Formula One
2008
The Mobil 1 Prodrive F1 Team made their Formula One debut in 2008, running the McLaren MP4-22 that was used by McLaren in 2007. The team's lineup was long-term Mercedes-Benz factory driver Rubens Barrichello and DTM runner-up Bruno Spengler. The team were one of the slower outfits - partly due to the fact they were using year-old machinery at this stage - and Barrichello was the only person to score points for the team in this maiden season. Barrichello's meagre haul of five points was at least enough for Prodrive to secure tenth in the constructor's standings - beating Force India and Super Aguri.
