Mercedes F1 2027: drivers, power unit and where to see the team

Mercedes F1 2027 line-up: Antonelli and Russell

Both seats are confirmed. Kimi Antonelli, the Italian who wears number 12 and made his debut in 2025, leads the 2026 standings with 340 points after the Singapore Grand Prix, and he is the youngest championship leader in the history of the sport. He has 8 wins so far.

George Russell carries number 63, debuted in 2019 and also has 8 wins, including Australia, Austria and Azerbaijan in 2026. Having a British driver and a young Italian side by side gives the team strong support at both Silverstone and Monza.

The Mercedes power unit in F1 2027

Mercedes builds its own engine and supplies it to McLaren, Alpine and Williams as well as the works cars. That means four of the eleven teams on the grid depend on the same manufacturer, so Mercedes performance is easy to watch across the whole field.

Why the Mercedes F1 2027 engine matters to spectators

If you enjoy tactical racing, you will often see Mercedes-powered cars fighting each other in different colours. Our F1 teams 2027 guide shows every engine partnership side by side.

Brackley base and history of Mercedes F1

The official entry name is Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, and the factory is in Brackley, England, not far from the Silverstone circuit. The marque first raced in Formula 1 in 1954 and 1955, then returned as a full works constructor in 2010. It has won 8 constructors' titles, and its record puts it among the most successful teams of the modern era.

The team's long record, a mix of experience in Russell and fresh talent in Antonelli, and a stable structure explain why it still attracts large crowds. Its supporters are easy to spot in the grandstands at most rounds. The reigning drivers' champion for 2025 is Lando Norris of McLaren, so Mercedes comes into 2027 as one of the chasing teams, with Antonelli already at the top of the current standings.

Where to watch Mercedes F1 2027 on the calendar

The team races at every round of the 24-race F1 2027 calendar, opening with pre-season testing in Bahrain on 24 to 27 February and the Bahrain Grand Prix on 14 March. Two weekends stand out for fans of this line-up: the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 4 July, close to the team's base, and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on 5 September, where an Italian driver in silver will be cheered loudly.
