Since the 1981 season the FIA have required that Formula One entrants own the intellectual rights to the chassis that they enter, and so the terms "entrant" and "constructor", and hence also "team", have become synonymous.
Desde principios da década de 1980 a FIA require que as escudarías participantes na Fórmula Un sexan propietarias dos dereitos intelectuais dos chasis cos que participan, polo que os términos "escudaría" e "construtor", e xa que logo tamén "equipo", convertéronse en sinónimos.
