How do you define a factory team in Formula 1?

[Mark]

And yet this year we've seen Red Bull and McLaren soundly beating the 'works' teams with the same engines.

Williams - Privateer/Independant
Force India - Privateer/Independant

Changes in 2011:

Lotus Renault GP - Factory (Works)/Independant
Team Lotus and Marussia Virgin are still Privateer/Independant. Renault as a team are now just an engine manufacturer.

Future changes:
McLaren - Factory (Works)/Manufacturer (once they start making their own engines)

Bernie never drove F1. I do not think he got beyond the 500cc F3 class and certainly not beyond F2. Mosely drove in F2 but with little success. Neither ere worth much as drivers.

I thought he drove in a meeting (68?) but didn't qualify for the race. He didn't actually start a race but did drive a f1 car at a meeting.

Does that count? Does it matter

Red Bull design their own car, so surely they are a factory team?

Perhaps the original meaning of "factory" existed to distinguish 'works' cars from 'customer' cars. Factory & works obviously relating to where the cars were made.

Rob Walker purchased a Lotus 18 and went racing with Stirling Moss. His was very much a customer/privateer entry when compared with the works/factory Lotus team.

Both Red Bull and Honda might have been seen as factory teams when they were supplying Toro Rosso and Super Aguri with cars.

I guess there are four types of entrant;

Privateer
Independant
Manufacturer
Factory

What say?
