Yesterday And Now: Nico Rosberg's Maiden F1 Win Has Historical Ties, Statistics Say

Formula 1 and statistics always go beautifully together. After MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS broke the ice in the Chinese Grand Prix 2012, it was discovered that Nico's first victory is related to some historic Mercedes-Benz racing achievements. His successful 111th start in F1 comes 111 years after the first-ever win of a Mercedes racing car in 1901 at Nice Speed Weeks in France. In addition, today's performance for the Mercedes-Benz works team also comes almost 57 years after the 1955 Italian Grand Prix held on 11th September at Monza, Italy. We thought it would be nice for you to bring back to light those glorious days. The first new 35 hp car was delivered to Jellinek on 22 December 1900. This new "Mercedes" developed by Wilhelm Maybach caused a sensation at the start of the century: it was the world's first modern car.

The Italian Grand Prix on September 11 brought the curtain down on the W 196 R Silver Arrows. With four events already cancelled that season and all the other races contested by open monoposto cars, Italy also represented the first outing of the season for the streamlined models. A comprehensive re-fit meant that Monza was now something of a high-speed track, and one which took the field past the main grandstand twice every lap. Acknowledging the circuit鈥檚 high average speeds, Neubauer sent Fangio and Moss out in long-wheelbase streamlined cars. Kling, meanwhile, was handed an open monoposto with medium wheelbase and Taruffi lined up with a likewise open, short-wheelbase car.
