Mercedes AMG F1

Mercedes re-entered the sport in 2010, having purchased the championship winning BrawnGP outfit.  The first few seasons were a difficult time for the manufacturer but they embraced the rule changes ushered in for 2014 and have won three consecutive titles in the time that has passed since.

This post is an archive of the work I've done regarding the team.
