I tried to put together the complicated and strange history of the F1 team

The

Formula 1 (F1) machine, considered to be the pinnacle of motor sports, is a crystal of the latest technology, and it requires a large amount of money to develop and maintain the machine. The appearance of the F1 team participating in a race while entering into a sponsorship contract with a company to raise funds is sometimes referred to as a 'running advertising tower', and the history of the F1 team is reflected in the company's circumstances and brand strategy. Will be YouTube channel · WTF1 specialized in F1 information is summarized the history of such F1 team.

The Unusual History Of F1 Teams-YouTube


Traditional teams such as Ferrari Williams McLaren have been the same team since the time of their debut.

In the case of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing, things get a little more complicated.

The departure as a Formula 1 team begins with the

Stewart Grand Prix , which appeared in 1997. It was then taken over by Jaguar Racing , known for its green team color, and in 2005 was acquired by beverage maker Red Bull and became Red Bull Racing .

Red Bull also owns another F1 team.

Minardi, sometimes referred to as a 'slow lap,' withdrew from F1 in 2006. It will be acquired by Red Bull and will be Scuderia Toro Rosso .

This 'Toro Rosso' is 'Red Bull' in Italian. Scuderia Toro Rosso is a Red Bull Racing junior team.

Paul Stoddart, the owner of Minardi, placed only one order at the time of the sale. That is not to transfer the team's home from the idyllic town of

Faenza in Italy.

Because of this, winning the 2008 Italian Grand Prix was an important victory for the team.

The case of Renault is even more complicated. The team appeared in 1981 as a

Tolman . After being named as a strong team Benetton Formula , it was acquired by Renault in 2002 and became a Renault F1 team .

After that Renault

resigned as Lotus as it pulled out in 2012 ...

The name was

Lotus , an emerging team in Malaysia, and in the 2011 race, two teams, Lotus, had to compete.

The conflict between the two teams over the name Lotus has evolved to trial, but with the acquisition of Renault again in 2015, the era of Lotus has come to an end.

But the story does not end here. In fact, Renault had established a team called 'Echie Renault' in 1977, which is earlier than the above. For this reason, if you think that the Tolman era that became the predecessor of the Renault team as of 2019 was also Renault, you can also view that Renault has competed for victory.

Sauber 's history is simpler than Renault. The Sauber, which was launched in 1993, was acquired by the German automaker BMW in 2006 and will be BMW Sauber in 2006. After winning the 2008 Grand Prix of Canada, BMW sold the team to the former owner in 2010 and re-started as Sauber.

Force India 's predecessor was the Jordan Grand Prix , which was launched in 1991.

Jordan Grand Prix won the title and runner-up from his team in 1998 and after renaming from 2006 to 2008, it was acquired by Indian businessman

Vijay Marya . It became force India. The Force India also went bankrupt in 2018 and is now active as a racing point .

Mercedes made a spectacular start by winning F1 in 1954 after World War II and winning 9 out of 12 races, but withdrew from the motor sports world in the wake of the 1955

accident. became.

On the other hand, it was established in 1971

Tyrrell is the name driver Jackie Stewart since the 1980s but was met with good results due to activities of is not sieved, B-A-R and Honda F1 in 2009 through such as Brawn GP became the .

The Brown GP is said to have been sold for 1 pound (about 140 yen) from Honda, but has achieved the achievement of the first year's first race victory in F1's history at the 2009 Australian GP several weeks after being formed. The following year, 2010, it was acquired by Mercedes, who retired from F1 for a long time, and as of 2019, it has a team name of “

Mercedes AMG F1 ”.

This is what you get when you put together the history of a complex and unusual F1 team.
