2016 Formula One world champion Nico Rosberg has backed his former teammate Lewis Hamilton for the 2018 F1 title. Rosberg had hung up his boots nearly a week after beating his teammate for the 2016 championship. In 2017, the Briton got his prize, namely his fourth career championship ahead of Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel. For the upcoming 2018 season, the Italian outfit are quietly confident that their car is capable of matching Hamilton and his Mercedes. Rumour has it that Ferrari are ready to win their first F1 championship since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007. However, Rosberg is not convinced yet, so he has backed his former foe to dominate for another year. 2018 F1 Title [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/rosberg-300x200.jpg]Nico Rosberg thinks Hamilton can win the 2018 F1 title He said, “My prediction corresponds to what happened last year. So Lewis Hamilton wins, this time just one point ahead of Sebastian Vettel. After that is Lewis’ team-mate Valtteri Bottas and the two Red Bulls of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo.” But not everyone holds the same opinion as Rosberg. Former F1 driver, Timo Glock believes that Ferrari will build on their second-place finish from 2017. The former Toyota driver said, “I think Ferrari had a very good base last year and they can build on that. But pressure can change a lot, even if we see a very exciting fight to the end”. Timo Glock is infamously known for playing a role in Lewis Hamilton’s 2008 title win with McLaren. Glock currently races in the Intercontinental GT Challenge for BMW. The 2018 F1 season gets underway next month in Australia and all teams will be raring to go. While Rosberg has firmly said that he will not return to racing, many have linked him to a potential managerial role. The move makes sense as Rosberg is still affiliated with Mercedes and the German manufacturer will be joining the increasingly popular Formula E in 2019.

<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.
