Nationality
Benetton Team had a British licence from 1986 to 1995 and an Italian licence from 1996 to 2001, thus becoming the first, and up until 2011 the only, constructor to officially change its nationality. The Benetton family wanted this change of nationality in order to have an F1 team of their own country. The team was based in the UK throughout.
