Aston Martin
racing1991–2026 · Irish · Wikipedia
Based in Silverstone, West Northamptonshire, England · Northampton metro (since 1991)
One organisation, 6 names: Jordan Grand Prix → MF1 Racing → Spyker F1 → Force India → Racing Point → Aston Martin. The totals below are for the whole lineage; the eras table breaks them out.
Championship position, season by season
One bar per season entered, taller for a better finish in the constructors’ championship. Accent bars are title-winning seasons, green bars are seasons with at least one win. Gaps in the record are gaps in the bar row, not a line drawn across years the team did not race.
The eras
Why these are one team
- MF1 Racing. Midland bought Jordan in 2005 and ran as MF1 for 2006. Ergast splits the single 2006 season across two records; both are claimed here.
- Force India. Vijay Mallya's consortium bought Spyker in October 2007.
- Racing Point. THE ARGUABLE LINK IN THIS CHAIN. Force India went into administration in July 2018 and Lawrence Stroll's consortium bought the ASSETS, not the company; the FIA treated the 2018 entry as two entrants and split the season's points. Recorded as continuous because the factory, the staff and the entry all carried on, but a reader who wants to cut the chain here has a real argument.
- Aston Martin. Distinct from the 1959-60 Aston Martin works team, filed separately.
Where the cars were built
The archive records a team’s nationality, which is a racing licence rather than an address: Red Bull is Austrian and has never built a car outside Buckinghamshire. These are the actual sites, curated with a source for each, and each one placed in a metro where the workbook can rule on the town.
- Silverstone. One site continuously since Jordan built it in 1991, through Midland, Spyker, Force India and Racing Point. The AMR Technology Campus that replaced it opened in 2023 on the same land.
Getting to the finish
The share of car entries classified as finishers, by decade. This is the statistic that separates the eras of the sport more sharply than lap times do: a 1960s team that finished a fifth of its entries was normal.
Teammate against teammate
The same car, the same weekend, the only comparison in the sport with nothing else in it. Qualifying counts the races where both cars set a grid time; the race counts the races where both were classified, because a car that broke on lap two did not lose to anybody. The two denominators are different for that reason, and both are shown.

Season by season
- 2020. The FIA docked Racing Point 15 constructors' points for copying the 2019 Mercedes brake ducts, so the championship credited 195 against 210 scored on track.

Where they won
Their best circuits, and the metro each one sits in. This is a metro site before it is a motorsport one, so every venue links back to its city.
Where these numbers come from
Results are the Ergast archive and its Jolpica successor, 1950 to the current season. That archive identifies a car by chassis and engine rather than by the company entering it, so the teams here are reassembled by hand; the rules and every judgement call are set out on the teams board.
Wins, podiums and poles count car entries, so a one-two counts as two podiums. Points are as awarded at the time and are not comparable across eras: a win was worth 8 points in 1960 and 25 today. Titles count finished seasons only, so leading the current championship does not yet count as one.
Points are points scored, race and sprint together, and every season from 1991 onward is checked against the official constructors’ table at build time. Earlier seasons will not match it, and are not meant to: for much of the sport’s history only a driver’s best few results counted toward the championship. Sprint wins are counted separately from Grand Prix wins, because a Saturday result is not a victory in the record books.
Factory locations are curated separately, in scripts/f1/bases.py, with a source per site. The archive has no address field at all. Each town is then put to MetroAreas.xlsx, and a town the workbook cannot rule on is shown without a metro rather than assigned to the nearest one.
