A new beast broke cover today, ready to rip into the 2017 Formula One season with record breaking speed.
Arguably the box fresh Mercedes F1 W08 EQ Power+ has the biggest shoes to fill at the pinnacle of four-wheel circuit racing; as it lines up to defend a triple World Championship winning legacy set by the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team in 2014, 2015, and 2016. Designed to meet the dramatic rule changes set out for the coming year’s racing, the new Silver Arrows boasts an aggressive look; sporting wider tyres and a hard-hitting aerodynamics package.
In fact the rule changes could see the new cars hit previously unmatched lap times, with the redesigned powertrain, increased grip from the new tyres, and aero packages allowing Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas to stamp on the gas pedal for around 10% more per lap.
