Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team W17 George Russell Winner 2026 Australian GP in 1:18 scale
At the 2026 Australian Grand Prix, George Russell delivered a standout performance to win the season opener in the Mercedes-AMG F1 W17 for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team. Russell, known for his precision, consistency, and strong qualifying ability, executed a controlled race at Albert Park, managing tire strategy and pace perfectly to secure victory in Formula 1’s new technical era.
What set the W17 apart from other race cars was its next-generation 2026 hybrid power unit combined with active aerodynamic systems that continuously adjust for maximum efficiency and downforce balance. This made the car especially strong in both high-speed sections and tire management over long stints. Paired with Mercedes’ refined chassis engineering and distinctive silver-and-turquoise livery, the W17 proved to be one of the most complete and technically advanced packages on the 2026 grid.
