Thieves have taken over 60 trophies after smashing two vehicles through the front entrance of Red Bull Racing's headquarters in Milton Keynes.
Around six men and made off with the haul of silverware from the premises in Bradbourne Drive early on Saturday morning.
"We are obviously devastated by this serious factory break-in," said team principal Christian Horner.
"The break-in caused significant damage and was very upsetting for our night officers who were on duty at the time.
"The offenders took items that not only did not belong to them, but which represented the efforts of a group of dedicated, hard-working individuals."
Mr Horner added he was "perplexed" by the theft as although the sentimental value of the stolen items was "extraordinarily high", their material worth was "low".
"They would be of little benefit to those outside of the team and, in addition to that, many of the trophies on display were replicas," he said.
"The actions of these men mean it's likely that we will have to make our site less accessible in the future, which will be unfair on the hundreds of fans that travel to visit our factory each year to see our trophies and our Formula One car."
Thames Valley Police said the two vehicles involved were a silver 4x4 which was used to drive through the entrance and a black or dark blue Mercedes estate car.
The raiders - all thought to be men - wore dark clothing.
The theft follows a season that saw Red Bull's four-year dominance of F1 ended by Mercedes, with Lewis Hamilton winning the drivers' championship and the German team taking the constructors' title.
The team also lost four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel to Ferrari for next season.
Anyone with information about the break-in is asked to call Milton Keynes Force CID on the Thames Valley Police non-emergency enquiry centre number 101.
If calling from overseas, the number to ring is 0044 1865 841148.
