What do you feel is the most appealing element in an F1 race? Some might say the cars, some say the battles on track. However, there are some who attain their daily dose of peace from the sound of the engines and the smell of burned tires. For them, a peek into the Mercedes AMG power unit is heaven on earth.

Mercedes AMG Twitter usually indulges in pranks on their fans and followers. All the admin does is take nasty digs at their Italian competitors and give us false hope about Lewis’ contract extension. Yet, once in a while, they reward us with sensation and emotion redefined.

Another one of these incidents took place yesterday. They took to Twitter and posted a picture of the Mercedes AMG power unit – the beast engine delivering 950-1000 horsepower, the key to the success of Silver Arrows in F1. Well, it is a dream for any fan to lay eyes on that seductive cohesion of engineering and speed. Naturally, Twitter lost it.
