Cooper

Cooper was a British Formula 1 constructor active from 1950 to 1958, participating in 98 World Championship races without securing a constructor's title. The team achieved two race wins and six podium finishes, accumulating a total of 52 championship points. Notable drivers included Jack Brabham, Stirling Moss, and Roy Salvadori, who contributed to the team's competitive presence during the mid-1950s.

Despite competing in nearly a hundred Grands Prix, Cooper’s win rate stood at 2.0%, with a podium rate of 6.1%, reflecting sporadic success rather than consistent front-running performance. The team averaged 0.5 points per race and scored points in approximately 13.3% of their entries. Cooper did not secure any pole positions and maintained an average qualifying position of P1.0, though this figure appears inconsistent with their overall results and may require further verification.

Cooper’s career spanned 76 years since their first entry in 1950, though their active competition period was limited to the 1950s. The team’s performance metrics indicate they were a mid-field contender with occasional breakthroughs, rather than a dominant force in the sport. Their historical significance lies more in their contributions to the era’s driver lineup and technical developments than in championship success.
