Every detail counts.

Sometimes just one manoeuvre is all that’s needed to make the effects of technological progress felt. That realisation is something you can experience first-hand at the headquarters of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport in Brackley. Behind locked, ­access-controlled doors, delicate items are handled by employees wearing dark team uniforms, gloves, safety goggles – sometimes even breathing apparatus. Watching them through the small windows on the ground floor, it quickly becomes clear that this isn’t just a ­racing car factory; it’s a laboratory for the future.
