Tyrrell
Jackie Stewart's three championships. The six-wheeled P34. Ken Tyrrell's maverick spirit.
Tyrrell Racing Organisation
Tyrrell Racing was founded by timber merchant Ken Tyrrell, who had managed Jackie Stewart's career. The team won 3 Drivers' Championships with Stewart (1969, 1971, 1973) and 1 Constructors' Championship. Tyrrell is most famous for the six-wheeled P34 of 1976–77, which remains the most unusual car to have competed in modern F1.

The P34 is the most unusual car in modern F1 history. Designer Derek Gardner fitted four small front wheels (10-inch) instead of the standard two, theorising that four smaller wheels would create less aerodynamic drag. Jody Scheckter won the 1976 Swedish Grand Prix in the P34. The concept was abandoned after 1977 when tyre development for the unique front wheels became impractical.
Defunct since 1998. Ken Tyrrell sold the team to British American Tobacco, which became BAR (British American Racing), later Honda Racing, then Brawn GP, then Mercedes.
