You are looking at a Verstappenshop.nl exclusive of the 1:43 Red Bull-Honda RB16B diecast model of newly crowned Four-Time Formula 1 World Champion and third in the F1 all-time winners list Max Verstappen - made by resin and diecast German model manufacturer Minichamps (Product Code: 413 212533) The 2021 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort was Formula 1's first venture in the Netherlands since it last ran a race there in 1985, in which the late Three-Time Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda claimed the last F1 victory of his career. On the back of "winning" the non-event that was the 2021 Belgian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen continued his post summer break bounceback by completing a near clean sweep at his home event. Starting from pole, he led almost the entire race to bag a second win in a row, and turned a three point deficit into a three point lead over his title rival Sir Lewis Hamilton. In winning the event, Max became the first Dutch driver in history to win at his home event, and would end the season as the first Dutch driver to win a Formula 1 World Championship. On 23rd November 2024, Max claimed a fourth F1 title at the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix in Nevada, equaliing the records of Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel. He is third in the all-time F1 winners list with 62 wins in his career. The model features Max's Red Bull-Honda RB16B as it raced in the 2021 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, where he claimed a first home victory. It is #69 in the Max Verstappen Collection from his personal webshop and is a limited edition of 3,333 pieces worldwide. It shows Max's special Dutch themed helmet from that race, and also comes complete with a unique item, a 1st place Heineken trophy made from recycled material, which was handed out to Max after he won the race. The model, lid and trophy are all in perfect condition, and the lid comes with a cellophane sleeve. Thanks for looking :)
