Top 5 World Constructors' Champions of all time

With the F1 season just about to begin, the drivers will be under immense pressure to fight for the top spot in the World Drivers' Championship.

Each team consists of two main drivers that will be taking part in each race. The combined points of each driver will be added together and, at the end of the season, the team with the most number of points will win the Constructors' Championship.

The team takes care of the cars, the engines and, the strategies that go into every race. There have been many legendary teams and constructors that have been part of the Formula 1 so far, but there are only a few who have performed extraordinarily.

Here are the five best constructors in the history of Formula 1.

Will this be another Red Bull or Mercedes year?
