The brand with the three-pointed star has a long tradition at the pinnacle of motorsport, dating back to the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1950s. Today, Mercedes-AMG not only provides the Official Safety & Medical Cars for Formula 1, but has also been back on the grid since 2010 with its own works entry, the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team. The brand is also committed to developing young talent and has recently added two of its Junior drivers, George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, to its works team.

We not only live performance in real racing but also on the virtual racetrack. Dive into the world of virtual motorsport and become part of the community of our own sim racing competition, the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport Virtual Championship.

However, the platform of sim racing goes far beyond Esports when our real-life AMG Drivers regularly jump into their simulator to prepare for important real racing events.

The motorsport history of the brand with the three-pointed star begins on 22 July 1894, the day of the world's first motor race. It led from Paris to Rouen and ended with the victory of two vehicles with a Daimler licence engine.

This was the start of a unique string of success with many defining moments: from the birth of the legendary 'Silver Arrows' at the Eifel race in 1934 to the outstanding title records of the most recent Formula 1 era.

The first sporting milestone in the name of AMG came in 1971 with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.8 AMG and its sensational performance in the 24-hour race at Spa. A place of honour in the history books also belongs to the C-Class from Mercedes-AMG, by far the most successful vehicle generation in DTM history. Since 2010, the brand's motorsport history has continued to be written through the countless successes of the Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing teams around the globe.
