A lot of people forget that this car was in a real dogfight all season with the Ferrari - just as the W08 was in 2017.

It might just be me, but that is the most beautiful car Mercedes has shown so far. Not because of the design, but because of it's condition. The dirt and damaged air intake make it look like a real car, not a museum piece.

Plot twist: Mercedes released this to commemorate their 8th constructors

W09 and Lewis hamilton made the most perfect lap in 2018 in Singapore where Mercedes wasn't the favourite. Well done Lewis well done Mercedes AMG F1

That iconic pole lap at Singapore was the highlight of the season for Mercedes in 2018 imo

Monza 2018 was the first full F1 race I watched, followed by Singapore, I've been hooked ever since. Singapore under the lights is still one of my favourite tracks.

This is the car in which Lewis did his out-of-this-world Singapore 2018 pole lap!

I know it's not the most dominant Mercedes, but the W09 is definitely my favourite. The teal, the carbon halo and the red 44 😍

This car ended the debate about "The car vs The driver". Lewis fought and won that year's championship with purely his skill and intelligent. Any other driver would have lost the championship battle against Vettel. That Ferrari was equal if not faster yet couldn't help Vettel. You need good driver to win races but you need great driver to win championship.

2018 French GP: The first race that I attented with my father, and we saw Lewis winning the race. Only 30km close to our home, lots of memories !

This year hamilton should have gold numbers, if he wants the 44 there should be something to recognise that he’s the defending champ 👍🏻

This is what I love to the channel they are sharing the history of each car they made

[TheSerravista]

Is it just me who loved 2018, all the cars looked beautiful and It was a fantastic season!

[Ax_K]

I liked these 4 green-blue lines on the side of the car and now I like them even more because there is a meaning to them. They represent the 4 championships that are won by Mercedes!

[galois.]

Least dominant Mercedes in the hybrid era. Arguably the only car that wasn’t the fastest overall

Can't wait for the W10, such a beauty, probably my favourite f1 car

[shreeshashastry]

I love this series!! Thanks Mercedes for this awesome awesome series 🤍🖤

[akintokunboakinremi]

Just finished watching Mercedes origins on the F1 channel. Perfect. 👌

[hamza-chaudhry]

I think that F1 cars look way better with the halo

[forzabrendan]

There was something about this car, that makes it my favourite Mercedes along with the 2014 car.
