©Mercedes The Mercedes W196 was where it all started in F1 for the German manufacturer. The car first raced at the 1954 French GP in Reims and it was a dominant conqueror straight out of the box!

This original Silver Arrows brought two world championships to Mercedes and to Fangio, its legendary driver.
