The marque debuted in Formula One in 1954. After winning their first race at the 1954 French Grand Prix, driver Juan Manuel Fangio won another three Grands Prix to win the 1954 Drivers' Championship and repeated this success in 1955. Despite winning two Drivers' Championships, Mercedes-Benz withdrew from motor racing after 1955 in response to the 1955 Le Mans disaster and did not return to Formula One until 1994 as an engine supplier in association with Ilmor, a British independent high-performance autosport engineering company which would later be acquired by Mercedes.

Since re-entering as a constructor in 2010, Mercedes has become one of the most successful teams in recent Formula One history; having achieved consecutive Drivers' and Constructors' Championships from 2014 to 2020. In 2014, Mercedes achieved 11 one-two finishes improving on McLaren's 1988 record of 10. The record was extended the following year with 12 one-two finishes. Mercedes also collected 16 victories in 2014 and 2015 apiece breaking McLaren (1988) and Ferrari's (2002, 2004) record of 15. In 2016, they extended this record with 19 wins. Its 2020 drivers are Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas. In 2019, they beat the record Michael Schumacher and Ferrari set in 2004 which was 5 consecutive championship doubles, with Mercedes getting 6 in a row.
