The constructors of Formula 1

The Formula 1 Constructors’ Championship is an annual competition in which teams officially called constructors compete to earn the most points over the course of a season. Each constructor typically fields two cars, driven by two different drivers, and both drivers contribute to the team's total points. Points are awarded based on finishing positions in each race, with higher positions earning more points. At the end of every Grand Prix, the points scored by both drivers are added to the constructor’s tally, making consistency and reliability across both cars crucial to a team's success. The team with the most combined points at the end of the season is crowned the Constructors’ Champion. While the Drivers’ Championship focuses on individual performance, the Constructors’ Championship emphasizes the collective strength of the entire operation engineers, strategists, mechanics, and the drivers working together. Winning this title is a major achievement in Formula 1, reflecting not just speed, but also teamwork, technical innovation, and strategic excellence across a full calendar of intense races.

Ferrari is the most successful team in Formula 1, with 16 Constructors’ Championships and 15 Drivers’ Championships. The team has been part of the sport since it began in 1950 and is the only one to have competed in every season since. Known officially as Scuderia Ferrari, the team is famous for its red cars and strong connection to Italian racing history. Over the years, Ferrari has had some of the sport’s biggest names drive for them, including Michael Schumacher, who helped lead the team through one of its most dominant eras. While they’ve had tough seasons and strong rivals, Ferrari remains one of the most respected and popular teams in Formula 1, with a loyal fanbase and a deep racing legacy.

Mercedes is one of the most successful teams in modern Formula 1, with 8 Constructors’ Championships and 9 Drivers’ Championships. Although the team first raced in F1 in the 1950s, they returned as a full works team in 2010 and quickly rose to dominance. Their most successful period came between 2014 and 2020, when they won seven titles in a row, largely thanks to a powerful engine, strong team management, and the driving talent of Lewis Hamilton. Mercedes became known for their consistency, speed, and strategic execution during races. Even when facing tough competition, they’ve remained one of the top teams on the grid. With a focus on both performance and innovation, Mercedes continues to be a major force in Formula 1.

Red Bull Racing has established itself as a dominant force in Formula 1 since its debut in 2005. The team was formed when the energy drink company Red Bull purchased the struggling Jaguar Racing team, aiming to bring a fresh and aggressive approach to the sport. Initially seen as underdogs, Red Bull quickly rose through the ranks, especially after hiring legendary designer Adrian Newey. Their breakthrough came in 2010 when German driver Sebastian Vettel won the team’s first World Championship, kicking off a streak of four consecutive Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles from 2010 to 2013. After a brief dip in performance during the hybrid era’s early years, Red Bull returned to dominance with Dutch driver Max Verstappen, who claimed his first title in 2021 after a dramatic season and continued Red Bull's success with back to back championships. Known for their innovation, bold strategy, and top tier engineering, Red Bull Racing remains one of the most successful and influential teams in modern F1.
