Mercedes MGP W01

Formula One racing car

| Turbo/NA = naturally aspirated The Mercedes MGP W01 (originally known as the Brawn BGP 002) was a Formula One motor racing car designed and built by the Mercedes GP Petronas team for the season and was driven by the returning seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg.

Mercedes buyout and development

Some parts of the W01 were revised as part of the upgrade at the Spanish GP; increasing the wheelbase of the car to improve the weight distribution, as well as changing the engine cover design. The shorter wheelbase was used again at the next grand prix, deemed more suitable for the narrow streets of the Monaco GP circuit.

Racing history

The team finished fourth in the Constructors' Championship, with 214 points
