With only a little over a month to go until the first race of the 2018 FIA Formula One season, Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport today took the wraps off the all new Mercedes-AMG #F1w09eqpower
 
Team partners, guests and media joined the team for the reveal show at #silverstone, while Mercedes fans around the world took part in the action and watched the unveiling of the new #F1 challenger live online. For one fan in particular, shakedown day turned out to be a once in a lifetime experience. Having won the team's launch contest, he and his stepdaughter were invited for a VIP experience on-site at #silverstone. The main reveal show paid tribute to Mercedes' long motorsport history, featuring emotional footage of some of the team's most painful defeats and most thrilling victories. 
 
As the most advanced machine ever conceived by Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, the 2018 car aims to write its own chapter in that long #racing heritage while at the same time pushing the technological boundaries of motorsport. The #F1w09eqpower is improved in every area over its predecessor and will become the fastest Mercedes Formula One car in history. 
 
Christened Mercedes-AMG #F1w09eqpower, the new car proudly carries the "EQ Power+" designation which was launched to the world on last year's car. As part of the naming strategy of Mercedes-AMG, "EQ Power+" stands for the brand's future performance hybrid models. The Formula One team is proud to have led the way that was followed by the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE show car revealed in Frankfurt last year. The EQ Power+ designation places the #F1 car and its state-of-the-art hybrid power unit at the forefront of the future Mercedes-AMG line-up, showcasing how #F1 technology is accelerating the future of motor #racing and #automotive technology in general. 
 
The launch was part of the team's official 100 km filming day, during which the #F1w09eqpower completed its first laps of Silverstone's 2.98 km International Circuit with #valtteribottas behind the wheel. Lewis Hamilton's run in the car is scheduled for the early afternoon.
