214-409: A "works" or "factory" team (i.e. the official team of the company producing the cars, as opposed to a customer team which buys them off the shelf) therefore applied to chassis in the same way as it does in rallying and sports car racing . There have been some recent exceptions where a specialist company, not itself entered in the championship, has been commissioned to design and build a chassis for

321-596: A car that strongly resembled the Ferrari SF70H , Ferrari's 2017 car. Competitors McLaren and Force India both criticized the partnership between Ferrari and Haas.

535-511: A low-cost model that would allow new teams to enter the sport and be competitive, which had been of concern to the sport for some years.

In 2018 Haas again came under fire from competitors after arriving at winter testing with

1177-421: A single race was not strictly limited in the 1950s and early 1960s. Since the 1963 season teams were generally allowed to enter only two regular cars, with the third car reserved for an occasional driver.

2033-473: The 1968 season the team's nationality also determined the colour of a car entered by the team; thus, Italian teams' cars were rosso corsa red, French were bleu de France blue, and British (with several exceptions, such as cars entered by teams Rob Walker , Brabham and McLaren ) were British racing green . Since the licence is given to a team and not to a constructor, privateer teams entering cars built by constructors from another country before

2140-500: The 1981 season the FIA have required that Formula One entrants own the intellectual rights to the chassis that they enter, and so the distinction between the terms "entrant" and "constructor", and hence also "team", have become less pronounced, though the intellectual rights of engines may still be owned by a different entity. That season also saw the International Cup for Formula One Constructors be officially renamed to

2247-429: The 1997 German Grand Prix Benetton became the only team to have achieved victories while racing under two different nationalities.

This occurred for the last time in the 1985 season when

6099-674: The constructors' title for the second consecutive year after being surpassed by the Renault Sport Formula One Team in the final races.

Since

6848-447: The last of all running cars. In the season's final race, Mazepin tested positive for coronavirus and was ruled out of the race. Haas would only field one driver, rather than replace Mazepin with reserve driver Pietro Fittipaldi , as he had not fulfilled the requirement of having competed in a practice session for the team. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine , Haas removed the branding of Russian sponsor Uralkali from its cars and

Between 1996 and 2013 the numbers were based on the teams' finishing positions in the Constructors' Championship from the previous season, with numbers 1 and 2 assigned to the defending champion and his teammate.
