Oddest ever F1 team names from Antique Automobiles to Life
In the off-season, two F1 teams underwent rebrands for the 2024 season – AlphaTauri changed to Visa Cash App RB and Sauber became sponsored by Stake and Kick. This caused controversy as some see it as a mere branding exercise for additional funds. However, not all F1 teams have had illustrious names like Ferrari or McLaren. Two notable examples are Antique Automobiles and Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie-Durlacher. Antique Automobiles was a privateer team that entered 14 races in the late 1960s and early 1970s, achieving some success with drivers Vic Elford and Ronnie Peterson. Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie-Durlacher, on the other hand, entered the 1973 season without scoring any points, with their best result being seventh place.
