How YOU can drive Hamilton's 2017 title-winning Mercedes
Fancy yourself to follow in the footsteps of Lewis Hamilton or Valtteri Bottas as the next Mercedes star? Well now you can test yourself behind the wheel of the Silver Arrows' 2017 double title-winning car after it was included in the video game Gran Turismo.
The Mercedes W08 won 12 of the 20 races across the 2017 season, with Lewis Hamilton taking nine of those en route to securing a fourth world drivers' title at the expense of Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel and team-mate Bottas.
As has become typical of the Silver Arrow in the hybrid V6 era, last year's car was a mighty qualifier, earning Saturday honours 14 times across the campaign.
According to Hamilton, the virtual version of the car "feels just like the real thing", which is sure to excite any budding motorsport stars of the future.
