The 2010s

The Era

The 2010s began with a thrilling four-way title fight and ended with Mercedes rewriting the record books. Sebastian Vettel's four consecutive championships with Red Bull (2010-2013), backed by Adrian Newey's aerodynamic genius and Renault power, established him as one of the greats. But the introduction of 1.6-litre V6 turbo-hybrid power units in 2014 changed everything: Mercedes had invested heavily in the new technology and arrived with a car so dominant that the rest of the field spent the next several years playing catch-up. Lewis Hamilton won five of the six championships between 2014 and 2019, engaging in a fierce intra-team rivalry with Nico Rosberg (who won in 2016 and promptly retired) before dispatching Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari challenge and establishing himself alongside Schumacher as the sport's most successful driver. The era also saw the arrival of Max Verstappen, who became the youngest-ever race winner at 18 in 2016, and the expansion of the calendar to include races in Baku, Russia, and Vietnam (later cancelled).
