Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class ofopen-wheeledmotorsport defined by theFédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body.[1] The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform.[2] TheF1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known asGrands Prix, held usually on purpose-builtcircuits, and in a few cases onclosed city streets.[3] The World Constructors' Championship is presented by the FIA to the most successful F1constructor over the course of the season through apoints system based on individual Grand Prix results. Constructors' Championship points are calculated by adding points scored in each race by any driver for that constructor.[4] According to FIA regulations, the constructor of a chassis and an engine of aFormula One car is a person or corporate entity that owns the intellectual rights to the chassis and the engine of the car that a team/entrant enters into a competition.[5]
From the inaugural season of the World Constructors' Championship in1958 up until the1978 season only the highest-scoring driver in each race for each constructor contributed points towards the World Constructors' Championship (then officially as theInternational Cup for Formula One Constructors); since the1979 season points from all cars entered by each constructor have counted towards their championship total.[6] The Constructors' Championship is won when it is no longer mathematically possible for another constructor to overtake another's points total regardless of the outcome of the remaining races,[7] although it is not officially awarded until theFIA Prize Giving Ceremony held in various cities following the conclusion of the season.[8]
The Constructors' Championship was first awarded, as theInternational Cup for Formula One Manufacturers, in1958 toVanwall.[9] In1981 this name was officially changed to theWorld Constructors' Championship. The makes of both chassis and an engine are included in the constructor name.[10]
Out of the 170 chassis constructors that have entered an F1 Grand Prix,[11] a total of 15 have won the Championship in its 68 seasons.Ferrari holds the record for the highest number of World Constructors' Championships victories, having won the title on 16 occasions.McLaren are in second position with ten Constructors' Championships.Williams are in third position with nine Constructors' Championships andMercedes are in fourth with eight titles.[12][13] With 16 titles, Ferrari has amassed the highest number of Constructors' Championships as an engine manufacturer, followed byRenault,Ford,Mercedes andHonda with twelve, ten, ten and six titles, respectively.[14] Mercedes holds the record for the most consecutive constructors' titles with eight between the2014 and the2021 seasons.[15]
All but 17 titles (16 titles won by Italian-builtFerrari chassis and 1 title won by French-builtMatra chassis) have been won by chassis that were designed and constructed in the United Kingdom.[16] On eleven occasions, the World Constructors' Champion team has not contained the World Drivers' Champion for that season.[13] All titles but one (in1969Matra cars were entered byKen Tyrrell'sprivateer teamMatra International) have been won by cars that were entered byworks teams.[17][18] Among drivers that have contributed with at least a single point to the constructors' title,Lewis Hamilton has contributed to the most with eight constructors' titles, all of them withMercedes.[19]
