Carrera DIGITAL 132 Mercedes-Benz F1 W08 'Valtteri Bottas'
Item No.: 30841
The two Formula 1 Mercedes W08s with the article numbers 30840 (Lewis Hamilton) and 30841 (Valtteri Bottas) are the two world championship cars of the 2017 season.
With these cars, Mercedes-Benz won the Constructors' World Championship for the fourth time in a row after a thrilling season, and Lewis Hamilton secured his fourth Drivers' title. Valtteri Bottas, Mercedes' new signing from Finland, finished third in the Drivers' Championship behind Sebastian Vettel in Ferrari. He will remain with the Swabians for the 2018 season, as will his teammate Hamilton.
The two Mercedes have repeatedly proven that the best vehicles currently come from Germany.
As in previous years, the W08 features a silver-cyan livery, silver in reference to the old Mercedes Silver Arrows, and cyan for main sponsor PETRONAS. The car featured the newly developed Mercedes-AMG F1 M08 EQ Power, the fourth development stage of the hybrid engine first used in 2014. The engine produces over 700 hp (no team has disclosed exact figures), weighs 733 kg, and has a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic monocoque.
Let’s get to the slot racers:
The handling is typical of small-scale Formula 1: fast and relatively hectic. The cars are very narrow, which gives them their own driving characteristics. I wouldn't want to drive them without magnets, even though the smooth tires offer sufficient grip. They're a real asset to the racetrack: something for a quick spin, and of course, for the numerous Formula 1 fans.
Best regards
