That dark day in 2019 at Monaco took a hit at Mercedes. However, the Brackley-based team marched on, and for that race painted the car’s halo red to honor Niki. Indeed, Lewis Hamilton won for Mercedes, a much-deserved victory for the team, and dedicated the win to their fallen hero.
Niki must be looking from above as the team has reached new highs. The Brackley-based won their seventh constructor’s title and saw their number 44 driver become a seven-time world champion.
Lewis Hamilton will be on the grid for the upcoming season in 2021. The Silver Arrows will eye on another constructor’s title as their British driver will look to break the title if he wins an eight-world title. Wherever Niki is, he must be proud of what the Silver Arrows are achieving.
