In the weird world of F1...
- 1999, Tyrrell was bought out by British American Tobacco (to advertise their "Lucky Strike" brand) to form the "British American Racing" team, or BARF1 (Yes, that became fodder for many jokes.)
- 2006, BAR was bought out by their engine supplier, Honda, to become Honda's factory F1 team (first Honda factory F1 team since their first effort in the '60s.)
- 2009, Honda Racing F1 decided to quit the sport completely, not just the team, but the engine program too. Team principle Ross Brawn bought the remnants of the team, named it Brawn GP, stuffed a Mercedes engine in the car, and won the fucking championship.
- 2010, Mercedes, impressed with the grassroots success of Brawn GP, bought the team from Ross (I imagine he made quite a profit versus what he invested a year prior), and rebranded it as their first factory F1 team since 1955... then they hired Niki Lauda to essentially mastermind the team, and they're now the all-conquering Mercedes AMG F1 team we all know today... direct descendants of the six-wheel Tyrrell.
I should mention, Mercedes kept Ross Brawn on for a while, but he and Niki Lauda don't exactly get along, so he retired completely from Formula One in 2013. Should also mention Ross Brawn made a name for himself as Michael Schumacher's team leader during his successful years at Benetton and Ferrari.
...and speaking of Benetton... [Inigo Montoya] no, there is too much, lemme sum up. Originally "Toleman" (Ayrton Senna's first team) became Benetton Formula, won 2 championships with Schumacher... then became Renault F1, won 2 championships with Alonso... then became Lotus F1, now perennial mid-pack runners, notorious for their drivers' careless driving styles. |

It looks really cool but I can't help but to picture a snow plow truck going through a snow bed lake in Alaska playing a generic 70's country song.
Then, in an attempt to show dad he's too old fashioned, the son comes blasting past him playing hard rock music in the snow-tired Tyrrell P34. Snow flying EVERYWHERE. Dad just shakes his head with his rear view mirror air freshener bobbing.
Unfortunately, the son isn't a well thought out individual as the snow barrels into his open cockpit and he violently spins and rolls out of control. Dad just keeps plowin and the son takes off his helmet and shakes his fist. |
