Formula 1 Teams

Every team to have entered a World Championship race, counted as a continuous organisation rather than as a chassis name. Here they are put back the way the paddock understood them, and where the call is arguable the page says so.

Where Formula 1 is built

Where each team's factory actually is, since the archive itself has no address field.

How this is measured

It has a nationality field, and that is a racing licence rather than a place: Red Bull is Austrian and has never built a car outside Buckinghamshire. So the factories are curated by hand, with a source per site, and put to the same workbook that decides every other metro on this site.

Forti

3 factory towns are missing from the grid above because MetroAreas.xlsx carries no Metro Area for them: Hethel (Team Lotus); Bourne (BRM); Thetford (Pacific). They are shown as towns rather than reassigned to a neighbouring metro, which is the same rule the rest of the site follows.

Of the 11 teams racing now, 10 have a facility in England and only Ferrari has none. 8 do their car work there, and 6 are headquartered there outright, the difference being the American teams whose registered offices are in Indiana and North Carolina while the cars are handled in Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire. Those English sites sit inside a circle roughly sixty miles across. The usual claim that the whole grid is English is not true; the claim that almost all of it passes through one small piece of England is, if anything, understated.

How this board works

Results come from the Ergast archive and its Jolpica successor, which identify a car by chassis and engine rather than by the company that entered it. Four rules turn that into teams. Chassis-engine variants of one marque are merged, so Lotus-Climax and Lotus-Ford are Team Lotus. Records that weld unrelated organisations together are split, which is the two Alfa Romeos, the two Mercedes, the two Renaults, the two Hondas, the two Aston Martins and the two ATSs that share only an acronym. The archive everyone builds on files Team Lotus under four separate records and splits its 79 wins between them; it also files three unrelated Alfa Romeos as one.

Where a team changed its name but the organisation carried on, the eras are chained: Tyrrell to BAR to Honda to Brawn to Mercedes at Brackley, Toleman to Benetton to Renault to Lotus to Alpine at Enstone, Stewart to Jaguar to Red Bull at Milton Keynes. A team page shows the chain and gives each era its own row, so nothing is hidden inside a total.

Everything else is left alone and noted. Two calls on this board are genuinely arguable and are marked as such on the teams concerned: whether Racing Point continues Force India through the 2018 administration, and whether the 1968-69 Matra-Ford wins belong to the chassis constructor or to Ken Tyrrell's team that entered them.

Factory locations come from a separate curation, scripts/f1/bases.py, because the archive has no address at all. 83 sites are recorded across 49 teams, each with a source and a span of years, and each town is then put to MetroAreas.xlsx. England is stored there as census areas rather than towns, so a town resolves only when the areas whose names contain it agree on one metro. Where they do not, or where the workbook leaves the metro blank, the town is shown on its own and listed above. Brackley and Silverstone are both in that position, which is to say the homes of Mercedes and Aston Martin are two of the gaps.

A team earns a page with ten or more races or at least one win. Championship totals count finished seasons only, so a leader mid-season is not yet a champion. Constructors’ titles begin in 1958.
