Which was the last F1 team to win its debut race?

I wonder whether is anyone out there who is able to answer this question?

Posibly WOLF if we are talking F1 GP rather than any old F1 race?

Team? That depends on the definition.

Wolf had been around as a team prior to 1977 but not with their own car.

Marlboro Team Texaco - Buenos Aires 1973, Denny Hulme in a McLaren M23 (but this was an existing team rebranded)
Gold Leaf Team Lotus - Jarama 1968, GSH in a 49 (so was this)
FISA - Reims 1961, Giancarlo Baghetti in a Ferrari 156 (works owned and prepared but entered and run by FISA)

Which leaves:
Daimler-Benz - Reims 1954, JMF in a W196

The Alfa Romeo 158 won the first World Championship race at Silverstone.

This was NOT:

1 The first F1 race

or

2 Alfa Romeo's first F1 race

As D-Type pointed out, it depends on your definition, but the two contenders would be Wolf (who won their first race as a manufacturer in their own right, having previously attached their name to the old Williams cars) and Mercedes Benz.

It always helps to ask the right question ....

Good point Dan. I believe Melchester Racing is the correct answer to the question as it is posed.

We had British F1 then - were there any other F1 races in the world where local teams took part.

In fact anybody putting an F1 car into a libre race surely qualifies as a possible answer here!

South Africa. Plus the Bologna motor show things that were almost exclusively Italian.

On the subject of Melchester racing team Manager Brian Morris is still living in Bromley and trying to set up a GT team using Aston Martins with his sons down to drive. The team will be called Melchester Racing!

Was it Brazil or Argentina that had their own national Formula 1 regulations in the days before BCE copyrighted the term?
