The Mercedes-AMG One is the most street-legal F1 car you can find.
Upon release in 2022, the AMG One wowed the car world.
In recent days, F1 star George Russell has added a Mercedes-AMG One to his personal collection in Monaco.
And it has turned almost every single head in Monaco in the process.

Mercedes-AMG One is a road-going F1 car
In case you are unaware, the Mercedes-AMG One is a truly extraordinary sports car.
First unveiled in June 2022, the AMG-One entirely shares its DNA with the world of F1.
The extremely highly-tuned, 1.6 liter turbocharged V6 is a modified version of the F1 powerplant.
This engine is so highly tuned and refined that it has to have a full refurbishment after 50,000 miles.
If that wasn’t enough, the marque’s F1 road-car comes with four electric motors working in tandem.
One of the motors is coupled to the crankshaft, whilst another is strapped to the turbocharger.
The remaining two electric motors find themselves placed at the front axle of the Mercedes-AMG One.
All of this impressive setup adds up to a power output of 1,063bhp.
George Russell turns heads in Monaco with AMG-One
Now, as you might imagine, a car of such stature is bound to turn more than a few heads.
When you combine said car with being owned by one of F1s biggest stars, then that becomes even bigger.
Yesterday, Russell was spotted out and about in the streets of Monaco.
Admittedly, an F1 driver hanging out in Monaco is hardly an out of place concept.
We’ve seen Lando Norris, Carlos Sainz and Charles LeClerc frequent the streets of Monaco before.
However, British driver Russell might have just upstaged all of them.
This is because he was spotted driving a Mercedes-AMG One.
Before you ask, this is, indeed, Russell’s car – because it also has his number on the side.
We have to say, it’s extremely cool to see the Mercedes-AMG One in the wild.
