Longest reign as team boss
Most seasons spent in charge of an F1 team, across every stint.
Based on f1gures' curated team-boss tenures (team principals, founders and de-facto bosses). Short caretaker stints and a few murky leadership eras are excluded, and championships are credited to the boss in charge at the season's final round.
