Mercedes-AMG W14 - 2023 Formula One

It's the start of the year, and Formula One teams hace begun their 2024 reveals.

 

Shown here is the 2023 Mercedes-AMG challenger W14 Formula One Racer.

 

Just in time too, for instagram #mocaroundgang #mocaround75 to the build theme #openwheeler

 

For 2023 Formula One racers are continuing with similar regulation to the past couple of years. This includes cars with quite a large footprint from their long wheelbases and wide tracks.

 

The W14 is powered by a 1,600cc V6, with a single turbochager, supplemented by an Electric Hybrid drive and battery.

 

The Mercedes-AMG W14 is characterised by a mostly black bodywork, white sponsor stickers, and a cyan feature stripe.

 

The Mercedes-AMG is featured in the 2024 Lego lineup in Lego Technic form nr 42171 - a somewhat odd choice, given that the 2023 W14 scored no wins, the first time Mercedes has been winless since 2002, despite finishing 2nd in the Constructors Championship, and featuring 7-times Drivers Championship winner, Lewis Hamilton as one of their drivers.

 

Hopefully one of many entries for this month's mocaround challenge, hosted by @paulielego and finishing up on March 16th.
