Then the title of this article has misled me. The title of the specifically states LH's car is coming, (not a car that is based off of it).
It appears to be a bold prediction, based on the profile and the leaked screens showing some of the detailing, which is exactly like the launch spec W08.
 
It is going to look exactly like the W08 based on the pictures but whether it is called that and comes in full livery or just a plain colour cannot, I think, be determined at the moment. I am certain that it can't be said whether it is Botta's car or Hamilton's. The only inidcation that it might be Hamilton's is his involvement already in GTS.

Will be nice if it is last year's car.

One of the first things I'll be doing with it is firing up the VR and taking a detailed look around.

Unfortunately I think that's where the fun will end.


The handling on F1 2017 is fantastic and on GTS won't come a tiny bit close.

Will be great for hotlapping but on a grid full I think will be an SR destroyer of biblical proportions....Think 1st lap 1st chicane at Monza!!
 
Great Addition! I cant wait to put a Ferrari or Red Bull livery on it though! :lol:
Hopefully this will attract a whole lot of new players to GT sport!
 
I will most likely be by myself on this ,but I really don't care about it .If I wanted to have F1 cars then I would be playing maybe a different game.But this doesn't blow my skirt up.I rather have something different. I know im gonna get a lot of flak on this , so be it.
 
I kinda get where you're coming from but its not like as if F1 cars are alien to GT.

GT5 had two. Having a one or a few in GT or Forza is fine to me as something different.

I'm not super interested in a whole field of Nascars in GT but that too has been in both games.
 
I would die to see the #keepfightingmichael message.

Also maybe we can expect a new guide video with this addition, like the Nurburgring one.

To be honest, I think there's a few current VGTs that have close to F1 performance.

I'm a passing fan of both F1 and Indycar as I do like open wheelers in part but again, not enough to actually buy F1 2018.

I just see this whole PD GTS FIA Mercedes AMG Lewis Hamilton lovefest as a forgone conclusion.

I think it's likely that the car will be liveried to be the same as this years. Mercedes have put out demo cars based on last years with this years livery, due to sponsorship. But also doing this would give the cars the driver numbers in the red and blue.
 
Well this is quite something, I'm sure we'll all agree. If only I had any actual time to play the game now.
 
I wonder if we’ll be able to put a livery on this one? Not sure if Mercedes would be happy to see it in a Ferrari or Mclaren livery.
