Team Principal: Zak Brown
Current Engine Provider: Mercedes
First Formula 1 Season: 1966
McLaren makes super fast luxury cars. It’s hard to believe they’re even street legal for civilians. With that said, they are in fact one of the most decorated Formula 1 teams in the sport with eight Constructors Championships and twelve Drivers Championships as of 2023. Recently, however, they just can’t seem to win. May be it has something to do with the fact they use a competitors Engine (Mercedes)? Not sure your competitor will provide you the “best” if they want to beat you. With that said, McLaren is doing everything they can to get back to former glory.
Founder: Frank Williams & Patrick Head
Current Team Principal: James Vowles
Current Engine Provider: Mercedes
First Season in Formula 1: 1977
Williams Racing has really not been relevant since the 90’s but they are a notable mention as they are one of the most successful Formula 1 teams to race in the sport. They’ve won nine Constructors Championships and Seven Drivers Championships since 1977. Their blue race cars are beautiful, but have not won many races in the past 20 years. Again, another team currently using a Mercedes (competitor) engine. Not sure we will see them on the podium much in the future…
