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.
Who controls the club
The entity that holds control today, one per franchise; co-controllers and minority holders are listed, never summed.
How this is measured
Exactly one control entity is recorded per franchise, so a portfolio can never count a club twice. Co-controllers and minority holders are shown as published and carry no weight in any total.
The chip names the evidence. Sourced: a primary source is linked (league, club, filing or tier-one outlet). Cross-checked: matched against the ownership-change sweep. Contested: disputed or mid-sale. Rows are reviewed weekly.
Stakes are as published, often only “majority”, and are not pro-rated. A record of control is not a claim about anyone’s intent or conduct.
Who controls the clubLawrence Stroll (Yew Tree consortium)
Minority holders: Arctos Partners; HPS Investment Partners and Accel; Saudi Arabia's PIF, about 8%; Adrian Newey; Woody Johnson (from Aug 2026)
Control has sat with Stroll's consortium since it rescued Force India in 2018. Aston Martin Lagonda, the carmaker, agreed in Jul 2025 to sell its own equity in the team for about £110m at a valuation near £2.4bn while keeping the naming rights, so the team and the car company are no longer the same asset. PIF's stake here is minority and does not join it to Newcastle's portfolio. Woody Johnson bought a significant minority stake in Aug 2026 at a reported valuation near $3.5bn with no operational role, per Sportico and PlanetF1; control is unchanged.

Championship position, season by season
One bar per season entered, taller for a better finish in the constructors’ championship, coloured by whether the season brought the title or at least one win (key under the chart). A season the team did not race is an empty slot, so gaps in the record show as gaps. Tap or drag the bars for any season’s numbers.
The eras
arguable: a link that is a judgement call; the reasoning is in the notes below.
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.
Who drove for them
Showing 40 of 42 drivers, most wins first.
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.
