On its official web site, McLaren mentions that it has beaten the Scuderia Ferrari for the highest number of victories in Formula 1.
The British team began to race in F1 at Monaco in 1966. When Lewis Hamilton won the US Grand Prix last Sunday, he gave McLaren its 181st victory, becoming the most successful team in 46 years in the category.
The web site says: "As of last weekend's victory at the USA Grand Prix in Austin, McLaren have now won more Grands Prix than any other Constructor since the team first appeared in Formula 1 at Monaco, 1966.
"McLaren now leads Ferrari 181-180 in the post-Monaco 1966 period in which both teams have been competing."
Ferrari has raced continuously in F1 since 1950. The Italian team has contested 850 Grands Prix and has collected a total of 219 wins.
