Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/] driver Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] took his maiden pole position on Saturday in Hungary [https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2019/Hungary.html], but was unable to convert it to a win. The Dutchman had been leading much of the race but a better strategy for Lewis Hamilton saw him claw into Verstappen’s lead. For a while, Verstappen relied on coming up behind backmarkers before the DRS zone. However, after passing former teammate Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/], the Dutch driver’s luck was slowly running out. Hamilton tried passing a few times but was unable to pass cleanly and without going off track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_36rqWIeJNs&feature=youtu.be In the end, with four laps to go, Lewis Hamilton finally passed the helpless Max Verstappen. The pole man was not in a position to defend as he had little to no grip left, so he surrendered. https://streamable.com/9lu01 Hamilton went on to take another victory in Formula One while Max Verstappen settled for 2nd. Completing the podium was Sebastian Vettel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/] who made short work of teammate Charles LeClerc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/]. Both Hamilton and Vettel were on fresher tyres compared to their targets, so they had a massive advantage.

<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.

<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.
