references 7 external links background edit a 2004 mclaren powered by the mercedes ilmor 3.0 litre v10 ilmor was founded by mario illien and paul morgan in 1983 as an independent british formula one engine manufacturer . the company name was taken from the surnames of the founders . it originally started building engines for indycars with the money of indycar team owner and chassis manufacturer roger penske . 1 daimler benz acquired chevrolet s 25 % share of ilmor in 1993 . in 2002 daimler ag increased its share to 55 % and renamed the company mercedes ilmor . 1 in 2005 daimler became the sole owner of ilmor and renamed the company first to mercedes benz high performance engines then to mercedes benz highperformanceengines . in december 2011 the company was renamed to mercedes amg high performance powertrains along with the renaming of mercedes gp to incorporate the mercedes amg brand . 2 at the same time the small special projects part of the company which between 2003 and 2005 had been contracted to design and build honda s indy racing league engines until 2006 split away to become a separate company owned by mario illien and roger penske . this new company which is totally independent of mercedes is once again known as ilmor engineering ltd. history edit mercedes benz from 2010 onwards also competes as a constructor as well as an engine maker . in 1991 ilmor entered formula one as the engine supplier to the leyton house team formerly march . in 1992 leyton house changed its name back to march and continued using ilmor engines . ilmor also delivered engines to the tyrrell team in that year . powered by an ilmor v10 tyrrell scored 8 points and march 3 points . 1 ilmor already had a good name in f1 and so the sauber sportscar team and mercedes benz that were planning their formula one entrance together signed a deal with ilmor to produce racing engines for them . however mercedes stepped back from the project with the engines only carrying the slogan concept by mercedes benz and the engines were officially called saubers . however after an unexpectedly fast performance in 1993 sauber convinced mercedes to enter officially in 1994 . in 1994 ilmor also supplied the new pacific gp team of keith wiggins with the old 1993 spec engines . pacific only managed to qualify seven times in thirty two attempts although the engine was not implicated in this poor display . force india one of mercedes engine users . ilmor became the engine partner to mclaren in 1995 . the partnership took its first win at the 1997 australian grand prix . mika h kkinen picked up drivers championships in 1998 and 1999 and the team won the constructors championship in 1998 . 1 after a winless 2006 season mclaren bounced back and won the drivers championship in 2008 with lewis hamilton . in 2001 paul morgan was killed whilst landing his vintage aeroplane at sywell aerodrome northamptonshire . this led to mercedes benz increasing their financial involvement in ilmor with the company being renamed mercedes ilmor ltd. the new formula one regulations in 2014 saw mercedes produce a hybrid 1.6 litre turbocharged v6 engine which features both kinetic energy recovery system and a heat energy recovery system . the mercedes engine started the season with a clear advantage with mercedes engined cars scoring the majority of the points . 3 since the introduction of the new engine formula there have only been two occasions where a car with a non mercedes power unit achieved pole position . similarly as of the 2016 japanese grand prix mercedes powered cars have won 47 out of 55 races during this period . formula one customer engine results edit constructor season s total wins first win last win sauber 1994 0 mclaren 1995 2014 78 1997
