Although anyone who has not followed Formula 1 until recently may think that Mercedes, champion of the last eight constructors’ world championships, is a team that has been in the premier class for many years, the truth is that its current stage did not begin so long ago.
The official return of the German team as a constructor to the Formula 1 circuits took place in 2010 under the name of Mercedes Grand Prix , after 55 years of absence at the top of motorsport (before they had only played in the 1954 and 1955 world championships).
The new silver arrows were presented in Stuttgart, Germany, on January 25 of that year with what would be the single-seater called MGP W01,wearing the classiccolor of the star brand and with Petronas as the main sponsor.
His line-up consisted of Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, as well as reserve driver Nick Heidfeld, completing an all-German shortlist.
Mercedes’ unveiling garnered worldwide attention due to the return to the F1 tracks of “legend” Michael Schumacher , who had retired in 2006 with Ferrari. However, the two years of inactivity and especially the injury he suffered in 2005 riding a motorcycle did not allow him to be the same again, and the car from the first steps of Mercedes at that time did not help either.
The team’s staff and the German firm were also present at the presentation: Ross Brawn, Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Nick Fry and Norbert Haug .
