#4 Mercedes are the World Champions
Trending
Mercedes had set the benchmark in F1 ever since the new 1.6-litre V6 turbo hybrid engine was introduced. Since 2014, they have 47 race victories to their name out of 55. In the on-going season, they have won 15 races out of 17 held including the Japanese GP.
In the Japanese GP, Mercedes had to outscore the Red Bull by 23 points. The Silver Arrows did that in style.
In 2016 season, the German team had won the Constructor’s Championship with four races to spare.
The Silver Arrows have joined an elite league of F1 teams who had won the Constructor’s Championship three or more times in a row. The other teams to achieve this feat are Ferrari, Williams, McLaren and Red Bull. Scuderia Ferrari is the only team to accomplish this rare feat twice.
New rules and regulations will come into effect from next season. The likes of Red Bull, Ferrari, and McLaren would be working extra time to reduce the gap between themselves and Mercedes. Will these teams succeed or the Silver Arrows will continue to dominate?
