List of Formula One constructors
The following is a
list of constructors which have competed or plan to compete in the
Formula One World Championship.
This list is accurate as of January 1, 2005. For a list of currently active constructors, see Formula One season.The constructors entered in the constructors championship consist of the manufacturer of the car
and the make of engine used. Hence, 'McLaren-Mercedes' is the constructor. Where different engine manufacturers have been used during the year, the combinations are counted as different constructors in the championship. The most recent occurrence of this was in 1993 when Porsche's 3.5 litre V12 engine proved a disaster for the Footwork team. From mid season the team reverted to using Cosworth DFR engines and thus there are two entries in the 1993 constructors championship - Footwork-Porsche and Footwork-Cosworth.
In modern Formula One teams must own the intellectual property rights to their own chassis, so 'team' and 'constructor' are usually synonomous. There have been some recent exceptions where a specialist company has been commissioned to design and build a chassis for a team - Lola built cars for Larrousse and Scuderia Italia in the late 1980s and early 1990s, for example. Larousse had their points from the 1990 season erased after the FIA decided that they had falsely nominated themselves and not Lola as the chassis constructor. However, this has only been the case since the early 1980s. Before then, teams were free to sell their chassis to as many other teams as they liked. Brabham and Lotus chassis were used extensively by other teams during the 1960s and 1970s and several quite competitive teams never built their own chassis.
As of 2006 it is proposed that from 2008 teams will once again be able to buy chassis from other teams.
