(Motorsport-Total.com) – A victory in Formula 1 is the ultimate confirmation of years of hard work. But the path to the first triumph is a very individual odyssey for each team. While some, as factory teams, struck directly from the start, others first had to go through numerous metamorphoses, change names and owners, before the first trophy stood in the display cabinet.

The first victories of the current Formula 1 racing teams
By the way: The first team – or rather, the first manufacturer – to win in Formula 1 was Alfa Romeo. The later world champion Giuseppe Farina won the very first Formula 1 race in history in 1950 at Silverstone.
However, Alfa Romeo has not been represented in the premier class for a long time, apart from the name sponsorship of the Sauber team in the recent past. Thus, the honor of the earliest victory naturally belongs, how could it be otherwise, to Ferrari. But do you still know who won back then?
Answers to who achieved the first victories for the respective teams and when the first success came can be found in the photo series.
