Formula 1 is a sport that has loads of fans from all over the world. Most of them like particular drivers, but some people watch the sport because they are fans of the different teams. Speaking of teams, some of the car brands in Formula 1 have been really successful even outside the sport.
Having said that, let's check out the most successful F1 teams in this sport's history.
Ferrari
The first and also the most successful F1 team in the world is the Italian brand Ferrari. This car manufacturer is one of the most popular brands in the world and a synonym for success.Ferrari has participated in more grand prix races than any other constructor. Hence, punters who visit the Betfair sportsbook and go to the Motorsport section usually place bets on the Italian manufacturer. The fact that it's been a part of loads of grands prix means that Ferrari has also won more races than any other brand.
The Italians won the first constructors title back in 1958, and they continued to dominate the sport in the '70s and '80s. However, most people became fans of the brand during the time of Michael Schumacher.
Williams
Besides Ferrari, another brand that has tons of supporters is Williams. Even though they first entered the race as a constructor back in 1977, the team managed to win its first title in 1980.One of the exciting things about Williams was their partnership with BMW in the early '00s. During the time, the team did pretty well, but they had to go up against Schumacher and several other famous drivers, which wasn't easy.
McLaren
Similar to Ferrari, McLaren is one of the most popular car brands in the world. Interestingly, this is one of the few Formula 1 teams that focused more on the individual championship trophies. In fact, McLaren has never won the constructors title if one of their drivers didn't become the champion. This is one of the biggest differences between it and Ferrari.Thanks to people such as Ayrton Senna, McLaren was one of the most dominant forces in the 1980s and 1990s.
Mercedes
This is definitely the most dominant team in Formula 1 in the last couple of years. Lewis Hamilton is one of the most successful pilots in the sport's history, which is why Mercedes has been nearly flawless. In fact, the team has won the title seven consecutive times, which is really impressive.Red Bull
Red Bull is one of the brands that are popular even outside the automotive industry. After all, this is the most famous energy drink company in the world. The team became a part of F1 back in 2005 after purchasing the Jaguar brand.After teaming up with one of the most talented drivers, Sebastian Vettel, Red Bull was able to win four titles in a row, which was a record until Mercedes broke it several years later thanks to its world-class pilots.
