American teams have been rare in Formula 1 history, but a few have stood out for their achievements and influence in the sport.
Despite the scarcity of U.S. outfits, the article ranks the top five most impactful American F1 teams based on success, longevity, and legacy.
At number five is Parnelli, which raced in the mid-1970s and managed some competitive finishes before folding early.
Next comes Haas F1 Team, the modern American entry founded by Gene Haas in 2016; it has scored points and remains the most successful recent U.S. team in the championship.
Ranked third is Penske, which briefly competed in the 1970s and even secured a Grand Prix victory during its short stint in F1.
Also featured in the list is Shadow, initially an American project that later raced under a British license, and the top-ranked Anglo American Racers (Eagle), which had notable success and is remembered for its distinctive cars and a Grand Prix win.
The list highlights how U.S. involvement in F1 has been intermittent but marked by memorable efforts and achievements over the decades.
