The W17 pairs Mercedes' Brackley-built chassis with the Mercedes power unit developed at Brixworth. Because Mercedes controls both sides of the package, fans can judge the season through more than straight-line speed: energy deployment, reliability, tyre life and performance across very different circuit types all show how complete the car really is.
George Russell supplies the established race-winning benchmark, while Kimi Antonelli brings the speed and learning curve of one of Mercedes' most closely backed young drivers. Compare their points, wins and every grid-to-finish change below to see where each driver is extracting the W17's strongest results.
Mercedes returned as a works team in 2010 and then defined much of the hybrid era with eight consecutive constructors' championships from 2014 through 2021. That history makes the 2026 reset especially important: every pole, win and double-points finish is judged against one of modern F1's highest benchmarks.
