Mercedes F1 Star George Russell Spends Millions on Supercar Owned by Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 driver George Russell has taken his passion for performance to a new level by purchasing one of the world’s rarest and most advanced hypercars — the Mercedes-AMG ONE. The British racer joins an exclusive group of elite owners, including his teammate and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton.
The AMG ONE, which costs approximately $2.7 million, is a limited-edition marvel with only 275 units produced worldwide. What sets this car apart is its deep connection to Formula 1. Built with actual F1-derived technology, including a 1.6-liter V6 hybrid engine and four electric motors, the car generates a staggering 1,049 horsepower.
This hybrid powertrain allows the AMG ONE to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.9 seconds, with a top speed exceeding 219 mph. It’s not just a street car—it’s essentially a Formula 1 machine adapted for road use.
George Russell has long admired the AMG ONE. In a previous interview, he described it as his “dream car,” expressing excitement about its engineering and technology. Now, that dream has become a reality.
Russell recently showed off the hypercar in a private track session alongside Hamilton at Mercedes-Benz’s testing grounds in Immendingen, Germany. The two drivers pushed the AMG ONE to its limits, performing high-speed slalom maneuvers and drag races, thrilling fans with a rare look at the car in action.
“It’s mind-blowing to drive something with actual Formula 1 tech on normal roads,” said Russell. “The responsiveness, the handling, the sound—it’s all unlike anything else out there.”
Lewis Hamilton was one of the first to receive the AMG ONE when production began. He reportedly owns two of them—one for himself and one gifted to his father, Anthony Hamilton. Seeing both Mercedes drivers now among the few owners of this futuristic vehicle highlights their deep ties to the brand and their appreciation for high-performance automotive engineering.
Aside from the AMG ONE, Russell’s car collection already includes several high-end Mercedes models such as the AMG GT S Coupe, AMG C63, and AMG G 63. His growing fleet reflects both his rising success in Formula 1 and his personal love for cars.
Mercedes-AMG spent years developing the AMG ONE, overcoming major engineering hurdles to make an F1 engine compliant with road regulations. The result is not just a car, but a symbol of innovation, speed, and exclusivity.
With both Russell and Hamilton now owning the AMG ONE, the car also serves as a shared symbol of their Mercedes journey. While the two compete fiercely on the track, this shared enthusiasm for cutting-edge performance cars shows a different side of their relationship—one rooted in respect, admiration, and shared passion.
As George Russell continues to rise through the F1 ranks, his new AMG ONE stands as both a reward for his accomplishments and a representation of his future ambitions. It’s a powerful reminder that, both on and off the track, he’s racing toward greatness.
