In the 1990s, Mercedes-Benz formed a partnership with the British team, McLaren, which led to a highly successful period for both companies. Drivers such as Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton won multiple World Championships driving for McLaren-Mercedes.

In 2010, Mercedes-Benz purchased the Brawn GP team, which had won the Constructors’ Championship the previous year. The team was rebranded as Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, and a new era of dominance began. Since 2014, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team has won every Constructors’ Championship, and drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have won multiple Drivers’ Championships.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team is known for its innovative designs and its ability to adapt quickly to changes in the sport’s regulations. The team’s success has been attributed to its strong leadership, its commitment to excellence, and its ability to attract and retain top talent. Today, Mercedes-Benz remains one of the most respected and successful manufacturers in Formula One, and the company’s commitment to the sport shows no signs of waning.

2022 was a horrible year for Mercedes Benz an 2023 does not seem to have started very much better. All eyes are on Lewis Hamilton and George Russel to see if they can conquer the car and begin to win.
