1953 Hans Stuck D NIL (Stuck was born in Warsaw in 1900. Although his parents were of Swiss ancestry, they had moved to Germany by the time Stuck was born, and he grew up there. He was called up for military service in World War I in 1917. In 1918, his older brother Walter was killed, along with Walter’s commanding officer; as a result, Stuck met the commander’s sister, Ellen Hahndorff, and they were married in 1922. After several years, Stuck’s involvement in the fast life off the track as well as on caused them to split up and divorce. In 1931, he met Paula von Reznicek, a famous tennis player; they were married in 1932. The fact that she had a Jewish grandfather caused Stuck some problems with the rise of the Nazis, but his personal relationship with Hitler saved him from serious trouble. In 1939, he met Christa Thielmann, at that point engaged to Paula’s youngest brother. Stuck and Paula divorced in 1948, and he married Christa that year. Their son, Hans-Joachim, was born in 1951.)

INCEPTION: 1986-1989
COMMENTS: Automobiles Gonfaronnaises Sportives (“AGS” or Gonfaron Sports Cars) was a small French racecar constructor, who competed in various racing categories over a period of 30 years, including Formula One from 1986 to 1991. The team was founded by the French mechanic, Henri Julien, who ran a filling station – the “Garage de l’Avenir” in a picturesque provincial village called Gonfaron. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Julien regularly attended racing events in minor classes. He was a mediocre driver but showed a degree of technical knowledge. As a result, he eventually changed his profession to constructing racing cars.

His car dealing and property trading came high on his list of priorities; he owned many very famous homes during his property dealing days in the 1970s and 80′s in Ireland and England. He was very well known in his native Dublin. He hit the Irish Press in the Fifties due to being the first Irishman to get a royal invitation to the first British Grand Prix at Silverstone. seen right on grid. Following his withdrawal from racing, Kelly concentrated on his business interests, which included the Irish Ferrari concession. After 1955 and the crash at Oulton Park, Kelly worked on building up car showrooms in England, then in 1969 sold them all and decided to move back to Athy, Ireland. This is where he started his property portfolio which resulted in Kelly owning some of the most impressive estates in the country, including Old Conna Hill near Dublin. In the late 1970s and 80s Kelly started a collection of rare and expensive cars which included Lamborghini, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce.

AMON

TEAM: AMON
NATIONALITY: NZ/GB
INCEPTION: 1974
COMMENT: Christopher Arthur Amon MBE (born 20 July 1943 in Bulls, New Zealand) is a former motor racing driver. He was active in Formula One – racing in the 1960s and 1970s – and is widely regarded to be one of the best F1 drivers never to win a championship Grand Prix. His reputation for bad luck was such that fellow driver Mario Andretti once joked that “if he became an undertaker, people would stop dying”. Apart from driving, Chris Amon also ran his own F1 team for a short period in 1974. Away from F1, Amon had some success in sports car racing, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 1966.

Amon (also known as Chris Amon Racing), was a Formula One team that competed in 1974. Fresh from the 1973 disaster at Tecno, but encouraged by the potential of the undeveloped Gordon Fowell chassis, driver Chris Amon tried running his own F1 car in 1974. Financial backing came from John Dalton, and the car, designed by Fowell, followed the Lotus 72 in some areas of construction, with sophisticated torsion-bar suspension and side radiators.The venture failed completely. Amon qualified but retired from the team’s first race at the Spanish Grand Prix. Both Amon and Larry Perkins failed to qualify the car for the German Grand Prix. Amon failed to qualify again for the Italian Grand Prix and the team closed down after the race when the money ran out.

In March 1996, Tom Walkinshaw bought a stake in the team, and in September Walkinshaw signed up World Champion Damon Hill and hired wealthy Brazilian Pedro Diniz to help pay for Hill’s salary. The team nearly secured a maiden victory at the 1997 Hungarian Grand Prix where Hill started in third position and passed Michael Schumacher to take first place. A component failure in the final laps of the race saw him finish second. In the following years Walkinshaw would buy the rest of Oliver’s shares. Brian Hart, who had been the engine supplier since 1995, was employed by the team, designing the Yamaha-badged engines, and later the Arrows-badged engine, in 1998.

INCEPTION: 1952
COMMENT: Aston Butterworth was a Formula Two constructor from the United Kingdom, during the years 1952-3 when Formula One was not the World Championship category (although colloquial use of the term “Formula One” usually incorrectly includes this period). They participated in four World Championship Grands Prix, entering a total of four cars.The project was instigated by Bill Aston, who decided to build a car for Formula Two; the chassis was a copy of the Cooper Formula Two, fitted with a flat-four engine devised by Archie Butterworth. (It has been suggested by several authors that a more accurate name for the car would be Cooper-AJB.)[citation needed] The car made its debut in April, 1952 in the Lavant Cup at Goodwood, finishing eighth with Aston at the wheel. In May a second car was added, driven by Robin Montgomerie-Charrington and driven at Chimay in June, where Montgomerie-Charrington achieved the team’s best finish: third place. Aston continued to appear in races throughout the 1953 season but there was never enough money to develop the program properly and when the new F1 regulations came in 1954 the story of Aston-Butterworth came to an end.

In 1997, BMW announced that it had formed a partnership with Williams Grand Prix Engineering in order to provide V10 engines in 2000. By 2005, disputes led to a rapid decline in the partnership of BMW and Williams. Constant disagreements over the cause of technical failures in the car led BMW to discontinue development of the P84/5 V10 as the season progressed, leading to no victories for the team’s new driver line-up of Mark Webber and Nick Heidfeld. Consequently, the car finished a distant 5th in the constructors’ championship. Wanting a split from their failing relationship with Williams, BMW’s executives decided that adding an F1 team to the company’s motorsport division, thus removing the necessity for a partner, was the only viable solution. Enticed by Sauber’s new multi-million dollar research and development facility, which included an advanced wind tunnel setup, BMW choose to offer a buyout to Peter Sauber rather than scramble to build the facilities themselves. Sauber took the offer, and the buyout went through; the team began racing under the BMW-Sauber F1 name in 2006. The team being split between the Sauber facility at Hinwil, Switzerland and BMW in Munich.

BEHRA

TEAM: BEHRA
NATIONALITY: F
INCEPTION: 1959-1960
COMMENT: The company was founded by Jean Behra, an established French racer. He had been driving a Ferrari D246 in 1959 but was dismissed from the team after the French GP. With designer Valerio Colotti, using Porsche components, he had an F1 car built at Modena in 1959. The car was to debut at Monte Carlo in 1959, Maria Teresa de Filippis failed to qualify. Behra intended to race the car in Germany but was killed in a racing accident driving a Porsche RSK at AVUS on August 1, 1959 just before the Grand Prix. The car was taken on by the Colotti team. The Behra-Porsche Porsche Special debuted at the Argentine Grand Prix of February 7, 1960 driven by Masten Gregory (US), he finished 12th. Fred Gamble (US) drove the car in the Italian GP at Monza on September 4, 1960 and finished 10th – nine laps down and the bottom of the field.

BELLASI

TEAM: BELLASI
NATIONALITY: CH
INCEPTION: 1970-1971
COMMENT: Bellasi was a Formula One constructor from Italy that raced under Swiss nationality. They participated in 6 grands prix during the early 1970s, entering a total of 6 cars. Guglielmo Bellasi was one of several car manufacturers to try to establish themselves in Italian Formula 3 circles in the late 1960s. For 1970 Swiss racer Silvio Moser commissioned Bellasi to design a Grand Prix car for him. This Cosworth-powered entry failed to qualify and again in France. The team did not bother to go to Britain because there was no starting money and there was another failure to qualify in Germany before Moser finally made it onto the grid at the Austrian GP. The car lasted 13 laps before breaking down and at Monza it was back to non-qualification. The car reappeared for the non-championship Argentine Grand Prix in 1971, entered by the Jolly Club. In September the car popped up again at the Italian GP and qualified but retired after only five laps.

After the 13th and final race of the season, the Mexican Grand Prix, Brabham did retire. He had tied Jackie Stewart for fifth in the points standings in the season he drove at the age of 44.

The situation was exacerbated by the lack of marshals on the French circuit, or indeed anyone who could have assisted. A 30 minute delay ensued before an emergency helicopter arrived. De Angelis died 29 hours later in the hospital in Marseille to which he had been taken, from injuries caused by the smoke inhaled during the accident.

1992 Damon Hill GB NIL (Canon Williams-Renault)

British businessman Bernie Ecclestone owned Brabham during most of the 1970s and 1980s, and later became responsible for administrating the commercial aspects of Formula One. Ecclestone sold the team in 1988. Its last owner was the Middlebridge Group, a Japanese engineering firm. Midway through the 1992 season, the team collapsed financially as Middlebridge was unable to make repayments against loans
provided by Landhurst Leasing. The case was investigated by the UK Serious Fraud Office. A disappointing conclusion to a great marqué.

BRAWN RACING

TEAM: BRAWN GP FORMULA ONE TEAM LTD
NATIONALITY: JAP/GB
INCEPTION: 2009-2010
COMMENT: Ross Brawn, former manager of Ferrari, bought Team Honda, streamlined the team, purchased engines from Mercedes-Benz and, at the last time before the  inaugural race in Melbourne, Richard Branson flew in to write a cheque as the team’s sponsor through Virgin enterprises. Virgin pays Brawn $30million for the advertising space on the car, they then sell the space themselves. If they sell it for $60million they cancel out the $30million they already paid Brawn and net themselves a $30Million profit. This continued deal will guarantee the $30million for Brawn each year which will pay for their FIA mandated yearly budget, protecting their place on the grid and not putting them at risk again. Whilst Virgin makes money on top and takes the budget out for the next year. In 2010, Brawn GP became Mercedes GP, sponsored by Petronas and luring Formula One supremo, Michael Schumacher, back from retirement. Virgin left the team to pursue their own F1 team.

YEAR NAME NAT. POINTS/RESULTS
Virgin Brawn-Mercedes (1st. 177 pts.)
One of the most remarkable debut victories in Grand Prix history. The newly acquired Brawn Team (formerly Honda), comes in first and second at the Australian G.P. Barrichello managed to come in second when Vettel and Kubica, who were second and third respectively, knocked each other out with only two laps  remaining. Not since the French Grand Prix in 1954 has an inaugural team to Formula One finished one-two on their debut. The last time that happened was with Juan Manuel Fangio and Karl Kling for Mercedes-Benz.
2009 Jenson Button GB WORLD CHAMPION (99pts.)  Won the Australian G.P. on the team’s debut race. From zero to hero. Button received an MBE from the British government while Ross Brawn received an OBE. (McLaren-Mercedes)
2009 Rubens Barrichello BR 4th (89 pts.) Won his first race in five years at Valencia, Spain during the European Grand Prix. (Williams-Cosworth)

A precedent in Formula One history to have a team debut and win the World Championship for both the team and the driver. In 2011, Brawn Racing dissolved into Mercesdez-Benz GP.

BRITISH AMERICAN RACING (BAR)

TEAM: BRITISH AMERICAN RACING (BAR)
NATIONALITY: USA/JAP
INCEPTION: 1998-2005
COMMENT: British American Tobacco (BAT) had been involved in Formula One for
many years, with several of its brands being displayed on F1 cars. In 1997 the corporation was convinced by Craig Pollock to provide most of the equity to purchase the Tyrrell Formula One team for £30 million. Pollock, Adrian Reynard and Rick Gorne were the minority partners. The deal was announced on 2 December 1997. The team was still officially known as Tyrrell in 1998, before it became BAR the following year.
The team was named after British American Tobacco plc (BAT), which owned and sponsored it in order to display its Lucky Strike and 555 brands. In mid-November 2004 Honda purchased 45% of the team, and in September 2005 purchased the remaining 55% share to become the sole owner. Consequently BAR Honda became the Honda team for the 2006 Formula One season. BAT continued as title sponsor with the Lucky Strike brand, but due to new tobacco advertising regulations worldwide pulled its Lucky Strike sponsorship from Formula One entirely at the end of the 2006 season.

Spence was due to race the revolutionary Lotus 56 gas turbine car. However, during practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway a week before the race, Spence misjudged his entry to turn one and collided heavily with the concrete wall. The right-front wheel of the Lotus swiveled backwards into the cockpit and struck Spence on the helmet. Mike Spence died in the hospital, from massive head injuries, a few hours after the accident.

1971 Howden Ganley NZ 5 pts. (15th)
1971 Jo Siffert CH 19 pts. (5th) (Jo Siffert won the 1971 Austrian Grand Prix, but then was killed in the non-Championship World Championship Victory Race at Brands Hatch, the scene of his first and greatest victory in 1968. The suspension of his BRM had been damaged in a lap 1 incident with Ronnie Peterson, and broke later. The BRM crashed and Siffert could not get out of the burning car. This accident led to a rapid overhaul of safety, both in-car and on circuit. In the subsequent Royal Automobile Club (the UK organising and regulatory representative of the FIA at the time) investigation it was discovered that the crash itself caused non-fatal injuries but Siffert had been killed by oxygen starvation and smoke inhalation. None of the trackside fire extinguishers worked, and it was found impossible to reach the car and extract Siffert. On-board fire extinguishers became mandatory and piped air for the drivers, direct into their helmet. Thus, perhaps one of the sad epitaphs of Seppi, was the focus on vehicle and driver safety in Formula One and lesser formulae and far better fire retardant driving overalls. His funeral in Switzerland was attended by 50,000 people.

BUGATTI

TEAM: BUGATTI
NATIONALITY: F
INCEPTION: 1956-1956
COMMENT: Bugatti was founded in Molsheim, France, as a manufacturer of high performance automobiles by Ettore Bugatti, an Italian man described as an eccentric genius. The original company is legendary for producing some of the most exclusive cars in the world as well as some of the fastest. The original Bugatti brand failed with the coming of World War II, like many high-end marques of the time. The death of Ettore’s son Jean was also a contributory factor. The company struggled financially and released one last model in the 1950s before eventually being purchased for its airplane parts business in the 1960s. Today the name is owned by Volkswagen Group who have revived it as a builder of very limited production sports and exotic cars.
