VIDEO: Mercedes give blind F1 fan unforgettable experience

VIDEO: Mercedes give blind F1 fan unforgettable experience

We all know Mercedes as the dominant force on-track in Formula 1 today, but the Silver Arrows certainly have a softer side too!

The team gave F1 fan Andrew Walker an unforgettable experience over the course of the Canadian GP.

Andrew has been blind for more than 20 years, but remembers F1 cars from days gone by - his favourite being Williams' famous 'red five' FW14B driven by Nigel Mansell.

Mercedes gave Andrew the chance to compare the cars of old with those of today, which he has never seen, as well as spend time with the team as Lewis Hamilton won in Montreal.

Get some tissues handy, it's going to get emotional!
