10 Most Successful Formula One Constructors Of All Time

10. Benetton

Now, many of you are probably thinking that Benetton is a clothing designer, not a Formula One constructor, and you would be right. But many years ago, they were both. And they were successful at both.

Initially, Benetton came into to Formula One the traditional way, as a sponsor. But, because they wanted more say on how the teams functioned, they bought the Toleman team in 1986. While initially competitive but not successful, Benetton did see a few wins thanks to Gerhard Berger and three-time World Champion Nelson Piquet.

Their fortunes took a turn for the better in 1991 when they signed a certain German: Michael Schumacher. In 1994, the hard work and the decision to put their faith in Schumacher paid off as they won the Driver's Championship, but they were unable to unseat the mighty Williams team for constructors' glory. That changed in 1995, with Schumacher, and teammate, Johnny Herbert, winning 11 Grands Prix, they stormed to both titles.

Schumacher leaving in 1996 was the beginning of the end for the team. Without their talismanic driver, they sunk back into the pack before Gerhard Berger brought them their final win in 1997.
