Mercedes-AMG is dominating Formula One at the moment because while everyone else was still focusing on the old screaming V8 engines, it was beavering away with hybrid turbo V6s. So, when the rules changed, their car had more poke, and started to win. A lot. And everyone"s been catching up since.So this is an oddity, then: a Mercedes F1 car that wasn"t actually a championship dominator. This W04 F1 racer from 2013 is up for sale, but this chassis only" won the Hungarian GP, with Lewis Hamilton at the wheel. So by AMG standards, it"s sort of the underachiever of the family. Only five podium finishes in a season? Tsk. So, you probably won"t mind that it is price-upon-application only
