ESSENTIALLY SPORTS [http://WWW.ESSENTIALLYSPORTS.COM] : MERCEDES EVALUATING OPTIONS FOR 2020 F1 SEASON: DIETER ZETSCHE Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche has said that Mercedes will stay in Formula 1 until 2020. Beyond that, the German marquee will have to assess their options. These speculations came out especially after they withdrew from DTM to join Formula E in 2019. However, Zetsche said: “Formula 1 [http://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/] is linked to our history and our brand. It is a component that has helped us develop the brand and make it younger, so for now I do not see a change of strategy until 2021. The Concorde agreement will last until that date and I am not even thinking about it,” [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/ZetscheACEA_728_455_70_c1_t_l-300x188.jpg]Mercedes chairman Dieter Zetsche FUTURE PLANS Zetsche spoke of Mercedes’ future at the unveiling of the Project One supercar. “We decided to leave DTM and start the project in Formula E,” he explained. “At the moment this series is a social and PR platform, but we want to help to increase the competition between the teams.” [interaction id=”592fd15280639da10ef56bef”] Even team boss Toto Wolff and Niki Lauda have echoed Zetsche’s words. He said, “Mercedes decided in 2009 to compete not only as an engine supplier but also with its own team in Formula 1. We have committed ourselves until 2020, but what happens then is unclear. In my opinion, we will stay in Formula 1 [https://www.formula1.com] if the sport develops in a positive way.” So in other words, Mercedes are not going anywhere, anytime soon. But why would they? they have a good thing going for them at the moment. Two solid drivers with one confirmed for 2018 as well. Championship leader Lewis Hamilton has yet to renew his contract, but an announcement is expected soon. 

Mercedes boss Dieter Zetsche has said that the Mercedes team is considering
their options for the 2020 Formula One season.

<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.

Toto Wolff and British Chemical giant Ineos are equal partners in the team.

<h2><strong>Singapore Grand Prix - 2021 Latest News, Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</strong></h2>
The Singapore Grand Prix was first introduced to the F1 calendar in 2008. Since then, it has been a regular feature in the Formula One World Championship except 2020.

The race under artificial lights usually starts at midday GMT (8 PM local time) at the Marina Bay street circuit, which is the standard time for European Grands Prix. While this moderates the extreme daytime apparent temperature in the tropical climate, cockpit temperatures can still reach 60 ?C (140 ?F).
<h2><strong>Controversy</strong></h2>
The very first race itself was marred in controversy, courtesy of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/">Renault</a>. Apparently, Nelson Piquet Jr was told to crash his car deliberately to bring out the safety car.

Meanwhile, his teammate <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a> had already pitted for fresh tires and fuel. So, he benefitted handsomely when the rest of the pack pitted under the safety car, vaulting him up the order to an unlikely win.

However, months later, the FIA smelt a rat and investigated the incident. Then Piquet Jr squealed, revealing that his crash was a ploy to let Alonso win. As a result, team principal Flavio Briatore was banned and Nelson Piquet Jr's career was practically thrown away.

While the track itself isn't the best suited to overtaking, it makes for a spectacle with F1 cars shining under the lights in all their glory.

<h2><strong>Singapore Grand Prix ?Circuit Details</strong></h2>
Like Monaco, the Singapore Grand Prix is held on a street circuit. However, the track is admittedly a little wider, which allows for some overtaking.

The circuit length is around 5.063 kilometers with the track record being 1 minute and 41.905 seconds. It also has an average speed of 178.782 km/h.
<h2><strong>Where to watch</strong></h2>
In India, the practice sessions, qualifying, and the race will be broadcast on the Star Sports network. In Africa, Supersport is in charge of broadcast while in Asia and Australia, Fox Sports handles the broadcast. Canada has RDS while China telecasts the race on CCTV.

France relies of TF1 and Canal+ for their Formula One telecast. Germany, Austria and Switzerland have RTL Germany to thank. Italians who cannot travel to Monza can watch the race on Sky Italia. Spain and Andorra have Movistar, while the United Kingdom has Channel 4 and Sky Sports. USA also shows the race on ESPN.
<h2><strong>Singapore Grand Prix Tickets</strong></h2>
Tickets are mostly available on the <a href="https://tickets.formula1.com/en/f1-3301-singapore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">official Formula One website</a>.
<h2><strong>Singapore Grand Prix Venue</strong></h2>
Since 2008, the venue for the Singapore Grand Prix has been the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The 2021 Singapore GP is set to take place from 1-3 October.

<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.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-99263" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/F1-logo-f.png" alt="Formula One" width="2048" height="1536" />

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.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport. It has produced champions like Fangio, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ayrton-senna/">Ayrton Senna</a>, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alain-prost/">Alain Prost</a>, Schumacher, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/">Fernando Alonso</a>, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and many many more.

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.

Pool via REUTERS/Yuri Kochetkov Hamilton and Mercedes are the defending Champions with the pair&#8217;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 &#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. It has produced champions like Fangio, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and many many more.
