Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull & Liverpool, Man Utd, Arsenal: F1 teams and their PL equivalents

Formula One and the Premier League are both the pinnacles of their respective sports, for many budding racing drivers and footballers, these are the heights you dream of reaching.

With any sport having a field of competitors with ranging fortunes on the track and pitch, teams from both sports are comparable to find their equivalent.

Thankfully for us, SRLSport on Instagram has compiled a list where they have decided on which Formula One team matches up to which Premier League side.

Mercedes – Manchester City

“Not a lot of history in the sport, but now dominating it.”

Winning eight consecutive titles from 2014 to 2021, no one has been able to touch Mercedes at the top of the table. Both teams had a little bit of success in the early 20th century too.

Ferrari – Liverpool

“An old great of the sport that had fallen away, but now making a comeback.”

Both teams used to dominate the sports, but haven’t been at their best for a while. However, both are back at the top and now winning honours and races – both have red as their team colours too, added bonus!

Red Bull – Chelsea

“Cash injection in early 2000s. Ruthless with drivers.”

Red Bull and Chelsea both came from nowhere to the front of the field and still play towards the top end now thanks to heavy investment. Both are known to be ruthless in their changing of drivers and managers.

Williams – Manchester United

“One of the most historic teams in the sport who have struggled recently.”

Williams are now languishing at the back of the grid and struggling to compete with anyone, the same can be said for Man United. Both were once dominant forces but neither are close to their dizzying heights.
