The W17 is the latest single-seater developed by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team for the new technical regulations introduced for the 2026 season. The car was engineered around the revised aerodynamic rules, active aero systems and the next-generation power unit, which carries a far greater share of electrical energy than its predecessor. Mercedes has long combined its works racing programme with its high-performance road car division, and the W17 continues a chassis lineage that includes multiple constructors’ championships through the previous regulation cycles. The team’s technical partnership with PETRONAS for fuel and lubricants remains central to the project. The W17 marked a significant reset for the wider Formula 1 grid, with every team starting from a clean sheet under the new ruleset.

At the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, held at the Shanghai International Circuit, the W17 ran to victory in the hands of Andrea Kimi Antonelli, the young Italian driver promoted to the senior Mercedes seat. The race was contested against the full 2026 grid, including the Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Aston Martin entries running their own interpretations of the new regulations. The result represented an early-season highlight for both driver and team under the revised technical formula.

Understanding Scale

The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
