7 titles in a row and totally dominant. Mercedes are in a different league right now leaving everyone else fighting for second.
There is not much more that you can say about Mercedes AMG Formula One except they ae just a machine that keeps on churning out winning results. No other team has been this dominant for so long in the history of Formula One. Ferrari achieved 6 when they had Schumacher in his prime, but otherwise 4 was the most consecutive seasons a team had achieved.

Normally we see a team win the constructors title a few rimes in a row before another team catches them up and surpasses them. Mercedes have managed to stay out in front and dominate the racing scene for 7 years which is unheard of. This team is the benchmark of where teams need to be if they want to be challenging at the top.

What is refreshing is the team is still hungry for more and are not resting on their laurels. Each week the team wants to win and improve wherever possible. The other 9 teams on the grid must be wandering what they need to do to compete as Mercedes is that far ahead. This season their dominance is highlighted by the fact the title has been won after 13 races with 4 still to go. Red Bull their closest rival

Toto Wolff must take most of the credit for hiring the right people and molding a team of winners. Every success story whether it is in business or something else you surround yourself with individuals who are the best i their field. His attitude to winning 7 titles is that they aren't done yet and believes they can still improve on what they have now. He believes that they need to just stay motivated and energised and improvements will happen. Keeping the team together must be the top priority as winning is all many of them know and that mentality is the key to winning more.

Trophies from last season shows how dominant they are.
I think what makes this even more special is Mercedes have not only been fighting their rivals, but the FIA who has tried to change the rulings making it a more even playing field. The FIA must hate having one team so dominant as fans may see it as boring knowing no one can beat the top team.
Next season with all the new changes it will be interesting to see what happens bit knowing Mercedes that are still going to be out front. Red Bull need to find a new driver to replace Alex Albon urgently so they can try and mount a challenge. Max Verstappen cannot fight this dominance on his own and needs a team mate who can put pressure on the two Mercedes cars.
