Mercedes' story goes all the way back to the invention of the automobile, patented by one of Mercedes' founders, Karl Benz. Their history stretches from 1885 to the present, and we're breaking it all down.

In this episode, we're breaking down some of the most iconic contributions Mercedes has given to motorsport: the invention of the team principal, Michael Schumacher's return to Formula 1, a rivalry between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg so good it got a ship name (Brocedes), and the most successful driver and constructor pairing in history.

Plus a few moments from the past: like how the Silver Arrows moniker was born. And, a look at the future of the team, with Lewis Hamilton departing, and George Russell and Kimi Antonelli moving forward.
