Not really a nostalgic subject, but since this is the meeting place for all the bright minds, I post the topic here.
I've been trying to figure out who owns what in Formula 1 nowadays and that's not as easy as it seems, with all the sponsors, investors, etcetera hanging around. So far I've come up with the list below, but it still contains lots of question marks. Who can suggest some improvements?

---------------------------------------------------------------
This is the list I compiled:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Scuderia Ferrari SpA.
100%: Ferrari SpA

McLaren International Ltd.
40%: Ron Dennis
40%: DaimlerChrysler AG
20%: Mansour Ojjeh (TAG)

WilliamsF1
?%: Frank Williams
?%: Patrick Head
??others??

Benetton Formula Ltd.
100%: Renault Sport
(Renault Sport has two branches: Renault Sport France and Renault Sport UK. It looks to me RS UK is the 'old' Benetton Formula, while RS France is the original sporting department of Renault, where this years engine was developed)

British American Racing
??%: British American Tabacco (majority shareholder)
??%: Craig Pollock
??%: Adrian Reynard
??others like Rick Gorne, Julian Jakobi???

Jordan Grand Prix
60%: Eddie Jordan
40%: Walburg Pincus & Co.

Arrows F1 Team
60%: Tom Walkinshaw
40%: Morgan Grenfell (investment bankers)

Red Bull Sauber AG
??%: Peter Sauber
??%: Dieter Mateschitz (Red Bull, majority shareholder??)

Jaguar Racing
100%: Ford Motor Company

European Minardi F1
70%: Paul Stoddart (European Aviation)
14.5%: Giancarlo Minardi
14.5%: Emilio Gnutti, Guiseppe Lucchini, Vittorio Palazzani (Scuderia
Italia)
1%: Defendante Marniga
(This is assuming Stoddart only bought the shares formerly held by Gabriele Rumi. Some sources reported Stoddart also acquired the shares of the others.)

Prost Grand Prix
45%: Alain Prost
35%: Diniz family
10%: LV (=Luis Vuitton) Capital
??others??
-------------------------------------------------

Ferrari SpA is 100% owned by FIAT SpA

http://www.autosport.com/article2.cfm?id=1...dlines&series=5 suggests that Red Bull are currently the majority shareholder, but I guess that when they split at the end of the year they won't be.

Williams, according to the following is 70% Frank and 30% Head [figures from The Sunday Times Rich List so its prolly right]

After Walburg Pincus there was a Irish consortium who overtake 49,9% of the Jordan team in 2003. Can you tell me more about that consortium? Who were they? I know they were shareholders in two football clubs before...

Piero Ferrari?

I thought he had 10%.

Me too. However nowadays 5% is in hands of UAE right?
