Formula 1 turned a new page when it introduced new regulations at the start of the 2014 season. Designed to promote efficiency and decrease the sport's carbon footprint, F1, working with the FIA, sought greater reliance on electric power.But as with any regulation overhaul in any sport, one team will often emerge as the one who got the recipe right, while the rest will play catch-up as they seek to close the performance gap and bring themselves to within a chance of challenging for race wins.Speaking of wins, one team and one driver have dominated the headlines since 2014.

Mercedes-AMG and Lewis Hamilton knocked the ball out of the park and set about a domination never seen in F1.We look at the five teams and drivers with the best success record in F1's turbo-hybrid era. Hamilton for the win At the 2014 Australian Grand Prix, Hamilton's teammate and (former) friend, Nico Rosberg, took the victory.

He was the first driver to win a race in the sport's new era, while Hamilton managed to complete two laps before retiring.But the tables turned at the next race in Malaysia when Hamilton took the win ahead of Rosberg, crossing the finish line 17.3 seconds ahead of his teammate.

And so would begin an onslaught of wins that few saw coming.
