Mercedes, Red Bull, Ferrari: F1 teams and their international football equivalents

Earlier this year, we made a list of Formula One teams having their own Premier League equivalent, but this time we’re using the concept to look at international football teams.

Once again, we’ve taken a look at a list made by SRLSport on Instagram where they have stated which Formula One team best matches a certain international side.

Red Bull – Spain

Dominating the early 2010s, Red Bull and Spain are well oiled machines that have won everything they possibly can in their respective fields and are top competitors on the track and pitch.

A combination of experience and youth such as Andres Iniesta and Max Verstappen has led them to glory in recent times, and they know exactly what they want from their players and drivers to get the best results.

Ferrari – Brazil

Both the most historically successful teams in their sport, respected by all their opponents, but don’t quite strike the same fear into the hearts of their peers as they used to.

While they have dominated in years gone by, their recent successes have been few and far between, but each can still hold their own with a good blend of youngsters and the old guard.

Carlos Sainz could be Neymar, while Charles Leclerc could be Vinicius Jr. Either way – all of them have got flair in some type of way.

Alpine – England

The kings of controversy and seemingly despised by absolutely everyone, they can challenge for the top and had some success here and there when things have gone in the right direction.

However, any victory they get seems to feel like it happened many moons ago, but there could be potential for them to climb to the top at some point if everything clicks into place for Harry Kane and Esteban Ocon.

McLaren – Germany
