Although Ferrari had dominated the majority of the 1950s, the team was to lose the first ever World Constructors Championship to a British team. Who were they?

Vanwall defeated Ferrari to win the inaugural Formula 1 World Constructors' Championship in 1958. The British team, founded by Tony Vandervell, overcame Ferrari's long-standing dominance through innovative engineering and drivers like Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks. This victory marked a significant shift in Formula 1, ending Italian team dominance and beginning the British era that would continue for decades. Ferrari's loss was particularly bitter as they had dominated much of the 1950s.
