You are looking at a Verstappenshop.nl exclusive of the 1:43 Red Bull Racing-Honda RB18 resin 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: 447 221601). With a second of three F1 titles now in his back pocket and simply racing for fun, Max Verstappen got the jump on Carlos Sainz Jr on the startline at the 2022 United States Grand Prix and controlled the race for the majority of the event. In this race, however, the Dutchman didn't have things all his own way, as a slow stop on Lap 36 saw him fall behind both Sir Lewis Hamilton, and Charles Leclerc. Max fought back, however, passing Leclerc on Lap 39 and then Hamilton on Lap 50 to canter to victory, one that gave Red Bull their first Constructors Championship since 2013 on the weekend that Red Bull GmbH co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz died. 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 RB18 as it ran to net the final of 15 victories from Verstappen's excellent 2022 season at the season-ending 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. It is Edition #111 of the Max Verstappen Collection from his personal webshop Verstappenshop.nl, and is a limited edition, example 346 of just 350 pieces worldwide. The model and lid are both in new condition and comes with a cellophane sleeve. Thanks for looking :)
