List of Formula One constructors#Constructors for the {{CURRENTYEAR}} season

In Formula One racing the terms "constructor" and "entrant" have specific and differing meanings. An entrant is the person or corporate entity that registers a car and driver for a race, and is then responsible for preparing and maintaining that car during the race weekend. As a result of this preparation role and active involvement in the running of the race, the term "team" has become commonly applied to an entrant organisation.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} Statisticians do not always agree on how to count statistics related to these entities.{{Cite news|url=https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/f1/2020-turkish-grand-prix-qualifying-stroll-skates-to-pole-in-istanbul|title=2020 Turkish Grand Prix qualifying: Stroll skates to pole in Istanbul|date=14 November 2020|access-date=1 January 2021|last=Dodgins|first=Tony|work=Motor Sport|archive-date=27 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201127132749/https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/single-seaters/f1/2020-turkish-grand-prix-qualifying-stroll-skates-to-pole-in-istanbul|url-status=live}}

Under Article 6.3 of the FIA Sporting Regulations, "A constructor is the person (including any corporate or unincorporated body) which designs the Listed Parts set out in Appendix 6. The make of an engine or chassis is the name attributed to it by its constructor." These "listed parts" include the survival cell, the front impact structure, the roll structures and bodywork. However, if the chassis and engine are made by different entities, the constructor comprises both (e.g. McLaren-Mercedes, Lotus-Climax etc.), with the name of the chassis constructor being placed before that of the engine constructor.{{Cite web|url=https://thenewswheel.com/quick-guide-to-formula-one-constructors/|title=Quick Guide to Formula One Constructors|last=Verlin|first=Kurt|date=10 October 2017|website=The News Wheel|language=en-US|access-date=2 February 2020}} As both chassis and engine are included in the constructor name, chassis run with different engines are counted as two separate constructors and score points separately. This occurred for the last time in the {{F1|1985}} season when the Tyrrell team ran their chassis powered by both Ford and Renault engines, scored points with both engines and thus finishing 9th as Tyrrell-Ford and 10th as Tyrrell-Renault in the World Constructors' Championship.

Under article 6.2 of the FIA sporting regulations, "The title of Formula One World Champion Constructor will be awarded to the competitor which has scored the highest number of points". From the inaugural season of the World Constructors' Championship in {{F1|1958}} up until the {{F1|1978}} season only the highest-scoring driver in each race for each constructor contributed points towards the World Constructors' Championship (then officially as the International Cup for Formula One Constructors); since the {{F1|1979}} season points from all cars entered by each constructor have counted towards their championship total.

Since the {{F1|1981}} season the FIA have required that Formula One entrants own the intellectual rights to the chassis that they enter, and so the distinction between the terms "entrant" and "constructor", and hence also "team", have become less pronounced, though the intellectual rights of engines may still be owned by a different entity.{{efn|The Equipe Banco Occidental team became the last privateer team to have entered a Williams car for a race alongside the Williams works team at the 1981 Spanish Grand Prix, but eventually withdrew before the practice and qualifying.}} That season also saw the International Cup for Formula One Constructors be officially renamed to the World Constructors' Championship.

Before this time, constructors were free to sell their chassis to as many other teams as they liked. Brabham and Lotus chassis were used extensively by other teams during the 1960s and 1970s and several quite competitive privateer teams never built their own chassis. Rob Walker Racing Team was the most successful example, being responsible for the first victories in Formula One for both Cooper and Lotus. The concept of a "works" or "factory" team (i.e. the official team of the company producing the cars, as opposed to a customer team which buys them off the shelf) therefore applied to chassis in the same way as it does in rallying and sports car racing.

There have been some recent exceptions where a specialist company, not itself entered in the championship, has been commissioned to design and build a chassis for a team, e.g. Lola built cars for the Larrousse team ({{F1|1987}}-{{F1|1991}}) and the Scuderia Italia team ({{F1|1993}}) and Dallara built cars for the Scuderia Italia team ({{F1|1988}}-{{F1|1992}}). Larousse had their points from the {{F1|1990}} season erased after the FIA decided that they had falsely nominated themselves and not Lola as the chassis constructor. In {{F1|1978}}, the new Arrows team which had been established by former Shadow personnel was sued by Shadow on the grounds that the Arrows FA/1 car was a copy of Shadow's DN9 – a view upheld by the UK High Court, which placed a ban on Arrows racing the FA/1. There have been more recent cases with Ligier (1995), Sauber (2004), Scuderia Toro Rosso (2006–2007) and Super Aguri (2007–2008) where teams have been accused of using a chassis produced by another constructor (respectively Benetton, Ferrari, Red Bull Racing and Honda). No action was taken against any of these teams, the sporting authorities being satisfied in each case that the team owned the intellectual property to the chassis they raced.

From the middle of the {{F1|1973}} season (the 1973 Belgian Grand Prix){{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Zolder-1973-05-20e.jpg|title=1973 Belgian Grand Prix Entry list}} until the end of the {{F1|2013}} season, each team had permanent racing numbers from race to race throughout the season. Between the {{F1|1974}} and {{F1|1995}} seasons the numbers were based on the teams' finishing positions in the 1973 Constructors' Championship (with slight modifications, e.g. Ferrari's traditional numbers were 11–12 until {{F1|1980}} and 27–28 from {{F1|1981}} onwards) and each team only changed numbers if they had the driver who had won the World Drivers' Championship in the previous season – the winning driver taking the number 1 and his teammate the number 2, and the team that had previously had those numbers switching to the newly vacated ones. Between {{F1|1996}} and {{F1|2013}} the numbers were based on the teams' finishing positions in the Constructors' Championship from the previous season, with numbers 1 and 2 assigned to the defending champion and his teammate. During the period of 1974–1995 Tyrrell was the only team to keep the same numbers (3 and 4) every season. Since {{F1|2014}}, racing numbers have been assigned to drivers instead of teams.

The number of cars entered by one team into a single race was not strictly limited in the 1950s and early 1960s. Since the {{F1|1963}} season teams were generally allowed to enter only two regular cars, with the third car reserved for an occasional driver. This rule was further promoted in the {{F1|1974}} season when the permanent racing numbers were assigned to each team in pairs, with the third car having the racing number out of the pair. Entering more than three cars was exceptionally tolerated, most notably regarding the BRM team in the {{F1|1971}} and {{F1|1972}} seasons. However, many teams during this period entered only two cars, e.g. Ferrari have entered no more than two cars (with one exception at the 1976 Italian Grand Prix in connection with Lauda's comeback){{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Monza-1976-09-12e.jpg|title=1976 Italian Grand Prix Entry list}} every season since {{F1|1973}}. Since the {{F1|1985}} season the FIA have required that teams enter no more than two cars for a race; during this season Renault became the last team to have entered three cars for a race at the 1985 German Grand Prix, but only two of their cars were eligible for championship points.

Teams take the nationality of their parent National Automobile Club that issued their licence for the period of validity of that licence and the change of the nationality is allowed. Several teams changed their nationality during their competition in Formula One, some of them even twice (e.g. Shadow in {{F1|1976}} from American to British,{{cite web|title=Shadow|url=https://www.statsf1.com/en/shadow.aspx|publisher=StatsF1|accessdate=6 May 2022}} Benetton in {{F1|1996}} from British to Italian,{{cite web|title=Benetton|url=https://www.statsf1.com/en/benetton.aspx|publisher=StatsF1|accessdate=6 May 2022}} Red Bull in {{F1|2007}} from British to Austrian,{{cite web|title=Red Bull|url=https://www.statsf1.com/en/red-bull.aspx|publisher=StatsF1|accessdate=6 May 2022}} Renault in {{F1|2011}} from French to British and in {{F1|2016}} back to French{{cite web|title=Renault|url=https://www.statsf1.com/en/renault.aspx|publisher=StatsF1|accessdate=6 May 2022}}). At the 1997 German Grand Prix Benetton became the only team to have achieved victories while racing under two different nationalities. The team's nationality, determined by a racing licence that a team holds, subsequently determines a national anthem played after a race on the podium in honour of a winning team following a national anthem played in honour of a winning driver.{{efn|E.g. both in {{F1|2000}} and {{F1|2001}} Benetton was owned by the French company Renault and was based in Britain, yet in case of win an Italian anthem would have been played for a winning team because the French-owned British-based team held an Italian licence in both seasons.}}

Before the arrival of sponsorship liveries in the {{F1|1968}} season the team's nationality also determined the colour of a car entered by the team; thus, Italian teams' cars were rosso corsa red, French were bleu de France blue, and British (with several exceptions, such as cars entered by teams Rob Walker,{{cite web|url=https://sk.pinterest.com/pin/1959-gp-monaco-stirling-moss-cooper-t51-climax--440649144769226493/|title=Cooper T51 entered by the Rob Walker team (1959 Monaco Grand Prix)}} Brabham{{cite web|url=https://www.classiccarphotos.co.uk/latest-news/jack-brabhams-first-f1-grand-prix-car-1962-brabham-bt3-climax|title=Brabham BT3 entered by the Brabham team in 1962|date=25 July 2020 }} and McLaren{{cite web|url=https://sk.pinterest.com/pin/1966-gp-monaco-bruce-mclaren-mclaren-m2b-ford--440649144767379269/|title=McLaren M2B entered by the McLaren team (1966 Monaco Grand Prix)}}) were British racing green.

Relating to the team's nationality because of teams' bases in Britain several mistakes occurred on official entry lists issued by or podium ceremonies organized by the FIA or race organisers, e.g. Wolf{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Watkins_Glen-1978-10-01e.jpg|title=1978 United States Grand Prix Entry list}}{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Watkins_Glen-1979-10-07e.jpg|title=1979 United States Grand Prix Entry list}} holding the Canadian nationality and Shadow (in {{F1|1973}}){{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Zeltweg-1973-08-19e.jpg|title=1973 Austrian Grand Prix Entry list}} and Penske{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Zolder-1975-05-25e.jpg|title=1975 Belgian Grand Prix Entry list}}{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/covers/_Watkins_Glen-1975-10-05e.jpg|title=1975 United States Grand Prix Entry list}} both holding the American nationality all identified as the British teams by official entry lists, or the British national anthem played on the podium in honour of the Irish-licensed Jordan team and the Austrian-licensed Red Bull team when they achieved their maiden victories at the 1998 Belgian Grand Prix and 2009 Chinese Grand Prix respectively.{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/12831524/was-wrong-anthem-really-played-jordan-won-their-first-grand-prix|title=1998 Belgian Grand Prix podium ceremony|date=6 May 2015 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.motor1.com/news/15117/china-plays-wrong-anthem-to-mark-rbr-win/|title=2009 Chinese Grand Prix podium ceremony}}

{{main|Privateer (motorsport)}}

From the inaugural 1950 British Grand Prix until the 1981 Spanish Grand Prix numerous privateer teams entered cars, built by another companies as their constructors, in World Championship events. Some of them, such as Tyrrell and Williams, later began to build their own chassis and thus became constructors as well as works teams. At the 1981 Spanish Grand Prix the Equipe Banco Occidental team became the last privateer team to have entered a car for a race alongside a works team when they entered a Williams car alongside the Williams works team.{{cite web|url=https://www.racingsportscars.com/f1/entry/Jarama-1981-06-21.html|title=1981 Spanish Grand Prix Entry list}} During the period of the {{F1|1950}}–{{F1|1981}} seasons, privateer teams won 20 World Championship races in total. Only once (the Matra International team in {{F1|1969}}) a privateer team helped a constructor (Matra) to win the World Constructors' Championship and a driver (Jackie Stewart) to win the World Drivers' Championship. The following are privateer teams which never built their own chassis, and thus were not constructors:{{div col |colwidth=25em}}
