The legendary Mercedes-Benz brand has been a leader in the automotive industry since 1901. As a result of the merger between Benz & Cie and Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft, the first ever Mercedes-Benz vehicle was launched in 1926. One of the most notable early models produced by Mercedes-Benz is the 770, which is best known for being driven by Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany. Although most of these cars are now owned privately, some have made their way to various museums around the world. In addition to its renowned car models, Mercedes-Benz also created important tanks, trucks, and aircraft engines used during World War II. Thanks to their dedication to producing quality vehicles, Mercedes-Benz continues to be revered by vehicle owners all over the world. As a major player in the automobile sector for over a century, Mercedes-Benz are often seen as an industry pioneer when it comes to automotive technology and safety. From aircraft-style crumple zones and ABS helping to prevent skidding, to airbags reducing injury risk in collisions, they have played a part in making driving safer than ever before. In late 2019, they made changes to their structure which saw the company marque be re-established as a wholly owned subsidiary - Mercedes-Benz AG - managing the car and van divisions. HGVs and buses are now managed by Daimler Truck AG. With these recent structural changes, there is plenty of reason to believe that Mercedes-Benz will be continuing its history of innovation for years to come.

Mercedes Benz in Motorsport

Mercedes-Benz has proudly maintained its strong heritage with the sport dating back to the 1930s. Popularly known at that time as the ‘Silver Arrows’, Mercedes raced their way into motor racing history and in 1954, registered under the name of Mercedes-Benz. The team was triumphant from early on with the first-ever Formula One World Championship won by Juan Manuel Fangio. Alongside him was Stirling Moss who confidently drove his way to success across six of the opening nine races. Tragically, Mercedes-Benz pulled out of competition later that year due to a catastrophic accident at Le Mans resulting in loss of life and injury for many spectators and drivers alike. From then onwards Mercedes have been part of a tumultuous relationship with motor racing highs and lows seen across almost 90 years.

Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to Formula One, having had a long presence in the sport beginning in 1994. After supplying engine power to Sauber, they sponsored McLaren between 1995 and 2014 before switching to Force India (now Aston Martin). Additionally, they have been the sole power source for Williams F1 team since 2014. In 2010 Mercedes Benz took things further, purchasing a controlling stake in BrawnGP and went on to win the 2009 World Championship. Over the past seven years, Mercedes-Benz-powered Formula One teams have gone from strength to strength, amassing four of the highest Constructors’ Championships total in history with seven consecutive wins from 2014 until 2020.
