You are looking at a Verstappenshop.nl exclusive of the 1:43 Red Bull Racing-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 211933). Gathering critical momentum after a tight knit victory over title rival Sir Lewis Hamilton at the previous weekend's United States Grand Prix in Texas, Max Verstappen led by 12 points heading into the Mexico City Grand Prix. He lost out on the front row with the Mercedes duo of Hamilton (on pole) and Valtteri Bottas finding huge pace from seemingly nowhere to annex the first two slots on the grid in Qualifying. As soon as the Grand Prix got underway, however, Verstappen undid the hard work of the Silver Arrows by slipstreaming the two Mercedes drivers and leading from an audacious move around the outside into Turn 1, and from there was never headed again. He won the ninth of ten victories in 2021, taking a crucial 19 point advantage going into the final three races of the season. 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 Racing-Honda RB16B as it raced to victory at the 2021 Mexico City Grand Prix. It is Edition #75 of the Max Verstappen Collection from his personal webshop Verstappenshop.nl, and is a limited edition, example 549 of 555 pieces worldwide. The model and lid are both in new condition and comes with a cellophane sleeve. Thanks for looking :)
