There's a lot of who bought whom, which changed to...
I was wondering what the lineage is.
So
Ferrari have always been Ferrari
McLaren I think have always been McLaren
Mercedes were Braun who were Honda...
Next year Renault will probably be there, having previously been Renault, who were Benneton...
Who's started a team from scratch, who bought in, and when did that happen?

McLaren more or less went bust in 1980 but were taken over by a company run by Ron Denis called Project 4 racing. That is why since that time McLarens always carry an MP4/.. type designation.
I did not know that.
