George is driving for the top team, Mercedes. Albon is a Williams Racing driver, which is their independent customer team.Β
Most of the Mercedes drivers came from Williams, and George Russell also debuted for the Williams team. So the two teams are very close to each other, and so are the drivers. Russell, who is very fond of supercars, is enjoying his new AMG.Β
This new Mercedes AMG-ONE is the factory-designed Hypercar derived from Formula 1. It has a $ 5.45 million price tag. The car has a futuristic design, and it's a head-turner. Alex Albon was also very impressed with the car, and Russell took Albon for a spin in Monte Carlo.

The car also had a 63 decal on its sides, which is Russell's Formula 1 number. The video was shared by Monaco One, and the two went along the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. The AMG one is a unique car that is very rare to see. The car was initially launched at a price of 2.3 million, and the value of the car has now increased to 5 million.Β
It is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged hybrid engine, which is the same as the Formula 1 car. This is the same championship-winning engine featured in Mercedes F1 cars driven by Lewis Hamilton from 2014 to 2020. It has a massive 1063 BHP power with an advanced DRS system and Strat 2 mode.Β
This mode brings the car into a qualifying mode where the settings of an F1 car will be at their peak to extract maximum performance. This is a piece of art, and the collectors are now chasing after that. But fortunately, George Russell has one, and he enjoys driving the car around the city of Monte Carlo.
