Ron Dennis says '109 F1 teams since 1966'
#1

"Since McLaren first stepped into the pit lane in 1966, 109 Formula 1 teams have come and gone, and the only two teams that have been going are Ferrari and ourselves.
"I don't want to be number 110."
I am not suggesting anybody tries to name all 109 but I was surprised at such a large number.
Ron Dennis is supposed to be very fastidious about things so I would assume he got the data from a good source, did anybody on this forum get a call from McLaren recently on this subject?

A quick scan through my source shows about 90, but some of these can hardly be called proper teams and are just names.

Lola could be counted twice - Team Haas and the abortive Lola/Mastercard team. You could also make a case for the current Williams team being a different entity to the original one - not to mention counting de Tomaso and Iso separately!

If its about a hundred does it matter?
Correct; I find a lot of these sorts of threads become tedious as people struggle to define what is the real definition that we should be using.
It doesn't concern me that Bernard White Racing no longer exists as a team as it does exist in the record books which is what matters. I would be very concerned if no one knew which teams were around in 1968 but they do so the whole thing becomes pointless.

It does make you wonder why Ron bothered to count them up, but then when you think of what's happened in his life in recent times, he has now got the time on his hands that allows him to indulge in such trivia.
I've always thought Ron was a bit OCD; this is the man who has his gravel drive picked up every six months, washed & replaced!

That's a little unkind, you call it OCD, I'd call it attention to detail. It's been a formula for success for Ron over the years, as it has for the similarly inclined Bernie E.

There's a very thin line Rob, very thin. It's not an insult as lots of very successful people are like that. Dear old David Beckam openly declares himself to be so.

There's attention to detail (Bernie Ecclestone making sure his decals are *just* right on his cars and even making sure cabling in the office is tidy makes a lot of sense) and OCD(Dennis having his gravel drive constantly washed, Beckham aligning his soft drink cans in a certain way).
The decals, and therefore the appearance of his cars, yep, I'd go with that, the wires, no! I can tell you there is nothing more annoying than having patched up a 16 video rack to do tape dubbing, and to come in and find it all taken apart, the wires coiled up and put in a draw because "they looked untidy", is waaaaay more than annoying. Making the 25 artic park in order, which took hours after the drivers had already been in the cab for days, just so they were in number plate order could be described as more than erksome, and ask the librarian at Biggin Hill when he founds hundreds of tapes moved out of place (and therefore untraceable) in order of size and colour rather than race/session date order, he too may not agree!!!

I wouldn't be so quick to label anyone OCD. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a clinical malady that requires a diagnosis by a qualified medical practitioner, most likely specialising in psychiatry. From what I've read, those that truly do suffer from OCD have a disease that makes their lives a living hell.There's attention to detail (Bernie Ecclestone making sure his decals are *just* right on his cars and even making sure cabling in the office is tidy makes a lot of sense) and OCD(Dennis having his gravel drive constantly washed, Beckham aligning his soft drink cans in a certain way).
Sorry, just me being excessively pedantic.

Yes, but the question we're all asking, is does Bernie have his gravel washed? Maybe he sends it away to be dry-cleaned.

For those of us not quite on the ball when it comes to abbreviations and other 'forum speak' may I suggest that forum submissions are in good old longhand, so to speak. After all it is not as if there is a tight space limitation here.
I would add that the original posting on this thread containing that description applying it to Ron Dennis could possibly be interpreted in some quarters on verging on the libellious in its implication.

'OCD' is a term in common usage, seen often in the national press & elsewhere. I'm not the first person to suggest Mr.Dennis might suffer from it and if David Beckham hasn't sued anybody as yet, I'm probably on safe ground!

Regarding OCD or terms you are not familiar with, you'll find Google quite handy retriever. It magically brings up 4,840,000 results relating to OCD in less than a third of a second, though admittedly not all will be related to the OCD we are talking about. Looking just at the first few results will have you half way to becoming an expert on the subject, or at the very least quite well informed.

Me, I prefer the grunge of an early 70s paddock- fag ends and snap on tools.
I think quite a few around here would agree with you. A time when almost anybody could see what was going on.

Now, as to the precise number Ron Dennis came up with, if he had counted differently and come up with 99 or 100, if I had been in his position I would have felt that the number looked a guess and re-counted differently. It's the same as when I was at school and Mt Everest was 29,002 ft high. Apparently the surveyors measured it in different ways and took an average and it came out at exactly 29,000 ft. They felt that if they published that then people would think it was an approximation, so they took another look at their figures and came up with a new value of 29,002 feet.
However you look at it, that's an incredibly large number of teams that have failed to last the course. It's even surprisingly large if you count mainstream teams like BRM, Cooper, Lotus, Minardi etc

Nowadays the mehanics have a nice clean air conditioned or heated garage to work in
And a dedicated cup holder to prop up their pint of beer whilst they're adjusting wheel geometry :-)
This might make me look a tad OCD, but it'd be interesting to see a graph plotting the volume of teams that disappeared into the ether after each season since '66. I wonder if such a graph would illustrate a large spike over the next couple of seasons?

Welcome to the OCD club, I'm sure there are a great many TNF members. In answer to your question though, since the starting point is so low in 2010, a set number of teams who are contractually bound to turn up to every race with two cars, I can't see that a spike of any kind is possible, though certainly we are bound to lose a few, maybe before this season is over. In 'the old days' of course, it was possible to turn up with a single car, sometimes for just one or two races, and it's 'teams' like this that make up most of Ron's list. As you say, it would be interesting to see a season by season analysis, but I think we all know roughly when the numbers of departed would have been greatest. Now, if you'll all excuse me, I'm off to 'face-up' (a retailing term) the labels on the jam jars in my fridge.

What's really interesting is the fact that so many people seem to think Ronzo was sitting in his office, biro in hand (Mont Blanc I'm sure)and trying to remember all the teams .I suspect he has a man who asks a man who asks his assistant to research the number.
I remember once being charged by the Swiss General Manager of a prestigeous hotel complex in the Middle East with writing a welcome speech to the Egyptian Ambassador on the occasion of the official opening of a grand festival. Having left it a tad late, I chose rather than refer to traditional and reliable sources of reference, to make it all up!
I marked the card of a couple of associates and they together with me watched the increasingly perplexed faces of His Excellency and his delegation as the GM spouted forth with an array of disarming demographical, geographical and social facts and statistics about Egypt that were infact utter rubbish!
I got away with it because the poorly informed Swiss GM thought it sounded impressive, and the Egyptian Ambassador was too polite to question it with him! The point I'm trying to make is that it's quite possible that Ron came up with an arbitrary figure knowing that it wasn't really worth researching, and like me knowing that no-one was likely to question it...............

Agree, that's a question of definition. Obviously Ron counted both factory and private teams. But it seems that those privateers who were self-entered only (e.g. Tom Jones at Mosport in 1967) are excluded from the list. Entries like "World Wide Racing" and "Team Lotus" could have been conjuncted together. One more key is that Ron counted only those teams, which had their debut WDC appearance not earlier than in 1966. Below is a possible Ron's list:"Since McLaren first stepped into the pit lane in 1966, 109 Formula 1 teams have come and gone, and the only two teams that have been going are Ferrari and ourselves."

Although, as an example of entries in terms of the group paying for the team, I suppose it's correct. In that Jordan couldn't go any further so he had to sell to Midland, who couldn't go any further and became Spyker, who became Force India, etc; even though it was the same team.

So maybe Rocky2 should have written the team as "Silvio Moser Racing Team" rather than "Bellasi".
Does it matter? We have already established that the definition of "team" is subjective and highly flexible. I am sure it would be possible to justify any number between 90 and 120 by judicious choice of definition.

But always from the Silvio Moser Racing Team who in 1971 have not taken an entrant license.It’s been a last minute decision to start.According to Lang, Silvio Moser in 1968 raced cars entered by Charles Vogele, suggesting a private entrant rather than a team while in 1969 and 1970 he was entered by Silvio Moser Racing Team. Brabham in 1968-69 and Bellasi in 1970, then in 1971 he had a single appearance in the Bellasi, but entered by Jolly Club Switzerland.
