In photos: Mercedes marks magnificent seventh with century of hybrid era wins

2020 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Sunday - Steve Etherington

Mercedes clinched its seventh successive Constructors’ Championship with a 1-2 finish at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. MotorsportWeek.com looks back through the archives at its time atop the standings.

Nico Rosberg (GER) Mercedes AMG F1 W05 leads team mate Lewis Hamilton (GBR) Mercedes AMG F1 W05. Bahrain Grand Prix, Sunday 6th April 2014. Sakhir, Bahrain.

2014: Formula 1 welcomed 1.6 litre V6 power units under revised regulations and Mercedes laid down a marker. Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg duelled for the crown and Mercedes only lost on three occasions, taking 16 victories from 19. Mercedes wrapped up the title in Russia to become the 15th different team to achieve the feat.

2015: Mercedes remained the benchmark by some margin and once more its record read 16 wins from 19 events, with only Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari – as Daniel Ricciardo and Red Bull had done the year before – breaking the stranglehold. For a second successive season it clinched the crown in Russia.

Race winner Nico Rosberg (GER) Mercedes AMG F1 W07 Hybrid and second placed team mate Lewis Hamilton (GBR) Mercedes AMG F1 W07 Hybrid in parc ferme. Russian Grand Prix, Sunday 1st May 2016. Sochi Autodrom, Sochi, Russia.

2016: Its most successful campaign overall. As Formula 1 expanded to a 21-race calendar Mercedes was only beaten twice: when its drivers collided in Spain and when Hamilton’s engine expired in Malaysia. It broke its own record with 19 victories and 735 points, with Rosberg edging Hamilton for the Drivers’ crown before retiring just days later.

Race winner Lewis Hamilton (GBR) Mercedes AMG F1 W08 celebrates at the end of the race with team mate Valtteri Bottas (FIN) Mercedes AMG F1 W08. Italian Grand Prix, Sunday 3rd September 2017. Monza Italy.

2017: Under revised aerodynamic regulations Mercedes faced a credible threat from Ferrari and the lead of the standings swapped hands several times. But once Mercedes got a handle on its ‘diva’ W07 the squad pulled clear and, allied with its rival hitting trouble, eventually wrapped up another title, taking 12 victories from 20 races.

Race winner Lewis Hamilton (GBR) Mercedes AMG F1 W09 celebrates in parc ferme. Brazilian Grand Prix, Sunday 11th November 2018. Sao Paulo, Brazil.

2018: Ferrari put up a more sustained threat across the first half of the campaign and the two teams entered the summer break separated by a mere 10 points. But Ferrari – and Vettel – collapsed as summer turned into autumn as Mercedes and Hamilton hit a new gear. Bottas became the first Mercedes driver in the hybrid era to endure a winless campaign but the team still triumphed 11 teams courtesy of Hamilton and clinched the title with a round to spare.

Race winner Lewis Hamilton (GBR) Mercedes AMG F1 W10 celebrates at the end of the race. Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Sunday 1st December 2019. Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

2019: Mercedes hit a new level with its W10 while opponents Ferrari and Red Bull faltered. Mercedes opened the year with eighth straight victories, the first five being 1-2 finishes, and wrapped up the title in Japan. It finished with 15 victories from 21 rounds in a year in which it had to overcome the loss of Niki Lauda.

2020: The Covid-19 pandemic threatened to derail the season and during the enforced absence Mercedes became part of Project Pitlane, producing breathing aids for patients. When the campaign got underway the W11 proved the class of the field and so far Mercedes has taken all 13 pole positions, 11 victories, and more than double the points tally of its nearest rival. Its Imola triumph was its 100th win of the hybrid era.
