mr03  2014

drivers: Jules Bianchi & Max Chilton

marussia f1 team

 

The car was the first car designed by Marussia to use an engine built by Ferrari, the 059/3. In general terms, and compared to previous years' cars, the MR03 performed better relative to the opposition. In addition, with this car, Bianchi recorded his and Marussia's first points ever in Formula One at the Monaco Grand Prix.

As a result of the serious crash that involved Bianchi at the Japanese Grand Prix – and which caused his death nine months later – for the subsequent and inaugural Russian Grand Prix the team decided to only race with Chilton.

With the team folding in November 2014, the MR03 did not further participate in the 2014 Formula One season.

drivers: Kimi Räikkönen, Heikki Kovalainen & Romain Grosjean

lotus f1 team

 

The Lotus E21 is a Formula One racing car designed and built by the Lotus F1 team.

Following criticism of the cars raced in 2012 for being "ugly" because of a visible step in the design of the nose, the 2013 technical regulations allowed teams to use a "modesty panel", or a small piece of carbon fibre designed to cover the nose of the car for aesthetic purposes. However, the E21 was launched without a modesty panel, as the team felt that it offered no aerodynamic benefit.

The Renault RS27-2013 2.4 L  engine produced 750hp.

mp4-27  2012

drivers: Jenson Button & Lewis Hamilton

vodafone mclaren mercedes

 

The McLaren MP4-27 is a Formula One racing car designed by Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. This was the last McLaren car that Lewis Hamilton drove for the team, as he moved to the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team in 2013. This was also the last McLaren Formula One car to win a race until the McLaren MCL35M did so in 2021.

The MP4-27 was one of three 2012 cars not to have the so-called "platypus" nose, instead opting for a gradual sloped nose. The Marussia F1 MR01 and HRT F112 also had a similar low nose

The car achieved 7 wins, 8 poles and third place in the Constructors' Championship in 2012.

drivers: Fernando Alonso, Tarso Marques & Alex Yoong

minardi f1 team

 

The Minardi PS01 (unofficially known as European Minardi PS01) was the car with which the Minardi team competed in the 2001 Formula One season. It was initially driven by Tarso Marques, who returned to the team after last driving an F1 car in 1997, and Fernando Alonso, a rookie who had graduated from Formula 3000 and was in a long-term contract to Flavio Briatore's driver management scheme.

The cars were surprisingly competitive but the team scored no points.

The Ford VJ Zetec-R (badged as European) 3.0 L  V10  naturally-aspirated mid-engined produced  735bhp.

b195  1995

drivers: Michael Schumacher & Johnny Herbert

benetton formula ltd.

 

 The B195 is similar to its predecessor, the B194, but a change of engine supplier from Ford to Renault resulted in a redesign of the engine installation, gearbox and rear suspension. The car was powered by the same factory Renault RS7 V10 engine used by Benetton's rivals, Williams, in their FW17. Being less stable than the FW17, the B195 was seen by most paddock insiders as inferior to its rival. 

Benetton team won its first (and only) Constructors' Championship that season, but most of their key technical staff defected to Ferrari when Schumacher signed for them for the 1996 season.

js39b  1994

drivers: Éric Bernard, Johnny Herbert, Franck Lagorce & Olivier Panis

équipe ligier

 

The Ligier JS39 was a Formula One car used by the Ligier team during the 1993 and 1994 Formula One seasons. For the 1994 season the car was upgraded to 'B' specification. The engine was the Renault RS5 3.5 V10.

The team's main sponsor was again Gitanes. The car did not perform as well as in 1993 but was reliable, enabling Panis and Bernard to finish 2nd and 3rd respectively in the German Grand Prix. The team scored only two other points finishes for the rest of the season.

 

b193  1993

drivers: Michael Schumacher &  Riccardo Patrese

benetton formula ltd.

 

The Benetton B193 is a Formula One racing car, designed by Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne, the car was powered by the latest Cosworth HBA engine in an initially-exclusive deal with Ford, and ran on Goodyear tyres.

Having access to the most potent factory engine in contrast to McLaren having to make do with older-specification units gave Benetton a power advantage, (although Williams used a far superior Renault V10), however, the McLaren had the edge at some races.

The car was very advanced in the technological sense and featured active suspension, semi-automatic transmission, and traction control, from the Monaco Grand Prix onwards.

102d  1992

drivers: Mika Häkkinen & Johnny Herbert

team lotus

 

The Lotus 102 was a Formula One racing car designed by Lotus for use in the 1990 Formula One season and would eventually go on to compete in 37 races spanning three seasons from 1990 until 1992.

The final incarnation of the 102, was the makeshift 102D that represented Team Lotus's for the start of the 1992 season. Outwardly similar to the 102B, the car had a Cosworth HB V8 in place of the Judd EV V8. In an attempt to gain exposure a 102D driven by Johnny Herbert broke the Brands Hatch Indy circuit record for the BBC Record Breakers programme.

bt60y  1991

drivers: Mark Blundell & Martin Brundle

brabham

 

The Brabham BT60 was the final series of Formula One racing cars built for the Brabham Formula One motor racing team. Designed by Sergio Rinland, they raced in the 1991 and 1992 Formula One World Championships. The car brought to a close Brabham's 30 years of construction of purpose-built racing cars.

The BT60Y  was powered by the Yamaha OX99 V12 engine.

Brabham only scored three points in 1991, with one 5th-place for Brundle, and Blundell scoring one 6th-place finish. The team finished 10th in the Constructors' Championship.

cg901  1990

drivers: Maurício Gugelmin & Ivan Capelli

leyton house racing

 

The Leyton House CG901 was a racing car designed by Adrian Newey for the 1990 Championship. Five chassis were built and were powered by the Judd EV 3.5 litre V8 engine. Chassis 001 was subsequently modified mid-season to accommodate the Ilmor 2175A engine the team used in 1991.

The performance of the CG901 was very poor before the introduction of the B specification car at the French Grand Prix of 1990. In both France and Britain both Capelli and Gugelmin showed dominant form bewildering their much better-funded rivals. For the remainder of the season performance remained patchy and was plagued with reliability problems.

m189  1989

drivers: Pierluigi Martini & Luis Perez-Sala

minardi f1 team

 

The Minardi M189 was designed by Nigel Cowperthwaite, it scored several points finishes for the team. It was powered by a Ford Cosworth DFZ V8, the same type of engine that had been used the previous season in the Minardi M188.

Minardi finished the year with six points for 11th in the Constructor's Championship, while Martini was equal 14th, alongside Johnny Herbert, in the Driver's Championship with five points.

When the 1990 season began, Minardi's new car was still being completed so the M189 was updated to an M189B spec and pressed into service for the first two races of the year.

b188  1988

drivers: Alessandro Nannini & Thierry Boutsen

benetton formula ltd.

 

The Benetton B188 is a Formula One racing car designed by Rory Byrne and raced by Benetton team in the 1988 Formula One season and in the first half of the 1989 Formula One season. Dating back to when the team started as Toleman in 1981, the B188 was the first car produced by the team not to be powered by a turbocharged engine.

Benetton was effectively the Ford works team as they had exclusive use of the 3.5L Ford DFR V8 engine for 1988 where others running Ford-Cosworth power had to make do with 1987's DFZ engine.

The B188 reportedly had the largest fuel tank on the grid at 215 litres.

jh22  1987

drivers: Roberto Moreno & Pascal Fabre

automobiles gonfaronnaises sportives 

 

The JH22 was noted as a development of the Renault-based JH21C that the team had used in two races towards the end of 1986. However, while the JH21C had been fitted with a Motori Moderni turbocharged engine and Pirelli tyres, the JH22 was fitted with a normally-aspirated Ford-Cosworth DFZ V8 engine and Goodyear tyres.

As in 1986, AGS chose to enter one car for the season, and so built only two chassis, labeled #32 and #33. Italian shoe and clothing company El Charro[4][circular reference] continued as the team's main sponsor, and so the car, numbered 14, was painted in a white and red livery with a large rose above the nosecone.

fw11  1986

drivers:  Nelson Piquet & Nigel Mansell

williams grand prix engineering ltd.

 

The Williams FW11 was a Formula One car designed by Frank Dernie as a serious challenger to McLaren and their MP4/2C car. The car took over from where the FW10 left off at the end of 1985, when that car won the last three races of the season. The FW11's most notable feature was the Honda 1.5 Litre V6 turbo engine, one of the most powerful in F1 at the time producing 800 bhp. Added to the engine's power were the aerodynamics, which were ahead of the MP4/2C and the Lotus 98T.

The car was an instantly recognisable product of the turbo era of F1.

ram 03  1985

drivers:  Philippe Alliot,  Manfred Winkelhock  &  Kenny Acheson

ram racing team

 

RAM Racing was a Formula One racing team which competed during the racing seasons of 1976 to 1985. The team entered other manufacturers' chassis from 1976 to 1980, then ran March's team from 1981 to 1983, only entering a car entirely their own in 1984 and 1985.

The team was formed in 1975 by Mike Ralph and John Macdonald, with RAM derived from their names.

Hart turbos were used by three other teams – RAM (1984–85); Spirit (1984–85); and the Haas Lola team (1985–86). None of their teams performed that well

tg184  1984

drivers: Ayrton Senna, Johnny Cecotto, Stefan Johansson & Pierluigi Martini

toleman motorsport

 

The Toleman TG184 is a Formula One racing car designed by Rory Byrne and Pat Symonds and was used by Toleman Motorsport during the majority of the 1984 Formula One season. Like its predecessor, the TG183B, the TG184 was powered by the 4 cylinder turbocharged Hart 415T engine which produced approximately 600 bhp in 1984.

The car's potential was evident early on with a second place in only its second grand prix scored by then rookie driver Ayrton Senna in the rain affected Monaco Grand Prix.

The TG184 was replaced in 1985 by the TG185.

mp4-1c  1983

drivers: John Watson, Andrea de Cesaris & Niki Lauda

mclaren racing limited

 

The McLaren MP4/1 (initially known as the MP4) was a Formula One racing car produced by the McLaren team. It was used during the 1981, 1982 and 1983 seasons. It was the second Formula One car to use a monocoque chassis wholly manufactured from carbon fibre composite, after the Lotus 88 (which never raced), a concept which is now ubiquitous.

For the 1983 season, the car was updated into the MP4/1C, but it was no match against the more powerful turbos of Renault, Ferrari and BMW.

js19  1982

drivers: Jacques Laffite & Eddie Cheever

équipe ligier

 

The Ligier JS19 was a Formula One racing car manufactured and raced by Équipe Ligier during the 1982 Formula One season. Powered by a Talbot-badged Matra V12 engine.

The JS19 was designed by Michel Beaujon under the technical direction of Jean-Pierre Jabouille, who had retired as a driver from Formula One the previous year.

The Ligier team had raced the JS17B, an update of the 1981 car, for the early part of the year before introducing the JS19 at Monaco.  Ligier finished the year with 20 points, nine of which were scored with the JS19, for eighth in the Constructor's Championship.

drivers: Héctor Rebaque &  Nelson Piquet

brabham

 

The Brabham BT49 /ˈbræbÉ™m/ is a Formula One racing car designed by South African Gordon Murray. 

The car was initially designed in 1979 as a short notice replacement for the team's Alfa Romeo-engined BT48, after Brabham team owner Bernie Ecclestone decided to end his relationship with the Italian engine manufacturer. The BT49 was created in only six weeks using elements of the BT48 chassis together with the widely used Cosworth DFV engine. 

The BT49 was updated over four seasons taking a total of seven wins, six poles and 135 points. Seventeen were eventually built, most of which survive today.

re20  1980

drivers: Jean-Pierre Jabouille & René Arnoux

renault formula 1 team

 

The Renault RE20 was a Formula One car raced by the Renault team in the 1980 season. The car was designed by Francois Castaing and Michel Tétu and designed using Ground effect aerodynamics. The car was powered by the 1.5L turbocharged Renault Gordini EF1 engine, which by 1981 was producing a reported 520 bhp. This was roughly 50 more than the 3.0L Cosworth DFV V8 still in wide use at the time in Formula One, though Renault's power did lag behind the new 560 bhp turbocharged engine being used by Ferrari. In keeping with everything French on the car, the tyres used by Renault were Michelin.

lotus 79  1979

drivers: Mario Andretti, Carlos Reutemann & Héctor Rebaque

team lotus

 

The Lotus 79 is a Formula One car designed in late 1977 by Colin Chapman, Geoff Aldridge, Martin Ogilvie, Tony Rudd, Tony Southgate and Peter Wright of Lotus. The Lotus 79 was the first F1 car to take full advantage of ground effects aerodynamics.

Over the span of its lifetime, the Lotus 79 took 7 wins, 10 pole positions, 121 points and won the last drivers' and constructors' world championships for Lotus. The 79 is credited with pushing Formula One into the modern aerodynamics era. 

The 79 was to be replaced by the Lotus 80, intended to be the next step in the evolution of ground effects. The 80 proved to be a total failure and Lotus was forced to go back to the 79.

fa1  1978

drivers: Riccardo Patrese & Rolf Stommelen

arrows grand prix international

 

The FA1 was in reality a Shadow DN9, which Tony Southgate had designed for Shadow whilst working as a consultant for them. Southgate mistakenly believed that because he had designed the Shadow DN9 whilst working as a consultant (and not a Shadow employee) that he owned the intellectual rights to the Shadow DN9 design. Based on this misconception Arrows built the FA1, which was essentially a carbon copy of the DN9. The FA1 was banned by the London High Courts partway through the 1978 season and Arrows hurriedly designed and built a new car, the A1.

dn8  1977

drivers: Tom Pryce, Renzo Zorzi, Alan Jones, Riccardo Patrese, Jackie Oliver, Arturo Merzario & Jean-Pierre Jarier

Only one DN8 was produced for 1976, and it would not be until the third race of the following season that two DN8s were available for the drivers.

The DN8 remained in service for the early part of the 1978 Formula One season for the team's new drivers.

dn5b  1976

drivers: Jean-Pierre Jarier & Tom Pryce

shadow racing cars

 

The Shadow DN5 was a Formula One car used by the Shadow team during the 1975 Formula One season. Updated to a 'B' specification, it was used through the 1976 Formula One season and for the first two races of the following season. The DN5 proved to be a fast car, which qualified well several times.

While the reliability of the DN5B was much improved from its parent, it was not as competitive, at least during the latter part of the year.

The DN5B continued into the 1977 Formula One season, driven by Shadow's new driver, Renzo Zorzi, in the two first races of the year. While he retired from the Argentine Grand Prix,

frank williams racing cars

 

The Len Bailey-designed Politoys FX3 was a conventional Cosworth-engined car with a Hewland FG400 gearbox. For 1973 the FX3 was reworked as the Iso–Marlboro FX3B and a second car was built. Two new drivers were signed, New Zealand's Howden Ganley and Italy's Nanni Galli.

Motul and Politoys both withdrew their backing at the end of 1972, but Williams managed to attract backing from cigarette giant Marlboro and Italian sports car manufacturer Iso Autoveicoli S.p.A. for the 1973 season. The FX3B had become obsolete due to new deformable structure regulations and was replaced by the new Iso–Marlboro IR.

The Eifelland March E21 (also called the Eifelland Type 21) was a Formula 1 racing car raced by Eifelland in the 1972 season. It was developed, built and campaigned during this year to win the Grand Prix.

A March 721 was acquired in 1971 by Günther Hennerici, the owner of the team and converted into the E21.

There were no great successes with the vehicle, but Stommelen reached eight starts. Hennerici sold his racing company in the summer of 1972. The Austria Grand Prix was the last race of the Eifelland team in the Formula 1 World Championship.

team lotus

 

The Lotus 72 is a Formula One car designed by Colin Chapman and Maurice Philippe of Lotus for the 1970 Formula One season. The 72 was a pioneering design featuring inboard brakes, side-mounted radiators in sidepods (as opposed to the nose-mounted radiators, which had been commonplace since before World War II), and aerodynamic wings producing down-force.

The car was developed during 1971 by Tony Rudd who had formerly worked at BRM. He worked especially on redesigning the rear suspension and modified the rear wing to produce more downforce.

The engine was a Ford Cosworth DFV  V8, naturally aspirated and produced up to 465 bhp.

The BRM P153 was designed by Tony Southgate for the BRM team, which raced in the 1970, 1971 and 1972 Formula One seasons. It was powered by a 3.0-litre V12 engine. Its best result was victory at the 1970 Belgian Grand Prix, where Pedro Rodríguez beat the second-placed March of Chris Amon by just 1.1 seconds. The model was first shown in BRM's traditional British racing green, but by the time it appeared on the race tracks it was in the colours of the team's sponsor, Yardley of London.

Their existing 3.0-litre, 48-valve V12 engine produced approximately 435 bhp  with a redline of 11,000 RPM.

brabham

 

The Repco Brabham BT24 was one of three cars used by the Brabham racing team during their championship-winning 1967 Formula One season. Only three BT24 chassis were ever raced. Designed by Ron Tauranac, the BT24 was based on the BT23 Formula Two car and was notably light and compact.

In addition to its three championship race wins the BT24 also won the prestigious 1967 International Gold Cup at Oulton Park in the hands of Jack Brabham.

Brabham-Repcos were entered in the season opening 1969 South African Grand Prix by local drivers Sam Tingle and Peter de Klerk, but no points were scored.

equipe matra sports

 

The Matra MS11 is a Formula One car used by the Matra team during the 1968 Formula One season, developed from the successful MS7 F2 car. It was relatively unsuccessful.

The major problems were with the V12 engine, which was thirsty, underpowered, unreliable and prone to overheating. The car was raced almost exclusively by Jean-Pierre Beltoise with Henri Pescarolo driving a second car at the end of the season. Its best outing came at the 1968 Dutch Grand Prix where Beltoise finished second behind Stewart, and recorded the fastest lap. In 1969, Matra set aside the V12 project, concentrating on the DFV-powered MS80.

The Eagle Mk1, commonly referred to as the Eagle T1G, was designed by Len Terry for Dan Gurney's Anglo American Racers team. The Eagle, introduced for the start of the 1966 Formula One season, is often regarded as being one of the most beautiful Grand Prix cars ever raced at the top levels of international motorsport. Initially appearing with a 2.7L Coventry Climax inline 4-cylinder engine, the car was designed around a 3.0L Gurney-Weslake V12 which was introduced after its first four races.

The last appearance of an Eagle Mk1 in a Formula One race was when Pease privately entered 101 for the 1969 Canadian Grand Prix.

The 718 was a development of the successful Porsche 550A with improvements made to the body work and suspension. The car's full name is 718 RSK, where "RS" stands for RennSport (sports-racing) and the "K" reflects the shape of the car's revised torsion-bar suspension. It had a mid-engined layout and used the 142 horsepower 1.5-litre Type 547/3 quad-cam engine introduced in the 550A.

Formula One switched to a 1.5-litre formula in 1961 and Porsche entered three 718s for Dan Gurney, Hans Herrmann and Jo Bonnier. Gurney scored three 2nd places taking him to 4th place in the Drivers' Championship. For 1962, Porsche entered a new car, the Porsche 804 in Formula One.

The Porsche 787 is a Formula One racing car built and raced by Porsche for one year in 1961. Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, the founder's grandson, was involved in the design of what would become Porsche's first Formula One car.

Only two 787s, serial numbers 78701 and 78702, were ever built. Due to their lack of power and poor handling Ferry Porsche retired the model and continued with the 718/2 as a stopgap. Porsche would focus on the upcoming 804 and its flat-eight engine for Formula One in 1962. Both 787s were scrapped by the factory in 1964.

The engine was a Porsche 547/3 1,498 cc F4 boxer and produced 186 bhp.

The Cooper T53 is built by British motorsport team Cooper for the 1960  season. Jack Brabham drove it to his second World Championship that year, and with teammate Bruce McLaren gave Cooper its second Constructors' Championship.

 Power came from the latest version of 2.5 litre Climax FPF which developed around 240 bhp and drove the rear wheels through a Cooper five-speed gearbox.

In 1961 Cooper turned to the T55 but the T53 became a big sales success for the Cooper team, with no less than eight teams running it. Most teams ran the car with the 1.5 litre Climax FPF Mk. II

The BRM P25 was a Formula One racing car raced from 1956 to 1960 and the second car produced by the British Racing Motors consortium. After the failure of the complex BRM V16, the P25's design emphasized simplicity. The car was fitted with a 2.5-litre straight-4 engine, producing some 275 horsepower. The P25 would be the foundation of BRM's successes in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

The P25 began racing in non-championship events in September 1955. The car's horsepower proved to be its strong suit, but its handling and reliability problems were quickly revealed.

vanwall

 

The Vanwall Grand Prix cars are a series of open-wheel Formula One race cars, designed, developed and built by British manufacturer Vanwall, for Formula One racing, between 1954 and 1960.

Vanwall became the first team to win the Constructors' Championship, held for the first time that season. However, Moss lost out to Mike Hawthorn in the Drivers' Championship by a single point to finish second, with Brooks ending the season in third. Their triumph at the end of the season was sadly marred when, during the final race of the year in Morocco, Lewis-Evans was fatally injured in an accident.

The 1958 season was the last one in which Vanwall entered every race.

gordini

 

In 1955 Gordini presented a completely new Formula 1 racing car. The T32 was unveiled at the Montlhéry circuit. While Gordini had retained the ladder-type frame construction, the T32 had independent wheel suspension and disc brakes. The eight-cylinder in-line engine had a displacement of 2.5 liters and delivered 250 hp. However, the car was too heavy and the two copies built were inferior to the competition.

Élie Bayol and André Pilette scored their first points with the T32 at the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix, where they shared sixth place. It should remain the only placement with a T32 in the points at a world championship race.

connaught engineering

 

Connaught Engineering, often referred to simply as Connaught, was a Formula One, Formula Two and sports car constructor from the United Kingdom. Their cars participated in 18 Grands Prix, entering a total of 52 races with their A, B, and C Type Formula 2 and Formula 1 Grand Prix Cars. They achieved 1 podium and scored 17 championship points. The name Connaught is a pun on Continental Autos, the garage in Send, Surrey, which specialised in sales and repair of European sports cars such as Bugatti, and where the cars were built.

The Lea-Francis engine was extensively re-engineered and therefore is truly a Connaught engine.
