5 moments that defined Mercedes’ 2014 Formula 1 season

It was a landmark year for the Mercedes AMG team, for hybrid-turbo technology and for Lewis Hamilton, eventual winner of the most hotly contested season in quite a while.

At the end of the year, we look back at five of these pivotal moments for Mercedes AMG Petronas, recapping them and remembering them with glee.
