    Ancestral championship standings

    1) Tyrrell Racing
    2) Stewart Grand Prix
    3) Frank Williams Racing Cars
    4) Scuderia Ferrari
    5) Mclaren
    6) Jordan Grand Prix
    7) Minardi F1 team
    8) Toleman
    9) Virgin Racing
    10) Sauber F1 Team
    11) Lotus Racing

    Tracing each of the current teams (well ones that started the season) to their origins. Interesting how Jackie Stewart played a major role in the top two.

    Ken Tyrell's first proper season used Matra chassis.

    Matra (Mécanique Aviation TRAction) bought the existing car company Automobiles René Bonnet in the late 1960s

    Automobiles René Bonnet was the sucessor of Deutsch-Bonnet which was founded in 1938.

    Deutsch-Bonnet's first car was a Panhard based cabriolet at the 1950 Paris Motor Show.

    Panhard was originally called Panhard et Levassor and was founded in 1891. Incidentally, Panhard et Levassor finished 1-2 in the 1895 Paris–Bordeaux–Paris which might be considered to be the first proper motor race.
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    I got to see the Matra MS650s (I believe that's what they were called) run at Daytona and Sebring, and they sounded so wonderful. I hated it when they got out of racing, but I believe they were a missile manufacturer anyway. I don't remember how they got into racing, but they build some great sounding engines.

    Shouldn't this be on the "History" forum?

    Probably not because it's about the current season.

    Sorry, when I saw references to Tyrrell, Sir Jackie Stewart, Minardi, Toleman, Lotus, and Matra I didn't see the current season I saw "History".

    Does this thread follow on from a previous one that I missed or something?

    Just taking the current standings and looking at where all the teams came from. A random activity.

    What's the lineage from Mercedes to Tyrell? As I understood it the Merc is from Brawn>Honda>BAR who were a new team from Prodrive when they started?
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.
