You are looking at a CK Modelcars and Paddock Legends 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 210133) After suffering a narrow defeat at the hands of Sir Lewis Hamilton at the season-opening 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix, Max Verstappen bounced back in style at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, the second round of the season. Qualifying only P3 in the dry, Max made a sublime start to lead both poleman Hamilton and teammate Sergio Perez into turn 1, and from there never looked back, charging ahead in the wet to dry race to claim what would turn out to be the first of ten victories in 2021, en route to his maiden Formula 1 World Championship crown in a season filled with excitement, tense wheel to wheel combats with Sir Lewis, and some highly controversial flashpoints. 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 to victory at the 2021 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. It is a CK Modelcars and Paddock Legends exclusive to the two German model retailers and is limited to 444 pieces worldwide. It comes with the soft tyres on the car for when the track started to dry later in the Grand Prix, unlike the Verstappen shop exclusive which comes with Intermediates as it started the race in the wet. The model and lid are both in brand new condition and comes with a cellophane sleeve. Thanks for looking :)
