Lewis Hamilton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/] is the leading driver for Mercedes and Valtteri Bottas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/] will once again provide support this season. For 2019, the pair will be backed up by third and reserve driver Esteban Ocon [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/esteban-ocon/]. He was drafted as a reserve driver after losing his drive following the fall of Force India. Mercedes [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes] are expected to part ways with Bottas at the end of the year if he fails to perform at the same level as Hamilton. If that does come to pass, Ocon could be in line to step up and replace the Finn. But if he is not given a chance to drive in motorsport’s premier competition, he could consider calling time on his racing career. “I want to be world champion one day. It’s my goal and my dream,” Ocon told Auto Hebdo. “Of course it’s not great not to compete this season, but I’m still focused on F1 and I think it’s the right choice. “After, if I do not find a drive for 2020, then it will turn to something because I have to continue working and find the track in the race.” Ocon [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/jm1711my289.jpg]Esteban Ocon Ocon could be called upon at any moment this season to step in for Hamilton or Bottas. And he is doing everything possible to be ready for any situations which may arise. “I will be present at all the Grands Prix,” he added. “I must stay on the page and informed of everything that happens in case I have to return at one time or another. “You never know what the future holds in F1.” Hamilton is the favourite to win his sixth world title this year. Success would take him one win behind Michael Schumacher’s all-time record. Ocon’s seat at Force India, now called Racing Point [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_Point_Force_India], has been taken over by Lance Stroll [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/f1-mercedes-ocon-start-1280x686.jpg]Ocon in the Mercedes

<h2>Mercedes: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
German manufacturing giant, Mercedes-Benz, first got involved in racing back in the 1930s and 1940s. After the Second World War, they returned in 1954, in what is now known as Formula One. However, they pulled out as a manufacturer after 1955, remaining only as a supplier.

The team are commonly referred to as the 'Silver Arrows' due to its distinct and iconic silver livery.

Their exit was a direct response to the 1955 Le Mans Disaster. They would be coaxed back as a constructor, only from 2010 onwards.

The team have announced <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/">Valtteri Bottas</a> as their 2021 driver with the other seat yet to be filled, with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a>'s contract being extended as the most probable outcome.
<h2>How much does Mercedes earn from F1?</h2>
Clinching the prized Constructors' Championship entails a lot of prestige, but more importantly, a bigger paycheck. Despite spending an absurd amount of money on car development, it ultimately pays off for Mercedes when they decimate the competition on the track. According to a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2019/11/26/formula-one-team-values-ferrari-mercedes/#261d6d611ddb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a>, the Brackley-based outfit earned a handsome $451 million in revenue for the 2019 season.
<h2>How much is the Mercedes F1 team worth?</h2>
Despite being one of the most successful F1 teams in recent history, the Silver Arrows aren't the most valuable F1 team. The German team lose out to Scuderia Ferrari, which needs no introduction. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2019/11/26/formula-one-team-values-ferrari-mercedes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apparently</a>, Mercedes are valued at a whopping $1,015 million or just over a billion dollars.
<h2><strong>What are Mercedes' on-track a</strong><b>chievements?</b></h2>
During their first two years in Formula One, there was no Constructors' Championship. It was only introduced from 1958 onwards. However, they did win four races out of a nine-race 1954 calendar. Those wins came at the French Grand Prix, the German Grand Prix, the Swiss Grand Prix, and the Spanish Grand Prix.

A year later, they would go on to win five out of seven races. These wins came at Argentina, Belgium, Netherlands, Great Britain, and Italy.

After their return in 2010, there were off to a shaky start, having been away for so long. However, since 2013, things have been picking up, and they began to dominate from 2014, which saw the inception of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1.

Mercedes have won every single Drivers' and Constructors' Championship on offer since 2014. The team have won 115 races out of 227 races.

<h2><strong>Esteban Ocon 2021: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Esteban Ocon got the short end of the stick at the end of the 2018 season. The Frenchman took up karting in 2006 and only progressed from there.

In 2012, he joined the Formula Renault 2.0 Championship and raced there for two years. Then, in 2014, he went up to the Formula Renault 3.5 series for two races. In the same year, he raced in the European Formula 3 championship. Also, he was appointed as the test driver for Lotus F1.

A year later, he joined the GP3 Series and became a test driver for Sahara Force India. Finally, in 2016, he got his big break when he was called up by the Manor team to replace Indonesian driver <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_Haryanto">Rio Haryanto</a>.

For the next two years, Ocon partnered with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/">Sergio Perez</a> at Force India, later renamed to Racing Point.
<h2><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
In his first season in European Formula 3, he proved his mettle straightaway by grabbing a podium in the first race. He followed it up with a win in the next race. From Race 2 in Hockenheim, he registered a podium streak of eight races. Overall, he won the championship with nine wins and 12 podiums.

In GP3, he took the championship again and he did not finish lower than 7th. Ocon bagged one win and 13 podiums on his way to the title, beating Luca Ghioto.

Coming to Ocon's F1 stint, he had a record 27-race finishing streak. Sadly, it was broken in Brazil 2017 after <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/romain-grosjean/">Romain Grosjean</a> collided with him. He went on to finish 8th in the 2017 championship.

In 2018, he ended the season in 12th place and his performance was not enough to warrant a seat anywhere. Fortunately, Mercedes snapped him up and made him their reserve driver.

After a year away from F1, Ocon is back at Renault. For the 2021 F1 season, he will drive with F1 Champion <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>. The Renault F1 team is rebranded as the Alpine F1 team.

The French driver achieved his best F1 performance at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix, where he finished in 2nd position.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

Hamilton and Mercedes are the defending Champions with the pair's dominance unlikely to end anytime soon.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

Formula One

History The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy&#8217;s Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo. The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is Michael Schumacher with 7 under his belt. However, Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher&#8217;s record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He?spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights. But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo. Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the &#8216;liberty era&#8217; of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021. The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport.
