Mercedes F1 News and Updates

• German manufacturing giant, Mercedes-Benz, first
  got involved in racing back in the 1930s and
  1940s. They returned in Formula One after the
  Second World War, in 1954. Nonetheless, they
  pulled out as a manufacturer after 1955,
  remaining only as a supplier. This was a direct
  response to the 1955 Le Mans Disaster. They would
  be coaxed back as a constructor, only from 2010
  onwards. The latest Mercedes F1 drivers are
  Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.

On-track Achievements

• During their first two years in Formula One,
  there was no Constructors championship. The
  championship was introduced from 1958 onwards.
  Still, they did win four races out of a nine-race
  1954 calendar. These wins came at the French
  Grand Prix, the German Grand Prix, the Swiss
  Grand Prix and the Spanish Grand Prix.
• A year later, they would go on to win five out of
  seven races. The wins came at Argentina, Belgium,
  the Netherlands, Great Britain and Italy.
• After their return in 2010, they were off to an
  unstable start, having been away for so long. But
  since 2013, things have been pulling up and they
  began to dominate from 2014 onwards.
