Historical past
The Mercedes identify is among the most recognisable on this planet, with it first showing in System 1 all the way in which again in 1954. Nonetheless, the corporate would withdraw utterly from motorsport on the finish of 1955.
It was within the late Sixties that the staff we at present know as Mercedes began life in F1, then underneath the Tyrrell identify. The squad was finally offered to British American Racing (BAR), with the primary season of their new guise coming in 1999.

BAR would go on to companion with Honda, and have become the Japanese producer’s works outfit from 2006. However when Honda introduced their withdrawal from F1 on the finish of 2008, it sparked one of many sport’s biggest ever fairytales.
Ross Brawn and the staff’s administration stepped in to purchase the outfit and, in 2009, the newly named Brawn GP famously went on to secure both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships with Briton Jenson Button changing into World Champion.
After that one season as Brawn GP, Mercedes bought the staff to offer the squad their present identification. With delicate success from 2010 to 2013, the staff then turned the main pressure in F1 from 2014 as they claimed eight Constructors’ titles, in addition to each Drivers’ Championship between 2014 and 2020 (six for Hamilton and one for Nico Rosberg).
