Williams had their glory days during the 1980s and '90s, and so did McLaren, the latter enjoying even more spoils during this period.

Bruce McLaren - himself a fine driver until his tragic passing - set the team up in 1966, not dissimilarly to how Jack Brabham created a team in his own name. McLaren are the team with the second-longest continuous run in Formula 1, and fittingly take up the second spot on this list.

They've won 20 championships altogether, 12 driver's titles and 8 constructor's crowns, and like Lotus, have had some of the greatest drivers ever steer their cars.

James Hunt, Alain Prost, Niki Lauda, Emerson Fittipaldi, Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton have all won at least one of their driver's titles for McLaren and many more greats have driven for them.

Like Williams, though, their glory days seem a long time ago now, not winning a constructor's championship since 1998, a driver's title since 2008, and a Grand Prix since 2012.

For a short while, McLaren topped the tables in most regards, but the next team took their place back at the summit in the 2000s.
