Alejandro Soberón • Chief executive officer and president, Corporación Interamericana de Entretenimiento

SIX MACHINE • Many teams have achieved dominance in Formula 1, but for most that pre-eminence is fleeting. Mercedes has now won six consecutive title doubles against a background of changes introduced to disrupt. Has it now became F1’s highest flyer and greatest-ever team?

THE RACE TO THE SEXTUPLE DOUBLE • Mercedes is the first six-time consecutive double champion team, but how does that compare with Ferrari’s five-time domination from 2000-2004?

IN CONVERSATION WITH LEWIS HAMILTON • Lewis Hamilton has played a key part in Mercedes’ extraordinary run to six consecutive world championship doubles. In this exclusive chat with F1 Racing, Lewis explains what makes this such a special team, how the group is empowered to flourish, and the role he performs as the “rudder” of the ship

ALL THE KING’S HORSES • Ferrari may have caught up – in qualifying at least – but a Mercedes power unit remains the one to have if you want to win races and championships. F1 Racing gets an exclusive look behind the scenes at Brixworth, the power behind Lewis Hamilton’s thrones…

BIRTH OF A TITAN

IN CONVERSATION WITH VALTTERI BOTTAS • He might be the world championship runner-up – his best finish in three seasons with Mercedes – but Valtteri Bottas still admits he can’t be totally satisfied with his 2019 season. In this exclusive interview he tells F1 Racing all about his drive to improve himself – and what he gets up to on the internet…

THE LEADER OF THE PACK • Under Toto Wolff’s stewardship Mercedes has enjoyed unprecedented success. Not bad considering he’d never run an organisation of this size before… In this exclusive interview he reveals the working culture behind the team’s success, the extent of his own commitment to the cause, and why he doesn’t like talking about ‘management style’

GO FIGURE • Mercedes has claimed an unprecendented run of six consecutive championship doubles since the start of the hybrid era in 2014, so here are some of the stats behind the team’s total domination of F1 over the past six seasons and 121 races

THE WINNING CAR THAT NEVER RACED • Think you know everything about the championship-winning Mercedes W10? Think again. The car pictured here is not what it seems – and demonstrates the depth and confidence that makes Mercedes a serial winner.

THE LEGEND OF THE SILVER ARROWS • Mercedes lacks a continuous history in F1 but this montage tells the story of three distinct and highly successful periods

NIGEL ROEBUCK’S FORMULA ONE HEROES

FROM ZERO TO HERO • Alexander Albon nearly quit racing when Red Bull dropped him from its driver-development programme. As late as last year, he thought his Formula 1 dream was over so signed a deal to race in Formula E. What a difference 12 months makes – this is his journey…
