Mercedes reveal how an F1 car is made, fan tries to bump in ‘Valtteri, it’s James’ joke

Mercedes will be revealing their 2019 challenger on 13th of February through a social media event.

There has been a lot of hype around car livery launches this year, keeping in mind the new aerodynamic regulations, which could potentially shake up the F1 grid.

Wolff has addressed that potential shake up, but in all probability, Mercedes should be able to maintain their dominance at the helm of the sport.

Ferrari would be hopeful that the personnel change in the team can help them pose a better challenge this season.

Now, while we’ll have to wait until Barcelona testing before we can form any sort of opinion on which could be the strongest car this season, we can of course educate ourselves about the journey of making an F1 car.

And Mercedes have come to our rescue, putting up a video to explain the entire process.

Check out the video(James Allison explains the entire process).

Now, while a lot of fans would have been intrigued by the video and how an F1 car’s journey looks like, there was this one fan, who wanted to indulge in a little, ‘Valtteri, it’s James banter).

The phrase came into being during the Russian GP, when Mercedes strategist, James Vowles asked Valtteri to make way for Lewis Hamilton. Vowles was heard on the radio saying, ‘Valtteri, it’s James’ and since then the statement has been transformed into a meme.

The fan tried to leverage that to get some ‘brownie points’, but ended up confusing the two James at Mercedes. And Mercedes were quick to point that out and turn the joke on the fan.

How excited are you for the W10?
