The Mercedes F1 team at their UK headquarters in Brackley recently experienced a theft estimated to be worth around £70 million, with £60,000 worth of tools stolen last Thursday prior to the 2025 Qatar Grand Prix weekend, as reported by The Sun. The theft, believed to have been conducted by a third party, has involved the police, impacting numerous tradespeople at the construction site whose livelihoods depend on these tools. Despite the theft happening on Mercedes property, it is managed by a third party during the ongoing construction project. Mercedes is aiming to transform their Brackley base into a Silicon Valley-style campus but declined to comment on the incident. The ongoing work at the site includes a major renovation project to house over 1,250 employees and establish top-notch facilities for sustainability and operational efficiency.
