And 2 weeks after this video is released, Sauber renames to Alfa Romeo 🤣🤣
Sauber had ferrari engines for a while if i remember well :)
now toro rosso rebadged into alphatauri
In 1984 and 1985 Alfa Romeo's main sponsor was Benetton and the official name was Benetton Team Alfa Romeo. So when they bought Toleman in '86, the car had basically the same livery as the 1985 Alfa Romeo car.
Yep
@@rimacctwo6901 And Racing Point became Aston Martin.......
I paid more for my toy brawn gp car than Ross purchased a whole team
Stevie Small ya, there were more costs than that though
Kurt Sudheim dude it was a joke so take it as one
Stevie Small yes, I was just pointing out
Kurt Sudheim oh ok. Sorry for misinterpreting you.
@@kurtsudheim825 thanks captain obvious. There are these things called jokes, you should learn about them.
Brawn GP is the most successful F1 team because it won every championship it competed in :)
And using only half a budget of Honda
Im the best goalkeeper in the history of football, I have never been scored by a professional player
And they are the only one that have never built a F1 car.....
@@pese83 Considering the modifications they had to make to the 2009 Honda to make it the BGP001, I'd argue they did build their own car.
Win ratio by season 100% lol
We now need an updated version with Alpha Tauri, Alpine and Aston Martin
Toro rosso is alpha tauri, racing point is aston martin and renault is alpine
@@Knockthefout Have to also add the sauber to alfa romeo one then I think it is up to date
@@wanderrlust1833 no because alfa romeo is just a name sponsor the team is still owned by sauber just called alfa romeo
@@wanderrlust1833 Well seeing as they showed the Alfa Romeo version of the Sauber in this video but did not include it means they are not including rebrands like that Alpin and Aston. They are not NEW teams just rebrands of existing teams, owned by the same people.
I was just thinking the same, time for a updated video :)
When Toro Rosso gets a win before its big brother Red Bull.
And both wins were claimed by Sebastian Vettel.
Well the Toro Rosso did have a Ferrari engine . . .
when minardi can win
Yep
If you retrace each team previous predecessor, Stewart won a Grand Prix before Toro Rosso. So technically speaking Red Bull won their first grand prix earlier than Toro Rosso. Still at least Red Bull did win a title than his sister team
I'm Italian, and when I was 6(2009) I thought that RedBull and ToroRosso were the same thing, but I also tought "Why the commentator translates the name of a team?
That drove me crazy as well as the Lotus vs Lotus thing
And then I learnt the difference between "Who builds the engine" and "Who owns the team"
Who’s here after Toro Rosso is gonna be renamed Alpha Tauri?
Me
The livery is looking good
Me
Gergo Gajdos me
Me
Gergo Gajdos ME THE LIVERY IS AWSOME
Soo...Senna, Schumacher and Alonso were drivers for renault
And Senna has raced for Lotus and Team Lotus
Benetton was italian not french, but i dont remember it had a renault engine...
@@valenesco45 it was renault powered from 1998-2000 but badged as "Playlife" engine.
@@valenesco45 In 1995 the did have Renault engines
Kimi, button, kubica as well lol
The Lotus vs Lotus situation in 2011 gets even better if you know that Team Lotus also used Renault engines.
This caused the full team names to be "Team Lotus Renault" and "Lotus Renault GP".
In 2010 the Sauber team also had a pretty interesting name.
When BMW left at the end of 2009, the team lost their F1 entry, but thanks to the withdrawal of Toyota they could regain an entry.
To avoid losing the tv money they continued to race under the "BMW Sauber" name, although not being owned anymore or being sponsored by BMW.
And since they used Ferrari engines, they were fully named "BMW Sauber Ferrari".
This year we will have Aston Martin Red Bull Honda and Alfa Romeo Sauber Ferrari (although as Scuderia Ferrari originally began by racing Alfa Romeos before making their own cars, there is at least some logical connection to the second).
@@colehartel7206 Alfa is a FIAT brand anyway, so it's not as bad as the Red Bull name
@@counterfit5 - Alfa-Sauber ending 2017 into 2018 became Ferrari's junior team thereby contributing junior drivers and junior engineers to Ferrari. It now gets Ferrari funding.
Also its was funny that Lada sponsored Lotus Renault GP :D
wasn't Ferrari's full team name until not that long ago "Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro" despite the ban on tobacco advertising in F1?
So your saying when they say “Red Bull toro rosso” they are saying “Red Bull Red Bull” lmao
Yess
Just like Mario Mario then.
That's it. Toro Rosso has been the most stupid name for a team.
So hard for Red Bull maintain the old and nice name "Minardi"? Apparently yes. Fuck them ofd
@@Senna-78 Because Minardi is no longer the owner
@@Senna-78 there is an baseball team named The Los Angeles Angel's, which translate to "the the angels angels
The most interesting story was Ferrari.
Ferrari became a team in 1950, the start of Formula 1 and still is.
*The End*
Not quite. In 1964 Ferrari withdrew as a manufacturer mid season due to a dispute with the factory instead running the cars, in blue and white, for North American Racing for the last two races. Ferrari returned the next year.
@@Djarra Your definition is wrong, Historically, the color of Italian racing cars has always been racing red, the Ferrari 158 won the 1964 championship not in the traditional red livery, but in the white-blue color. In fact, in the last two races of the season, the United States Grand Prix and the Mexican Grand Prix, the 158 was lined up with the colors of the North American Racing Team team, with which Ferrari had a technical collaboration. Ferrari made this gesture in protest for the failure to homologate the 250 LM, which was to race in the Gran Turismo category but which instead was forced to confront the prototypes.
Actually, Ferrari became a team in 1929, entering Alfa Romeos.
Oh, and Formula 1 started in 1946.
The first World Drivers' Championship was held in 1950, most of the qualifying events were for Formula 1 cars, and Ferrari was one of the participants.
@@andytinkler2380 Ferrari/Fiat had no connection to Alfa back then
@@CapHowdy Scuderia Ferrari was formed in 1929 and was responsible for all Alfa's racing programme until WW2. Fiat first took an interest in Ferrari in 1969 and Alfa Romeo in 1986.
So Sauber changed its name to Alfa Romeo, but it's actually still owned by Sauber? Weird.
Alfa Romeo didn't buy the team, they just put in sponsor money enough to make Sauber call themselves Alfa Romeo.
Nathan Gamble Just sponsorship!
Just as with Toro Rosso/Alpha Tauri
alfa romeo is just a glorified title sponsor, sauber still operates the team
@@Someone25948 not exactly, alpha tauri only changed names (and opened a fashion brand), alfa romeo sponsored sauber to get their name on there
Ferrari is so complex. Definitely the most interesting
Sure started f1 as ferrari, present as ferrari. Not happened
@@rimi430 something flew over your head, didn't it
Nope because i didnt see it. 😋
@@rimi430 Must have been a Ferrari then 😊
Actually Ferrari started as Lancia or Alfa Romeo
Did you know that:
Jos verstappen Raced for Stewart.
Steward Became Jaguar then RedBull Racing
He ended his F1 Career with Minardi, what later became Toro Rosso
Max Verstappen Started his f1 carreer with Toro Rosso
and now Drives for Red Bull Racing
coincidence? Maybe
Ah, yes.... And Jos' last team to compete for was Minardi.... and we know what that team became :)
@@janytzentuinhof642 alpha tauri
Oh yes
#MV33
Verstinatti Confirmed
Last Jos Verstappen's team became the first one for Max Verstappen
When Renault renames to Alpine
Racing Point renames to Aston Martin
Toro Rosso renames to AlphaTauri
Sauber renames to Alfa Romeo
2 years later
You left off the most amazing F1 teams of all time, Life Racing Engines, Andrea Moda Formula, and MasterCard Lola!

Bertrand Gachot assaulting a taxi driver and being jailed, and we all know what that led to
Well its mostly the same: Kid has much money, has a Kart with 4years, win many times, becomes a f1 driver, FINISHED
i want to knowwhat happened to arrows, peugeot, caterham, HRT, Larrouse, ligier, prost and super aguri.
AND Lamborghini!
ozan baş HRT were HRT for 3 years then died, Caterham were Lotus for 2 years, then Caterham for 3 year, then died
@@Ewane where did their stuff go?
ARROWS was started by former Shadow employees in 1978, running a virtual copy of that year's Shadow car until they were legally forced to design their own one. Japanese company Footwork financed them between 1990 and 1996, causing the team to be renamed. Then Tom Walkinshaw bought them, the Arrows name came back, and they continued until money ran out in 2002. Fun fact, in 1998 and 1999 they used engines built by Brian Hart that were dubbed "Arrows", making them the first British F1 team to use their own engines since the 70s. The final Arrows car, the A23, was initially bought by Minardi but never used by them, instead becoming the basis of Super Aguri's SA05 in 2006.
LARROUSSE are interesting because they entered Formula 1 in 1987 with a chassis designed and built by former motor racing aces Lola. So officially the cars were Lolas, but entered by the Larrousse team (similar to BMS Scuderia Italia entering Dallara cars during the same era). When the results were mediocre at best, Larrousse switched to a chassis designed by Monegasque sports car maker Venturi in 1992, before designing their own chassis under the Larrousse name for '93 and '94. They were initially on the entry list for '95, planning to compete from the third race of the season onward, but didn't get the necessary funding together.
Who's here after Pierre Gasly just won Monza!?
Everyone who replies to this
I am
By 2019 Sauber becomes Alfa Romeo as the team was bought by Alfa. But still bares the C name in their chassis
By 2020 toro Rosso becomes alpha tauri.
By 2021 racing point will become Aston Martin racing because Lawrence stroll bought a share in Aston Martin which forces red bull to end their partnership with Aston Martin until the end of 2020.
Damn... the aston martin was such a cool logo on the car
Dorian Brecevic yeah! I loved it too
And also in 2021 Renault will become Alpine
Man yet another good quality video by wtf1
They are all good mate
Thanks matt for life king my comment
@@therandomgamingguy1014 I said yet another
Mercedes actually a honda confirmed
So honda is better than honda ??? WHAT?😲😲😲😲
Want even more of a mindfuck? In 2006, Honda created a daughter team called Super Aguri, named after, and I'm not kidding you here, team principal Aguri Suzuki. Yes, there was a *Suzuki* working for *Honda...*
Type RA Gaming so Mercedes which used to be Honda is better than Honda which used to be Mercedes.
@@D3HuC Im done😂😂
you wish its was a honda cause then atleast it had f1 power instead of gp2 power !!!!
There are much more interesting teams:
- Shadow
- Ligier (bought by Prost in '96)
- Arrows
- Brabham
Ligier became Prost Grand Prix, and that team is quite a disaster.
@@SultanNizi3000GT Bad luck plagued the Prost team when they had chances to win races and podiums. Peugeot engines were not that realiable however unlike their competitor manufacturers back in the day with Mercedes, Ferrari, Renault, Honda, and Ford. That's why Prost failed. I liked the looks of their midnight blue cars with Sony PlayStation as a sponsor.
I love and I'm fascinated by the real Lotus, the legacy of the incredible Colin Chapman. They went from leading f1 to disappearing almost entirely.
Similar story with Brabham. Drivers Title for Jack ( 1966) and Constructors Titles ( 1966 and 1967) and they disappeared in 1992. They were still competitive into the 1980s ( Nelson Piquet won the driver's title in 1981) but a disastrous switch from Cosworth to BMW engines in 1982 killed them.
They suffered from going broke in the 90s. Back then it was a doddle to get into the sport so they simply died and fell off after some weird backwards merger deal with Pacific. Nowadays, with the cost of getting into F1 so high, newcomers prefer to buy existing teams rather than start a new one so they'd probably have been bought out and survived albeit with a name change.
@@williamford9564 wasn't that disastrous, Piquet was 1983 champion with Brabham BMW. The first champion in a turbo car.
@@theant9821 Longer term it was. Piquet for one year masked the inadequacies in the car and engine. Patrese in the other car scored almost nothing. After that the team points in the constructors ( 72 total in 1983) fell to 38, 26 and 2 in 1986.
Benetton in 2000 and 2001 season - based in England (Enstone), owned by French (Renault), licensed in Italy.
Sexy hairy armpits HOT username checks out
I miss Jordan F1. The days of the minnows with a comparatively tiny budget genuinely fighting for wins, and at one stage, the championship were amazing.
The fact it wore the shamrock was a huge reason for pride for me too on a personal note.
£1 Then:Championship winning car
£1 Now:Williams.
1 pound is a overstatment. Williams should pay whoevers buys the team!!
2021 still remembered this one.
Thank you for spelling my surname correctly! Although Tyrrell’s first full season was 1971, my great-grandfather’s first race as a constructor was Summer of 1970 with Tyrrell001! (PS love the channel)
So, Ken Tyrrell is your great-grandfather? Legendary constructor.
Love me the Tyyrell P34...iconic in design with Scheckter and Depailler.
Quite cool if Ken Tyrrell is your great-grandfather :)
@@JonsterMonster So says his grandma, but...
@@fastcougar3200 wtf man? Stop with this PC stupidity. Do you have any factual evidence to confirm or deny his claim? If not just STFU.
The fact that, the fact that Toro Rosso translates to red bull blows your mind, blows my mind. If you hadn't put that together immediately you were probably comatose.
Lol
LoL really speak for yourself lol
It's called Scuderia Toro Rosso because the facility or "stable" is located in Italy.
@@jgonzalesm6 really ?? :)
@@Silva_GTR Probably. There's no other reason an Austrian team would choose to use Italian as the language to name their team. Otherwise they'd have called themselves Manschafftsroterstier or some such.
2 years later. Now Sauber is Alfa Romeo, Toro Rosso is Alpha Tauri, and Racing Point is Aston Martin
Don’t forget Alpine
English speakers: Oh look it's Red Bull & Toro Rosso!
Italians: Oh look it's Red Bull & Red Bull !
🤔
ehm no.. we just call them Red Bull & Toro Rosso
I always believed everyone knows tgar torro roso was red bull in italian
It's pretty obvious yeah
English speaking people only speaks english, apparently.
@@mikhailsilva6078 I'm English. It's not complex to figure out, it just depends if they'd bothered to think about it or not
me too its rlly fucking simple
if you didn't that would be kinda weird. Cause its obvs yeah
Another awesome video! Keep up the good work guys :)
Would be interesting to see Sauber updated for 2019 to include Alfa Romeo.. and then Alfa Romeo's history!
Sebastian Elgar-Cocks Would not be right as it is not owned by Alfa. They just sponsor the cars.
Matt is a natural. Very happy to see how much wtf1 has progressed. Keep up the good job!
"How done are you?"
"About medium rare"
Yup 👍
Brawn GP was absolutely brilliant, that was a real piss take. 😂
Mercedes is so good because their roots were from Honda, Brawn, and Tyrell! 😂🤔
The actual roots are Tyrell.....
Im kinda confused af ngl
@@zhuofengho7325 It may be helpful to write down what they say and watch it at 0.75x speed. I understand what you mean, this narrator talks very confusingly and fast.
Yeah, they actually bought Honda to eliminate the competition.
Please make a video about past teams, their origins and what became of teams such as BRM, the original Alfa Romeo, Wolf, the original Honda, Lancia, Maserati, Arrows, Dallara, Lola, Brabham, Cooper, etc.
Great Quality!!
Congrats WTF1!!
I really appreciated all of this as I had completely lost track of who's who. I used to watch Senna and Prost as a kid. Thanks.
Awesome video thank you WTF1
Enjoyed the very informative vid mate! Interesting facts and historic perspectives.
So mercedes now is not the 50s mercedes and renault now is not the 70s renault, ok
Not the same teams, but the same money.
Angga Pratama They are the same teams but they just bought what was left of those other teams to get their own teams running again.
And Ferrari of today is not the Ferrari of the 50s. Enzo died long ago, it's all Fiat now.
@@wingracer1614 - Ferrari is no longer a member of the FCA group.....it's just Ferrari.
@@wingracer1614 ehh, its always been the same ferrari though.
They didnt disappear for 30 years and bring a brand back,
I think it's really great that Ken Tyrell's entry ended up being one of the most successful teams in F1 history.
Thank you for the information. I have been confuse so many years . Now everything is clear . 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Fantastic video, answered questions id always asked as a new formula 1 fan
What a great video!
Maybe another video with the engine changes and it gets even more confusing? :)

Wrinkled Frotskin chill bruh he made a mistake
Matt will get a headache lol
Brilliant video. Thanks for the explanations.
Great summary! I would suggest to create a similar video of legendary, but already closed F1 teams, like the original Lotus, Arrows, Hesketh, Ligier, Maserati, Brabham. These were GP winners and their history is interesting.
Haas seems to have a very interesting history
Areeb Siddiqui Nascar especially
@mev202 that means nothing a cars part history is all over the place and don't expect ANYONE realistically to just START an F1 team.
They sort of do, there have been two unrelated U.S. F1 teams named Haas.
+crusherbmx Really, that's kind of interesting, I didn't know that.
One such interesting fact: only Ferrari, Torro Rosso (until 2018) and Sauber doesn’t have RA departments on England
ya probably yes, in 2019 Red Bull F1 empire has only one RA center
Yep on the 3 not in England.
@ya - No, Scuderia Toro Rosso is not and will not move to England.
Where is Sauber RA department located?
@@corner63 - Hinwil Switzerland.
Excellent video showing how the different teams evolved
Seen This Many Times In My Recommended, But Later On Decided To Watch This
Which team I am most intrigued of? Renault. Because despite changing to Lotus and back to Renault, it didn't harm the team. In fact, 2012/2013 have been 2 fantastic years with two great drivers we all love: Kimi Räikkönen and Romain Grosjean. Or the years before with Robert Kubica and Vitali Petrov. Damn, that was cool.
So the switch from Renault to Lotus didn't harm the team, neither the switch back to Renault.
Nobody outside of France loves Grosjean.
@@boostav or America
@@boostav nah even in France we don't like him 😂😂 Charles Leclerc is the the real deal though
@@AkhileshBhaugeerutty Indeed he is. Too bad he's not French though.
@@AkhileshBhaugeerutty But he's not even French...he's Monegasque.

Great video! I’d love to see this on a poster w/ all of the different cars 😍
Excellent Overview!
now
toro rosso=alpha tauri
renault=alpine
sauber=alfa romeo
racing point=aston martin
I need to watch this video, once again~
One of the greatest videos of CZcams!
The history of the current Mercedes team is most interesting to me. Tyrrell certainly had quite a run but eventually ran out of steam. I had the pleasure of meeting “Chopper” many years ago at an SAE exposition. Brawn GP is also a fascinating piece to the puzzle. One of the underrepresented aspects of Brawn GP is the extraordinary job they did to mate the Mercedes drivetrain to a car that had been designed to use Honda equipment. Mega!
I have 1 word: Lotus
This is my favorite part of F1.
It’s easy to enjoy, but there’s also so many little details that you can only really enjoy once you get to know them. Kinda like a mechanical watch.
Dude you unravelled this history nicely. 10/10
Great job thanks 👍
Wow, so Toro Rosso is basically older than Red Bull.
Kind of
Exactly. But that name, Toro Rosso, is absurd.
They could mantain the old name, recalling the team Red Bull-MINARDI Team.
yep
@@Senna-78 i so wish they kept the Minardi name in the team name :(
Ross Brawn had tons of winning experience when he was in charge with Michael Schumacher, so he knew the game well. I would've liked to see Jensen Button win more championships though.
Wooooooooow, I was blown away when you said that Brawn became Mecedes!!! I didn't have any clue of this!!!
Well, since 2019, a few team rebrands have happened. Renault was rebranded to Alpine to promote their sports cars company at the start of the 2021 season, Racing Point changed its name to Aston Martin in 2021, Toro Rosso changed its name to AlphaTauri in 2020, and Sauber changed its name to Alfa Romeo in 2019.
Who's here after hearing Racing Point is becoming the Aston Martin F1 team?
We need an updated version! Rich energy, Williams, racing point and slow Ferrari!
I love your work
great research. F1's history is fascinating
if you seeing this in 2019 there are a few changes
1.Sauber changed to Alfa Romeo Racing
2.Racing Point Force India changed to SportPesa Racing Point
More Edits soon
Sport Pesa is just a sponsor. If we count this as a name change too then RB was called Infiniti RBR, RBR Renault, RBR Tag Heuer etc
Ferrari will be bought by Chinese capital, and renamed Fellali. 😅
Technically, the Racing Point team is about to enter its first full season, having entered their first race as a new constructor at Spa in 2018. Because Lawrence Stroll bought the assets of Force India when they went into administration, it technically became a new team in the eyes of the FIA. The only reason it still had the Force India name for the rest of the season is because in Formula One the chassis name has to be in team name, and they were running Force India cars which were... Force India’s.
Awsome Info
Kudos to WTF1 for cleaning up the mess and explaining it without blowing themselves up!
Minardi...... still number one in my heart
Forza Minardi!
Ferrari:1950........2019.....
Forza rossa
Hahah well.... forza... that didnt age well
Matty Capp ha ragione e la Ferrari ha sbagliato ma dovrebbero tornare più forti
What a brilliant video
Cool video, it needs an update, and I would love a recap at the end showing all the team on the grid with the "classic" name :)
Why were Red Bull cars better and more reliable than Toyota or Honda ? Do you recommend I buy a RedBull for commuting?
Don't think they recommend a RedBull car.
Those RB's are a hell to get road legal;)
No. Just buy anything that has Adrian Newey's name in the "Designed By" box
I went into a Mercedes dealer and asked for a w10. The woman behind the desk looked at me as if I was from Mars. LMAO
Ferrari’s history is so complicated I can’t get my head around it
nicely done
Renault : 2016 - 2020
Alphine : 2021 - ???
Torro Rosso : 2006 - 2019
Alpha Tauri : 2020 - ???
Racing point : 2018 - 2020
Aston Martin : 2021 - ???
It's weird to be italian in this case, because knowing Toro Rosso means Red Bull is very normal, but apparently for others it's mind blowing 😕
Apparently no one ever noticed that Taurus is a bull...
It also annoys me how no englishman is able to write Toro,they all write Torro -_-
They call it Scuderia Toro Rosso because the facility or "stable" is in Italy.
No, it's not mind-blowing, everyone did know. Just this commentator.
I'm assuming he said that as a joke, it's hard to believe anyone could not know it.
3:16 Sauber has been renamed to Alfa Romeo as of 2019.
that final graph would make an amazing poster!
I'm new to the sport and this video blew my mind.
You forgot to mention that Williams became Wolf Racing, and later was reopen as Williams as a new team by Sir Frank Williams.
Yeah, also watched the documentary?
...and that the first Williams Formula 1 team ran Brabham, de Tomaso and March cars, before becoming a constructor as first Politoys, then Iso-Marlboro, then Williams, then Wolf-Williams, before Frank was forced out of his own team and ran a March again, before becoming a constructor again in 1978.
I got an idea that this video was going to be short on accuracy when it was stated that "Williams has always been Williams" in the introduction. :-) :-) :-)
Well Look At Renault's New Name For Next Season
Fascinating!
Good video
The really weird thing about Sauber was they still had to compete officially as "BMW Sauber" in 2010, despite running Ferrari engines.
Yeah, that's down to the FIA refusing to allow teams to rename themselves once they've registered for the season. Marussia had the same problem when they bought Virgin, they had to be called "Marussia Virgin Racing". They had a similar problem when Manor bought them back again, being called "Manor Marussia Racing". It's all very odd.
Ferrari be like: nah we ain't changing
I kind of love that the main Honda engined team today is competing for the championship with the team which Honda is responsible for launching into the big time. Brawn GPs car was after all largely built by Honda and that is where Mercades came back.
I think you should do one about the F1 teams and the engines they used . Like Williams team using a Renault engine
