Mercedes W08 EQ Power+
Hamilton’s 2017 title car
The W08 was designed under James Allison and Aldo Costa to a regulation reset that widened cars by 200 mm and increased downforce by ~25%. Mercedes’ PU106D power unit produced 700+ hp.
Hamilton scored 363 points to Sebastian Vettel’s 317; Mercedes won 12 of 20 races. Bottas joined the team for 2017 and took three race wins. The W08 cemented the Mercedes turbo-hybrid era — the team won every constructors’ title from 2014 to 2021.
