Mercedes' Proposal for F1 Headquarters in Brackley Gets Green Light

Mercedes-AMG Petronas, an F1 team based in Brackley, has received approval from West Northamptonshire Council to expand its campus. Despite opposition from nearby businesses, the council believes the expansion will bring significant economic benefits to the town. The team plans to relocate its staff access point from Lauda Drive to St James Road, but local firms are concerned that the increased traffic will cause disruptions and may lead to a loss of employees. The council approved the expansion subject to certain conditions, including a consultation with local businesses and the submission of construction and car park management plans.
