The Tyrrell 010 was a Formula One car engineered by Maurice Philippe for Tyrrell Racing during the 1980 season. Equipped with the Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 engine, it made its first appearance at the third round of the year in South Africa. The drivers who piloted the car included Jean-Pierre Jarier, Derek Daly, and Mike Thackwell, with Thackwell joining as a third driver for the last two events of 1980.
Continuing into , Tyrrell retained the 010 chassis, entering Eddie Cheever alongside Kevin Cogan at the U.S. West Grand Prix. After Cogan’s departure, Ricardo Zunino took over for a couple of races before Michele Alboreto stepped in from Round 4 at Imola. Alboreto’s Formula One career began with Tyrrell, eventually achieving five victories, two pole positions, and 23 podium finishes, including a second-place finish in the World Drivers' Championship while driving for Ferrari.
Midway through 1981, the Tyrrell 010 was succeeded by the Tyrrell 011. The 010’s final competition was at the Austrian Grand Prix, where Alboreto retired due to a gearbox malfunction. The car’s top finishes were two fourth places: Derek Daly at the 1980 British Grand Prix and Eddie Cheever at the 1981 British Grand Prix before the team transitioned to the 011.
Most of Tyrrell’s points in both 1980 (9 out of 12) and 1981 (8 out of 10) were earned using the 010 model. Importantly, this car represented Tyrrell's first full seasons without achieving podium finishes since their early years, as neither its predecessor, the 009, nor its successor, the 011, secured top-three results during these periods.
