Three Formula One teams with engines from Mercedes-Benz

The Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, the first race of the Formula One season, marks the first time that three teams with engines from Mercedes-Benz are in the starting line-up. In addition to Vodafone McLaren-Mercedes, the two other teams - Brawn GP and Force India - also rely on the 2.4-litre V8 engines built by Mercedes-Benz High Performance Engines in Brixworth, UK. Jenson Button wins the opening race in a Brawn BGP 001 racing car, as well as five out of the next six grand prix races.
