STRAIGHT TALK

ONE OF A KIND • It’s taken over half a decade of development but now the Mercedes-AMG One is here – boasting 1048bhp from a Formula 1-based hybrid powertrain. Can it claim to be the ultimate hypercar?

AIN’T NO STOPPING HIM NOW • Max Verstappen’s march to title number two was slow to get into gear but soon became unstoppable. But was it as easy as the litany of late-season wins made it look, or did Max and Red Bull deliver a season-long masterclass at the wheel – and in the factory – to create an F1 juggernaut?

“THE MOST IMPORTANT THING… IS TO BE AUTHENTIC” • The death of Dietrich Mateschitz has not only deprived Red Bull of its visionary founder, it has shorn Formula 1 of one of its greatest, most influential benefactors.

NEVER GIVE UP ON A GOOD THING • Nyck de Vries had almost given up on his dream of racing in Formula 1 when he got the call-up to stand in for Alex Albon at this year’s Italian Grand Prix. But how pivotal was that in getting him a full-time ride with AlphaTauri next season?

BRABHAM BT60 • While it launched the F1 career of a future world champion, the BT60 was also the final nail in the coffin of a once-great marque
