Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas played a crucial role in Mercedes’ dominance during the turbo-hybrid era from 2017 to 2021, following Nico Rosberg’s departure in 2016. Joining the Silver Arrows, Bottas contributed significantly to the team’s achievement of five constructors’ championships, before leaving to Alfa Romeo. As a result of his contributions, Bottas has been appropriately recognized.

The Mercedes AMG ONE, an exceptional plug-in hybrid sports car, is available in limited quantities, making it highly sought after. With its exclusive nature, only a select group of eight individuals have the privilege of owning this remarkable vehicle, most of whom are esteemed figures within the Mercedes community. Bottas is latest on the list to own one, as he personally took delivery of the $2.7 Million worth vehicle.

Interestingly, there are only 275 of these beasts ever manufactured. Among the fortunate owners of the Mercedes AMG ONE, Lewis Hamilton stands out as a distinguished individual who has acquired two cars—one for himself and another for his father, Anthony Hamilton.
