F1 Never Sleeps: The Mercedes-AMG F1 W09 EQ Power + Unveiled

There’s a storm brewing at Silverstone. In a darkened pit garage the covers have been pulled off one of the most eagerly anticipated race cars of 2018.

- 

After a long winter which followed in the wake of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport Team wrapping up a fourth consecutive constructors’ championship, and a further driver’s title with Lewis Hamilton at the wheel; the vehicle to carry the entire Silver Arrows family’s hopes and dreams is out of the box.

The new car has some serious shoes to fill. 12 race wins, 15 pole positions – more than any other team on the grid – are just the recent highlights of a record breaking past season. It’s little wonder why then, that the factories at Brackley and Brixworth have logged thousands of hours since the flag dropped in Abu Dhabi, to pull together over 40,000 parts to create the team’s most advanced Formula One car ever. Evolution is the watchword with the Mercedes-AMG F1 W09 EQ Power+.

The all-new F1 W09 EQ Power+ shares a big portion of its DNA from its predecessor, and as such carries a range of subtle developments which will add up to a package which will hopefully destroy the competition, come lights out at race one in Australia on March 25th.
