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.
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.

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.
