MasterCard Lola were a British Formula One that competed at the start of the 1997 Formula One Season. While the team intended to begin racing in F1 in 1998, pressure from main sponsor MasterCard lead to a début in 1997. This lead to a seriously under-prepared car and the forced use of an old Ford engine rather than the Lola engine being designed.

At the Australian Grand Prix, Vincenzo Sospiri was eleven seconds off pole and five seconds off the 107% time, and Ricardo Rosset was a further two seconds behind him. While the team arrived at the Brazilian Grand Prix, they did not run and were never heard from again.
