For the newest installment of Autosport’s Top Ten series, presenter Kevin Turner identifies the ten most impressive team introductions in world championship history, with celebrated F1 reporter and writer Maurice Hamilton offering his agreement or disagreement on the placements.
This compilation specifically examines each team’s initial Grand Prix participation, rather than their performance across an entire season. We have intentionally omitted manufacturers that had already established a strong presence by the time the world championship commenced in 1950, which means no Alfa Romeo (who secured a 1-2-3 finish in their inaugural race) or Ferrari (who placed second at Monaco).
