Piloted by Scuderia Ferrari’s youngest driver line-up since 1968, the SF21 was Ferrari’s competitor for the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season. In the hands of Monegasque racer Charles Leclerc and Spaniard Carlos Sainz, who between them averaged just 25 years and 3 days old at the first race of the season, the SF21 earned almost two and a half times as many points as the team scored in 2020. The 67th single seater to originate from Maranello, the SF21 was a direct evolution of the previous year’s SF1000 chassis, as dictated by the new regulations after the COVID-19 pandemic prompted teams to agree to a series of cost-reducing measures in 2020, including a postponement of the new regulations until 2022 and a majority freeze of the current rules, thus limiting the opportunities for change in many areas.
Teams were permitted to use two development tokens for major upgrades, which Ferrari chose to focus at the tail end of the car, developing a new gearbox and rear suspension system. This, in addition to the unrestricted development on engines over the winter, led to a much tighter rear end over the previous SF1000. The engineers were able to completely reinvent the layout of the SF21’s 065/6 1600cc V6 power unit, increasing its level of thermal efficiency and optimising the hybrid system and its electronics. Meanwhile, work outside aerodynamic development could still progress, allowing the team to make some minor changes to the rest of the car. Improvements were made to the cooling system, increasing the effectiveness of the central radiator, and the body was revised to create higher downwash. The SF21 also featured a revised front wing and new concept nose, while the team also updated the car's transmission.
The SF21’s livery was also subtly updated, blending two shades of red for the 2021 car. At the rear was the burgundy red seen on the SF1000 at Ferrari’s 1000th Grand Prix, reminiscent of the burgundy red of the very first Ferrari, the 125 S. Further forward, it transformed into the modern Ferrari red that has adorned Ferraris in more recent years. Visually, the colours sought to point towards the challenges of the future, while not forgetting Ferrari’s unique roots and history.
The SF21 was a strong performer as Ferrari looked to bounce back after a hugely disappointing 2020 season. Sainz claimed an impressive four podiums throughout his debut season with the Scuderia, taking second position at the Monaco Grand Prix and third in Hungary, Russia and Abu Dhabi. Leclerc was the closest of the duo to winning a race in 2021, being overtaken by a charging Lewis Hamilton just two laps from the end of the British Grand Prix, instead earning his sole podium of the year. Despite close rivals McLaren’s strong performances, the cool consistency of the SF21 and its driver duo saw Ferrari finish nigh on 50 points above the British team to convincingly take third in the Constructors’ Championship. Sainz and Leclerc only failed to finish in the top ten on six occasions between them whilst, as a team, Ferrari only failed to record points at one of the 22 races, at the French Grand Prix. The SF21 recorded just one retirement, which was due to a collision at the Hungarian Grand Prix, and one non-start: Leclerc’s car suffered driveshaft damage from crashing at the end of a tense qualifying session at the Monaco Grand Prix in Monaco. He initially claimed pole position, though sadly was unable to begin his home race.
Overall, the Ferrari SF21 earned five podiums, two fastest laps and scored 323.5 points, achieving third place in the Constructors’ Championship. Sainz and Leclerc recorded 164.5 and 159 points, earning fifth and seventh places in the Drivers’ Championships respectively.
This fine 1:18 scale model of the Ferrari SF21, as raced during the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Scuderia Ferrari regarding original CAD data, finishes and paint codes. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

Ferrari’s competitor for the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship season, the SF-23 is Maranello’s spearhead for their mission to propel themselves back into title contention. In the hands of Monegasque racer Charles Leclerc and Spaniard Carlos Sainz, in their fifth and third seasons respectively with the team, the SF-23 will be looking to continue the Scuderia’s progress in the Constructors’ Championship after claiming four wins and finishing second in the standings during the 2022 season.
Whilst the SF-23 is officially an evolution of the previous season’s F1-75, which is no surprise as the team’s 2022 entrant claimed a season-high 12 pole positions, underneath the surface much of the car has been completely redesigned. The SF-23’s features increased vertical downforce in order to recover overall downforce lost to the season’s updated aero regulations and achieve the desired balance characteristics for the drivers. The suspension has also been redesigned, to support aerodynamics and increase the range of adjustments that can be made to the car at the track. The most obvious changes are in the area of the front suspension: low track rods, a revised front wing and nose construction. The bodywork was also updated, with slimmer sidepods. One of the F1-75’s biggest faults during 2022 was the reliability of its power unit, so much of the SF-23’s development over winter months focused on making the internal combustion engine and electric motors more robust, to handle a more aggressive setup and eliminate the weaknesses of the power unit.

Built to retain Oracle Red Bull Racing both the World Drivers’ and World Constructors’ titles for the first time in a decade, the RB19 is Milton Keynes’ competitor for the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship. Driven by the reigning World Champion Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez, teammates for the third consecutive season, the RB19 is already on the march to another title double, with Oracle Red Bull Racing scoring more than twice the points of their closest competitors.
The RB19 is an evolution of the dominant RB18 that won seventeen of the twenty-two races in the previous season. Designed by Chief Technical Officer Adrian Newey, there were already several unique features on the RB18 which have been retained by the RB19, notably the greater curvature of its tunnel roof and the extreme angle of its front suspension’s anti-dive geometry. The 2023 season car has also retained the extreme angle of anti-dive in the front suspension, as well as having increased levels of anti-squat in the rear suspension, achieved by mounting the rearmost top wishbone link even higher than before, to a structure above that of the gearbox to which it was previously attached. Those three features – the curved tunnel roof, the extreme anti-dive front and anti-squat rear suspensions – and the way they all work in conjunction, are likely very closely linked to the team’s great performance in the new era of regulations. The RB19 is also gaining significant advantages when using DRS, even more so than its predecessor.
As of the summer break, the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB19 has won all twelve races it has competed in, with a further seven podiums, nine pole positions and eight fastest laps, scoring 503 World Championship points. Max Verstappen has won ten of those races, finishing second only to Sergio Pérez in the other two races. The RB19 is already the most dominant car in Formula 1 history playing a key role in the Oracle Red Bull Racing’s record-setting thirteenth consecutive win at the Belgian Grand Prix, breaking McLaren’s twelve race winning streak in since 1988.
This fine 1:18 scale model is of the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB19 as raced by Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez during the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship. This model has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops utilising the original CAD data, finishes and paint codes supplied directly by Oracle Red Bull Racing. The completed prototype has undergone detailed scrutiny at the hands of the Oracle Red Bull Racing’s design and engineering departments to ensure complete accuracy of representation.
