So far in this millennium there have been three really great Formula 1 team dynasties. Respectful apologies have to go to Renault (now Alpine) and McLaren, but in terms of sheer title numbers, they don’t come close to Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull.
At the end of 2021, the Black Arrows team, which may appear again next year in its traditional silver livery, will have seven world championship doubles (plus one more driver and one constructor’s crown each as a Brawn GP and this year’s constructor’s crown). . Ferrari has the six drivers and six constructors he needed in nine seasons up to 2008, five as doubles, after which the lasting effect of the super team Michael Schumacher / Jean Todt / Ross Brawn began to wear off.
