Minichamps Red Bull RB20 - 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix - #1 M. Verstappen 1:18

Minichamps 1:18 diecast model of the #1 Red Bull RB20 as driven by Max Verstappen in the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Verstappen certainly hit the ground running at the beginning of the 2024 Formula One world championship, winning seven of the first 10 races. A fourth world title seemed a foregone conclusion, with it only remaining to be seen how many more records he would break. However, the Dutchman would then go the next 10 races without taking a single grand prix victory, with the Sprint Race at Austin his only success. This coincided with a resurgence from McLaren, Lando Norris taking great chunks out of the Red Bull man’s points lead. On the morning of the Brazilian Grand Prix, Max really seemed to be in trouble, lining up 17th on the grid while his key title rival was in pole position. It looked like the battle for the championship was about to be blown wide open. Heavy rain arrived on race day, though, and Verstappen took a dominant win, one of his best, while Norris struggled across the line in sixth place. Suddenly Max was all but assured of the title, and a steady run to fifth place in Las Vegas was enough to wrap up his fourth Formula One world championship; all of them scored consecutively.
