In which English town is the Mercedes Formula One team based?

The story behind the answer

The Mercedes Formula One team is based in Brackley, an English town in Northamptonshire.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team operates from the former Brawn GP facility in Brackley. Mercedes acquired a major stake in Brawn GP before the 2010 season and rebranded the team as Mercedes GP. The Brackley site therefore became the operational home of Mercedes’ works team when it returned as a constructor.

The team’s British base reflects Formula One’s concentration in the United Kingdom, even though Mercedes is a German marque and races under a German licence. Its power-unit operation is located separately at Brixworth, also in Northamptonshire, at the facility now known as Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains.

The wrong options refer to other racing locations. Milton Keynes is associated with Red Bull Racing, Enstone with the Renault/Alpine lineage, and Woking with McLaren. Brackley is the chassis, race-team and engineering base, while Brixworth develops the engines and hybrid power units.
