From the vast number of drivers who have competed for Mercedes-Benz and the marque’s ancestors Daimler, Mercedes and Benz in the past 115 years, legends such as Hermann Lang, Karl Kling, Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher stand out. However, recorded history should not forget all those works drivers and privateers whose exploits at the wheel of formula, sports racing and touring cars added to the fame of the company from Mannheim and Stuttgart, and whose names have unjustly almost sunk into oblivion. Famous or obscure, the 240 fastest of these drivers are presented in this volume of words and pictures, which has been compiled in close co-operation with Mercedes-Benz Classic.
