'''Vanwall''' was a British [[motor racing]] team and racing car constructor that was active in [[Formula One]] during the 1950s. Founded by [[Tony Vandervell]], the Vanwall name was derived by combining the name of the team owner with that of his [[Babbitt (alloy)#Modern Babbitt bearings|Thinwall bearings]] produced at the Vandervell Products factory at [[Acton, London|Acton]], London. Originally entering modified [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]s in non-championship races, Vanwall constructed their first cars to race in the [[1954 Formula One season]]. The team achieved their first race win in the [[1957 British Grand Prix]], with [[Stirling Moss]] and [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]] sharing a VW 5, earning the team the distinction of constructing the first British-built car to win a World Championship race. Vanwall won the inaugural [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|Constructors' Championship]] in [[Formula One]] in {{f1|1958}}, in the process allowing Moss and Brooks to finish second and third in the Drivers' Championship standings, each winning three races for Vanwall. Vandervell's failing health meant 1958 would be the last full season; the squad ran cars in a handful of races in the following years, but finished racing in 1961.

==History==
Tony Vandervell's Vanwall Company made [[Babbitt (alloy)|Babbit]] [[Bearing (mechanical)|bearing]]s  (UK White Metal bearings) under licence from the [[Cleveland Graphite Bronze Company]]; [[W. A. Robotham]] of Rolls-Royce said that "it was an exceedingly difficult task ... knowing the American company well".<ref>{{cite book |last= [[William Arthur Robotham|Robotham]]  |first= William Arthur |title= Silver Ghosts and Silver Dawn |year= 1970 |publisher= Constable |location= London |pages= 113,114 }} </ref> 

Tony Vandervell was one of the original backers of [[British Racing Motors]]. In the early 1950s he entered a series of modified [[Ferrari]]s in [[Formule Libre]] races under the name "Thinwall Special".<ref>{{cite book |last1=Carter |first1=Anthony |title=Motor racing : the pursuit of victory, 1930-1962 |date=2011 |publisher=Veloce Publications |location=Dorchester, England |isbn=9781845842796 |page=72}}</ref>

The first actual Vanwalls were known as Vanwall Specials and were built for the new Formula 1 regulations in 1954 at [[Cox Green, Berkshire|Cox Green]], [[Maidenhead]]. The [[chassis]] was designed by [[Owen Maddock]] and built by the [[Cooper Car Company]].
The 2.0&nbsp;L engine was designed by [[Norton (motorcycle)|Norton]] engineer [[Leo Kuzmicki]], and was essentially four [[Norton Manx|Manx]]<ref name="Setright1">Setright, L. J. K. "Vanwall: The End of an Era", in Northey, Tom, ed. ''World of Automobiles'' (London: Orbis, 1974), Vol. 21, p.2461.</ref> single-cylinder {{convert|498|cc|cid|abbr=on}} ({{convert|86.1|x|85.6|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}) engines with a common [[water cooling|waterjacket]], [[cylinder head]] (a copy of the Norton's) and [[valvetrain]],<ref name="Setright1"/> with induction by four [[Amal (motorcycle)|AMAL]] [[motorcycle]] [[carburetor]]s.<ref name="Setright1"/> This combination was fitted to a [[Rolls-Royce Limited|Rolls-Royce]] [[Rolls-Royce B range engines|B40 military engine]] crankcase, copied in [[aluminium]].<ref name="Setright, p.2462">Setright, p.2462.</ref> Designed for [[Formula Two]], which was supplanted before it appeared,<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> the car debuted in a [[Grande Epreuve]] in the 1954 [[British Grand Prix]]. Against 2½ litre [[Formula One]] competition, it was at a decided disadvantage. The [[Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company|Goodyear]] [[disc brake]]s (built by Vanwall) proved successful,<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> but the front suspension and fuel and cooling systems were troublesome.<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> Development continued with a switch to [[Robert Bosch GmbH|Bosch]] [[fuel injection]] (thanks to Vandervell's "persuading" [[Daimler-Benz]], a major Bosch customer, to allow it),<ref>With a threat to withhold Thinwall bearings. Setright, p.2462.</ref> while retaining the AMAL [[Throttle#Throttle body|throttle bodies]]; they were plagued with throttle linkage trouble, due to vibration from the big four-cylinder.<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> Vanwall also increased the [[Engine displacement|capacity]] of the engines, first to {{convert|2237|cc|cid|0|abbr=on}} ({{convert|91.0|x|86.0|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}) for Peter Collins at Monaco 1955, and then a full {{convert|2489|cc|cid|abbr=on}} ({{convert|96.0|x|86.0|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}). Vanwalls then ran for a season in F1 without much in the way of success.  At the end of the 1955 season, it was plain that the engine was sound, but that  the [[Ferrari]]-derived<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> chassis needed improvement. It was suggested to Vandervell that he should hire the services of a young up-and-coming designer to improve their cars. The designer was [[Colin Chapman]].

The new 1956<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> cars designed by Chapman (along with the aerodynamicist [[Frank Costin]]) were of [[space frame]] construction, the [[De Dion axle|De Dion]] rear axle's [[unsprung weight]] reduced and front [[torsion bar]] added.<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> (None of these ideas were revolutionary, but Chapman was happy simply to be meticulous.)<ref>Setright, L.J.K. "Lotus: The Golden Mean", in Northey, Volume 11, p.1230.</ref> Furthermore, a fifth gear and [[Porsche]] [[synchromesh]] were added to the [[transmission (mechanics)|transmission]].<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> The driving seat was placed above this and could not be reduced below {{convert|13|in|mm|abbr=on}} above the road, making the height very problematic  (the top of the driver's helmet was fully {{convert|50|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} from the road surface, while the vertically mounted engine made a reduction impractical in any case),<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> and the handling was suspect despite Chapman's best efforts.<ref name="Setright, p.2462"/> The solution which today is obvious, mounting the engine behind the driver, would take two more years to be accepted. Costin made the most of it, and produced a car "much faster in a straight line than any of its rivals".<ref name="Setright, p.2463">Setright, p.2463.</ref>

The new car showed early promise in 1956 by winning the [[BRDC International Trophy|non-championship F1 race]] at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] against strong opposition. It set the lap record at [[1957 Syracuse Grand Prix|Syracuse]]<ref name="Setright, p.2463"/> [[Stirling Moss]] drove the car to victory in what was his only drive for Vanwall that year, as he was still contracted to drive for [[Maserati]] in F1.  Talented drivers [[Harry Schell]] and [[Maurice Trintignant]] were the full-timers for the season.  However, neither of them had much success although the car showed obvious potential.

With the car developing and becoming ever more competitive, Moss eventually decided to drive for the team in 1957.  He was joined by two Englishmen, [[Tony Brooks (racing driver)|Tony Brooks]] and [[Stuart Lewis-Evans]].  As the 1957 season unfolded, the cars became faster and more reliable. Moss and Brooks duly shared Vanwall's first Grand Prix victory in Britain at [[Aintree Motor Racing Circuit|Aintree]], and Moss went on to win both the [[Italian Grand Prix|Italian]] (where only being piloted by [[Juan Manuel Fangio|Fangio]] enabled the [[Maserati]] to run with the Vanwalls, for Moss finished with 41 seconds in hand even after a [[pit stop]])<ref name="Setright, p.2463"/> and [[Pescara Grand Prix|Pescara]] Grands Prix.

At the end of 1957, alcohol fuels were banned and replaced by a compulsory 130-octane [[aviation gasoline]]. This caused problems for Vanwall and BRM with their large bore engines that required methanol for engine cooling. As a result, the Vanwall's power dropped from {{convert|290|bhp|abbr=on}} at 7,500 rpm<ref name="Setright, p.2463"/> (308&nbsp;bhp with nitromethane) to {{convert|278|bhp|abbr=on}} on the test bed. During the race, where revs were reduced, only 255–262&nbsp;bhp at 7,200–7,400 rpm was available. This put them at a disadvantage to the new Dino Ferrari V6 cars with a claimed 290 PS (286&nbsp;bhp) at 8,300 rpm. The Vanwall's superior road holding (thanks to suspension changes, new steel wheels, and new [[nylon]]-cord [[Dunlop Rubber|Dunlop]] R5 racing tyres),<ref name="Setright, p.2463"/> streamlining, 5-speed gearbox, and disc brakes helped to offset this.

All three drivers stayed with the team in 1958, and Moss (wins in the Netherlands, Portugal and Morocco) and Brooks (wins in Belgium, Germany and Italy) each won three championship races that season.  Vanwall became the first team to win the [[List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions|Constructors' Championship]], held for the first time that season. However, Moss lost out to [[Mike Hawthorn]] in the [[List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions|Drivers' Championship]] by a single point to finish second, with Brooks ending the season in third. Their triumph at the end of the season was sadly marred when, during the final race of the year in [[1958 Moroccan Grand Prix|Morocco]], Lewis-Evans was fatally injured in an accident.

The [[1958 Formula One season|1958 season]] was the last one in which Vanwall entered every race. Vandervell's health was failing and he had been advised by his doctors to rest. The team continued half-heartedly.  Brooks made one appearance in a lower and lighter Vanwall at [[1959 British Grand Prix]], proving less successful against the new [[Mid-engine design|mid-engine]]d [[Cooper Car Company|Coopers]], and the team tried again with another car in the 1960 [[French Grand Prix]]. These efforts lacked the seriousness of the past however and they were unsuccessful.

The last racing Vanwall was an "unwieldy"<ref name="Setright, p.2463"/> rear-engined machine produced for the 1961 3.0 litre [[Intercontinental Formula]]. Although showing promise when campaigned by [[John Surtees]] in two races, development was stopped short when the formula did not find success in Europe. The engine was enlarged to  {{convert|2605|cc|cid|0|abbr=on}} ({{convert|96.0|x|90.0|mm|in|2|abbr=on}}), rated at {{convert|290|bhp|abbr=on}} on 100 octane petrol.

The [[Donington Collection]] had a complete example of each model, including the rear-engined car.

In 2003 Vanwall Cars was formed by Arthur Wolstenholme, producing the Vanwall GPR V12, a single-seater road-legal car bearing a strong resemblance to early Vanwall racing cars, and the Sports Racer, a two-seater of a similar style.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Vanwall name lives again|date=11 March 2005 |publisher=Gigmag|url=http://www.gizmag.com/go/3836/|access-date=2010-10-14}}</ref> In 2012 the trademark was acquired from Mahle Engine Systems UK by Sanderson International Marketing Ltd.
In Summer 2016 Vanwall completed and sold an official replica 1957 Vanwall and then in October 2020 Vanwall 1958 Ltd, majority owned by Iain Sanderson, announced the commissioning of Hall & Hall to build 6 original 1958 specification 'continuation cars'.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goodwood.com/grr/race/historic/2020/10/buy-a-brand-new-vanwall-f1-car-for-1.6m/|title=Buy a brand new Vanwall F1 car for £1.6m|website=www.goodwood.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.carscoops.com/2020/10/vanwall-brand-brought-back-from-the-dead-will-launch-six-1958-f1-continuation-cars/|title=Vanwall Brand Brought Back From The Dead, Will Launch Six 1958 F1 Continuation Cars|date=19 October 2020|website=Carscoops}}</ref>
