Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport presented its contender for the 2017 Formula One season,  the new F1 W08 EQ Power+.

The all-new F1 W08 EQ Power+ has been designed to maximize the performance opportunities offered by radically different aerodynamic regulations for the 2017 season which will probably see the new cars become the quickest in the history of the sport – while leaving sufficient scope for an in-season development rate expected to be among the fastest ever in Formula One.

The M08 EQ Power+ is the fourth iteration of the Turbo Hybrid generation of Power Units and has been conceived to withstand significantly increased physical loads and a more severe duty cycle under the new rules, while also maximizing potential performance developments.

New car livery includes electric blue visual signature to denote Hybrid powertrain

“Excitement is the dominant feeling in the team right now” - Toto Wolff.

“It’s inspiring how everybody in the team is pushing harder than ever” - Lewis Hamilton.

“I feel well prepared in such a short time – but the learning curve is still steep” - Valtteri Bottas:
