In the years leading up to World War Two the German government pumped money into Mercedes and rivals Auto Union to build the most technically advanced racing machines the world had seen.</p> <p>After the war it wasn’t until the mid-fifties that German teams were allowed to compete again. When Mercedes returned it picked up where it had left off. <a title="Juan Manuel Fangio" href="/web/20120326170234/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/whos-who/whos-who-f/juan-manuel-fangio/">Juan Manuel Fangio</a> moved to the team from Maserati part way through 1954 and won the world title.</p> <p>Fangio won a second title when joined by Stirling Moss in 1955. But the team’s sports car effort was withdrawn from the Le Mans 24 Hours that year after one of its drivers, Pierre Levegh, crashed into the crowd. Levegh and over 80 spectators were killed. Mercedes withdrew from all motor racing competition and did not return until the 1980s.</p> <p>It wasn’t until 1993 that the Mercedes name was seen again in F1, as an engine supplier to Sauber. It switched teams to <a title="McLaren" href="/web/20120326170234/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/f1-teams/mclaren/">McLaren</a> and won championships with them in 1998, 1999 and 2008.</p> <p>A last-minute deal to supply the <a title="Brawn GP" href="/web/20120326170234/http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/f1-information/f1-teams/brawn-gp/">Brawn</a> team with engines in 2009 led to wins in both the drivers’ and constructors’ championships. It also paved the way for Mercedes to return to the sport as a full constructor in 2010 after it took over the team.<a name="results"></a></p> <h3>Results</h3> <p><script type="text/javascript"
