Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+ - Hamilton

Sold Out

Mercedes AMG’s contender for the 2019 season, the W10 EQ Power+ had the unenviable task of continuing Mercedes’ supremacy in the hybrid era of Formula 1. Driven by Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, in their seventh and third seasons with the team respectively, the W10 dominated the season, powering Mercedes to their sixth consecutive Constructors’ Championship win, becoming only the second team in Formula 1 history to achieve this. Hamilton also took his sixth Drivers’ title, establishing himself out as the second most successful F1 driver of all time, behind only Michael Schumacher. The sheer ascendancy of the W10 was preposterous, so much so that the Constructors’ Championship title was essentially decided in the first half of the season. It took until the sixth race in Monaco for a rival to stop the team from gaining a 1-2 victory, setting a record for consecutive 1-2 finishes in the process, and it wasn’t until Austria, nine races into the season, that another driver other than Hamilton or Bottas finished on the top step of the podium. Though not even the team’s most dominant season in history, the team still scored 15 victories out of a possible 21 and earned a win percentage of 71.4%.

Development of the W10 began at the end of the 2017 season and, over the course of the 2018 season, even whilst Mercedes were still in the midst of an exciting and challenging Championship fight, more engineers at Brixworth and Brackley were assigned to the project. In fact, in the chassis team, more than half of the engineers in the Design Office were working on the W10 by the summer break. By October, when the team were wrapping up the Championship, the whole factory was working flat out, designing and producing parts of the future contender.

Compared to its predecessor, the W10 changed substantially. The majority of those modifications were driven by the significant changes to the Technical Regulations for the 2019 Formula One season. In addition to dealing with the changes to the aerodynamic regulations, which were the main focus in the development of the W10, the team worked hard on the suspension and aerodynamic characteristics to deliver a car with improved handling that would be much kinder to its tyres. Even though the minimum weight limit was lifted by 10kg for 2019, weight reduction remained a real challenge. Components that were stripped to the bone in 2018 were taken, one by one, and subjected to a further round of aggressive analysis to shave further weight from them. Collectively, this added up to a handful of kilos that were invested back in the car on aerodynamics, suspension and Power Unit to bring performance.

Overall, the W10 earned 15 wins, 17 further podiums, 10 pole positions and 9 fastest laps, scoring 739 points and winning Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championship titles.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
  • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
  • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
  • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
