==2018-19 Winter Season==
=== Brandenburg Grand Prix ===
The first race of the MFF 2018-19 Winter Season season was in Brandenburg, Mercedes home country. Mercedes was also looking positive in the qualifications, as both Brandon Holschteiner and Steve Michtel finished in Q3 and placed 5th and 7th. The race started well for both Holschteiner and Michtel, as they kept their positions. Brandon Holschteiner, Jaco Van Nierek and Dustin Jacobs were in an intense battle for 5th place, as they were all 3 less than 1 second away from each other. Holschteiner hit the 5th turn and was neck to neck with Jacobs, but then Jaco Van Nierek missed the turn and hit Holschteiner's right tyre. This made Holschteiner fling to the left where Jacobs was, and hit both of them into the wall. Van Nierek hit a wall on the other side. Luckily for Mercedes, Steve Michtel got 5th place and took 10 points to the team.
=== Greater Luxembourg Grand Prix ===
The second race of the MFF 2018-19 Winter Season was in Greater Luxembourg, not too far from Brandenburg. Brandon Holschteiner had yet again a superb time, finishing 5th place, and Steve Michtel finished 8th. Sadly luck turned against Holschteiner when in the 2nd turn of the 1st lap his car spun into the left, hitting Dustin Jacob's bottom right tire in the process. Luckily only they 2 got hit, and it didn't turn too severe. Holschteiner also managed to get away without a penalty. Again was Steve Michtel the only one to take points for the team, placing 6th.
=== Rhinea Grand Prix ===
The third race of the MFF 2018-19 Winter Season was in Rhinea, one of Brandenburg's neighbouring countries. In the qualification both Brandon and Steve had a good qualification, placing 6th and 7th. It would seem that in the race luck turned back to Brandon Holschteiners favour when in one of the last laps Dave Vendham nearly completely blocked the way of the two Western Jetsream cars, causing a near crash. This gave Brandon a small gap to rush through, giving him a third place. Steve held on to his 7th place, nearly getting 8th if James Turnhams cockpit wouldn't have burned by the end of the race.
=== Scotland-Ireland Grand Prix ===
Brandon Holschteiner out qualified Steve Michtel for the 4th time in a row, placing 6th and 9th (nice). The race went well for Steve Michtel as he had gotten up to 5th at some point, but due to a tyre puncture halfway in he fell to 12th and only managed to get up to 9th. Brandon Holdchteiner managed to hold 6th for over half the race until he ran wide and James Turnham overtook him.
=== Dantomkia Grand Prix ===
Dantomkia was the worst race for the Brandenburg Mercedes team. In the qualification Brandon Holschteiner only managed to get 11 and Steve Michtel only got 12. Luck didn't do any good in the race either, as halfway through Steve Michtel slipped on the 4th turn and ran into a wall. Brandon Holschteiner, similarily to Steve Michtel also got up to 6th place but had a tyre puncture and fell down to 11th.
=== Iszria Grand Prix ===
Iszria qualification went a lot better than in Dantomkia, with Brandon Holschteiner in 7th and Steve Michtel in 8th. Steve Michtel yet again had an unfortunate crash as in the 3rd turn of the 1st lap he ran wide and slammed into Diego Rosa, causing both of them to crash. Steve Michtel would get a 2 place grid penalty for the next race for causing an accident. Steve Michtel might not have had a good race, but you couldn't say the same about Brandon Holschteiner. Brandon had a good race, as he overtook James Turnham as James was coming from the pits. Brandon got 6th place.
=== Ryukyu Union Grand Prix ===
In the third last race, Steve Michtel would have finally out qualified his teammate Brandon Holschteiner in the qualification as he placed 10th and Brandon 11th. Due to his grid penalty Steve Michtel started in 12th and Brandon Holschteiner in 10th. The race went well for both drivers as they both went up by 2 positions, but both of them got overtaken by the person below them so instead of going up by 3, they went up by 2. Brandon and Steve finished 8th and 10th.
=== Western Republic Grand Prix ===
For the second last race, the race was looking to be successful, as Brandon Holschteiner got 6th and Steve Michtel got 7th in the qualification, however due to grid penalties Holschteiner started in 11th. This was the 4th and final race were both drivers finished, with Holschteiner finishing in 7th and Michtel in 8th.
=== Canotia Grand Prix ===
For the final race there was extra pressure as there was double points. Brandon Holschteiner did well in the qualifying, placing 6th, however the pressure seemed to get to Steve Michtel as he only finished 10th. Michtels weekend would become even worse as he was apart of the huge lap 1 crash, getting hit by Yorahinu Tousaifan who got brake tested and flew into the air. Michtel would also get a penalty for driving into Diego Rosa, but Michtels back wheels were destroyed and Michtel could not control the car. Holschteiner however, had a great race, finishing in 7th, the same as the race before.
