“Races” counts weekends, not cars – otherwise every two-car team would have twice as many starts as races. “Cars finishing”, by contrast, counts cars: each one is a separate test of the engineering.

The team through its name changes

The same team under a succession of names – without this lineage, every team's history would end at every sale.

Across the whole line: 872 races, 65 wins, 68 pole positions and 3 constructors' titles.
