Mercedes launches fan competition for 2017 F1 car launch

Mercedes has started a fan competition in which the winner will get the opportunity to attend the launch of their 2017-spec Formula One challenger.

The reigning Constructors’ champions will unveil their latest charger in Silverstone on Thursday 23rd February, with the W08 completing a shakedown at the British Grand Prix venue as well.

The VIP access offered by Mercedes also includes a meet and greet with the team’s drivers. While triple world champion Lewis Hamilton is sure to be there, the identity of his team-mate remains unknown at the moment, though all signs point towards Williams’ Valtteri Bottas.

More information on the Mercedes' Facebook draw prize can be found on the team’s official website.
