George Russell has dropped a series of coveted pictures with his new mean machine, the Mercedes AMG. The F1 Mercedes driver called it his “dream car” and revealed that it features a modified engine from one of their earlier F1 cars. So, while the car may be road-legal, it carries the soul of a race car — a fact clearly visible in the stunning pictures shared by Russell as he took the blue beauty out for its first spin. The car is priced at around $2.7 million.
