History

Created:

1954

Mercedes, officially Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Team, is a German racing team.

Mercedes has a rich history in Formula One, competing as both a team owner and engine manufacturer since 1954. The current team, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, based in Brackley, England, has achieved remarkable success in recent years. They have won eight consecutive Constructors' Championships from 2014 to 2021 and seven consecutive Drivers' Championships from 2014 to 2020, establishing themselves as one of the most dominant forces in Formula One history.

History

Mercedes-Benz's involvement in the sport dates back to before the Second World War when they won three European Championship titles. They made their Formula One debut in 1954, securing immediate triumph with Juan Manuel Fangio winning the Drivers' Championship. However, following the tragic events of the 1955 Le Mans disaster, Mercedes-Benz withdrew from racing.

The Mercedes Formula One team was revived in 1994 as an engine supplier in collaboration with Ilmor, which later became Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains. In 2010, Mercedes acquired the Brawn GP team, rebranding it as Mercedes, and since then, their success has been unprecedented. They have set records for most wins in a season, most consecutive Constructors' Championships, and have accumulated over 200 wins as an engine supplier.
