It’s the fourth consecutive time that Formula 1 Mercedes-AMG Petronas team won the World Championship. An extraordinary result, especially because the challenge was against the only true legend of world circuits: the Ferrari. For this reason, we wanted to celebrate the victory with a tribute to the “Cavallino Rampante” to underline Ferrari greatness in relation to Mercedes-Benz victory because“The value of a victory is to be found in the greatness of the opponent”.

The objective was to engage fans of both teams keeping up their passion for Formula 1, with an ongoing challenge.
