About the Aston Martin AMR22 #5 S. Vettel Last Race Abu Dhabi GP 2022 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 resin model reproduces Sebastian Vettel's Aston Martin AMR22, car #5, from the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his final race before retiring from Formula 1. Sealed resin construction delivers sharp livery lines for a display-focused F1 model.

Some cars earn their place in a collection through pace, others through the moment they carry. The AMR22 belongs to the second group, tied forever to the weekend Vettel stepped away from the sport.

Resin Construction on the Minichamps Aston Martin AMR22

Minichamps builds this AMR22 in resin rather than diecast, and that choice suits a livery this graphically dense. Sealed construction avoids the panel breaks a diecast body would need for opening parts, so the green paintwork and sponsor detailing run in continuous, unbroken lines across the sidepods and nose. Lifted from its case, the model has the light, dense feel typical of resin rather than the heavier heft of zinc alloy, and that lighter weight is not a shortcoming, since Formula 1 cars have no doors or bonnets to open in the first place. The trade-off is straightforward: no moving parts, but tighter, cleaner reproduction of a wing profile and sidepod contour that a diecast tool would struggle to match at this scale.

Marking Vettel's Final Grand Prix

Vettel's Abu Dhabi weekend in 2022 closed out a Formula 1 career built on four consecutive world titles, and Aston Martin's return that season gave him a mid-grid finish to that story rather than a title fight. Collectors buying this particular car number and race are buying the closing chapter, not a championship-winning livery, and that honesty is part of the appeal. It sits naturally alongside earlier Red Bull-era pieces from the same driver, marking the full arc of a two-decade career on one shelf. The AMR22's stripped-down, business-like green livery reads as a quieter counterpoint to the flamboyant liveries of his title years, a fitting closing note for anyone tracking his career through diecast and resin.
