|
The '
Formula One World Constructors' Championship (WCC)' is awarded by the
FIA to the most successful
Formula One constructor over a season, as determined by a
points system based on Grand Prix results. The Constructors' Championship was first awarded in
1958, to
Vanwall.
Different car make/engine combinations are considered to be different constructors for the purposes of the Championship. Constructors' Championship points are calculated by adding points scored in each race by any driver for that constructor. Up until
1979, most seasons saw only the highest-scoring driver in each race for each constructor contributing points towards the Championship. On only nine occasions has the World Constructors' Champion team not contained the World Drivers' Champion for that season.
In the 49 seasons the Championship has been awarded, only 12 different constructors have won it, with
Scuderia Ferrari the most successful, with 14 titles including 6 consecutive from
1999 to
2004. The reigning Constructors' Champions are
Renault, who scored 206 points in
2006.
Only three countries have produced winning constructors. The United Kingdom (32 championships), Italy (14) and France (3). However, winning engine manufacturers have come from seven nations. Italy (14 championships), the United States of America (10), France (8), Japan (6), the United Kingdom (6), Australia (2), Japan (2), Luxembourg (2) and Germany (1).
