Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg each sampled a Mercedes W196 at the Nurburgring Nordschleife during the German Grand Prix weekend.

The W196 was the last race-winning Mercedes. Juan Manuel Fangio scored victory at the wheel of one in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in 1955.

After that, Mercedes withdrew from the sport, and did not return as a full constructor until last year.
