Matra-Ford

Matra-Ford, a unique Franco-British collaboration, left an indelible mark on Formula 1, particularly with its striking blue livery and the innovative Matra V12 engine, though its championship success came with Ford power. The team's peak arrived in 1969, dominating the season with Jackie Stewart and the Cosworth DFV engine, clinching both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. This victory was significant as it marked the first time a British-built car had not won the Constructors' title, instead going to the French chassis. Matra competed in 40 races, securing 9 wins and 15 podiums, ultimately earning 1 Constructors' Championship.
