About the Decades and the corresponding Posters

The 1950s poster features theMaserati 250Fas driven by five-times world champion Juan Manuel Fangio. For the ‘60s we have selected Jim Clark’sLotus 25, while the ‘70s artwork showsAutomobilistbrand ambassador Sir Jackie Stewart in the strikingTyrrell 006. There could only be one choice for the 1980s design, which pictures Ayrton Senna in theMcLaren MP4/4. Who else but Nigel Mansell and his “Red 5”Williams FW14Bto represent the ‘90s? The most successful driver of all time, Michael Schumacher and his seven world championship crowns features in theF2002for the 2000s design. Two men dominated the scene in the last decade, as Sebastian Vettel gave Red Bull Racing four consecutive titles before Lewis Hamilton won five in six years. TheMercedes-AMG F1 W10EQ Power+was so dominating in the 2019 season, winning 15 races, including 11 for Hamilton on his way to his sixth title. Their success meant that Mercedes have won every single title since the sport’s new hybrid power unit formula was introduced in 2014.
