Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says a focus on his team's "mindfulness" has been key to maintaining its dominance of Formula One in recent seasons.
This year Mercedes captured its fifth straight drivers' and constructors' championship. If the team successfully defends the latter next season it will equal the six Ferrari captured between 1999 and 2004.
Despite enjoying huge dominance in the opening years of the V6 turbo era it has faced tough opposition from Ferrari over the past two seasons. While Mercedes has continually delivered race-winning machinery in that time, Wolff says a huge amount of work has been done behind the scenes to keep the operation running at its best.
