The history of the iconic factory in Brixworth can be tracked back to 1984. The foundation was led by Paul Morgan and Mario Illien. Roger Penske brought in the funding, which turned out to be fruitful for the years to come.

Ever since the hybrid era was introduced, the team at Brixworth stepped up their game. The team won both the driver’s championship and the constructor’s championship since 2014, and hope to do the same this year as well.

As years went by, the Silver Arrows have expanded to support their own team on the grid and help out their rivals as well. In the 2021 season, Mercedes provided power units to Williams, McLaren, and Aston Martin.
