It seems that the Finn misses driving a machine from the German brand, and bought nothing less than the Formula 1-powered hypercar.

In recent years, Mercedes-AMG has developed the ONE, a hypercar in which it has invested much of its recent and successful experience in Formula 1, such as its hybrid system, key to the dominance that the brand has imposed in the "Maximum" for seven seasons.

Limited to 275 units, the ONE began delivery last January. Among its owners are Lewis Hamilton (who worked on its development) and Nico Rosberg, the two champions of the modern era of Mercedes in F1, and also Valtteri Bottas, representative of the star brand in the category for five championships ( 2017-2021).

It turns out that the Finn has already received the ONE from him, as he disclosed through his social networks. Along with a series of images, in which he is seen posing with the car and testing the driving position, he wrote "The wait is worth it", indicating that he had to wait a long time to get his hands on it.

As can be seen in the photos, the Mercedes-AMG ONE of today's Alfa Romeo driver (has he been told something for showing his new acquisition?) has a different decoration from that of the model presentation, as the blue color predominates , Finnish's favorite key.
