It seems a long time since Mercedes weren’t the team winning everything in Formula One. 2017 and 2018 were more encouraging for the other teams but in 2019 the Silver Arrows have destroyed the opposition, winning every single race, scoring five 1-2 finishes and taking 295 points from a possible 308.

When Mercedes re-entered the sport in 2010, they spent a few years getting their act together at the front of the midfield, with a handful of podiums and one victory in three seasons. Lewis Hamilton’s arrival from McLaren in 2013 and improved performance brought three wins and marked a turning point. Mercedes were again an F1 force.

But soon they were the force. In 2014 they became the class of the field with the start of the V6 turbo-hybrid era. It began a period of dominance in modern F1 that is up there with the very best and is still going.

But just how dominant have they been? We take a look at a few charts, figures and graphs that help put into context their supremacy since 2014, and assess how they stack up against periods of dominance by other teams throughout F1 history. Do the current Mercedes team even have a claim to being the best of all time?
