"Win First, Refuel Later" - Mercedes Silver Arrows Return To Formula One In 1954
An great look at the history of the Silver Arrow Racer.
Excerpt: July 4, 1954 was a golden day for German sport. Whilst the national football team was lifting the World Cup in Bern, Switzerland, over the border in France Mercedes-Benz was celebrating its return to Grand Prix racing in equally majestic fashion. The Silver Arrows sealed a one-two victory on the Reims circuit, the streamlined speed machines finishing a full lap ahead of their pursuers. The rivals were stunned.
