Few connections are shared with the successful team of the 1950s, and bizarrely, they have closer ties to the likes of Ken Tyrell and err… Craig Pollock. In F1, things change pretty quickly, so a little creative licence is required to trace the true roots of some current teams on the grid. Mercedes are a perfect example of that. It’s not in any way similar to doing the same with a football team as they often keep the same crest, name, colours and even stadium for anything up to a hundred years or more. Tracing the history of Formula 1 teams can be a fairly fractured process. In part two, we're looking back at the origins of the dominant Mercedes AMG Formula 1 team. We're continuing our series looking back to where it all began for some of the current teams on the F1 grid. Lewis Hamilton 63.From manufacturer buyouts to high profile rebrands, F1 has seen it all.

( key) (results in bold indicate pole position results in italics indicate fastest lap) The team finished fourth in the Constructors' Championship, with 214 points and this was the first Mercedes-Benz powered Formula One car to use non- Mobil branded fuel since 1994. At the last race in Abu Dhabi Schumacher spun while trying to overtake Rosberg and was hit by Vitantonio Liuzzi's Force India. Schumacher was penalised for dangerous driving after forcing his former Ferrari team-mate Rubens Barrichello towards the pit wall at 180 mph (290 km/h) in Hungary. He did not score a race win, podium, pole position or fastest lap for the first time since his début season in 1991, and also scored the worst finish of his F1 career at Valencia, where he finished fifteenth. Schumacher's best finishes were three fourth places. Rosberg finished on the podium three times, at Sepang, Shanghai and Silverstone. The team's achievements in their first season did not come close to the results those of Brawn the previous year and of the Mercedes team in 19, with the Mercedes battling Renault for the title of 'best of the rest' behind the leading three teams of Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull. Nico Rosberg finished on the podium at the Malaysian Grand Prix Mercedes's first podium as a works entry since 1955.
