About the Red Bull Racing RB16 #33 M. Verstappen 3rd Place Styrian GP 2020 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Red Bull RB16 reproduces Max Verstappen's number 33 car from its third-place finish at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix. Tampo-printed sponsor livery and separately fitted wing detailing anchor a Verstappen or Red Bull Ring double-header display at standard Minichamps tier.

2020 gave Formula One one of its strangest openings: two races at the same Austrian circuit, back to back, in front of empty grandstands. This RB16 carries the number Verstappen ran through that unusual start to the season, cast at 1:18 by Minichamps.

Minichamps' 1:18 Diecast RB16 in Styrian Grand Prix Livery

Tampo-Printed Sponsor Detail

Minichamps builds its Formula One diecast around exact livery reproduction, and the RB16's sponsor panels are tampo-printed directly onto the body rather than applied as stickers, which keeps the graphics flat and free of the raised edges that waterslide transfers can show over time. The Styrian Grand Prix specification carries the same sponsor placement Red Bull ran that weekend, with the number 33 clearly registered on the nose and engine cover. Registration across the body's compound curves stays sharp, without the slight blur that lower-tier diecast sometimes shows around the sidepod intakes.

Separately Fitted Wing and Mirror Detail

The front wing endplates and rear wing are fitted as separate, delicate pieces rather than moulded into a single block, which is where a considered Formula One diecast earns its price over a simplified toy-grade casting. Wing mirrors sit correctly proportioned rather than oversized, and the halo structure above the cockpit is rendered as a distinct, thin element rather than a thick, simplified loop. Minichamps' long-standing relationship with Formula One teams shows in these small, easily-missed details holding up under close inspection.

Red Bull Ring's Back-to-Back Races in a Pandemic Season

Two Grands Prix, One Circuit

The 2020 season opened at the Red Bull Ring in Austria with the Austrian Grand Prix, followed a week later by a second race at the same venue rebranded the Styrian Grand Prix, a solution the sport adopted after the pandemic forced the cancellation of races across the usual calendar. Both events ran without spectators, a genuinely unusual backdrop for any Formula One weekend, and the Styrian race gave the sport its first taste of a compressed, repeated-venue calendar that would recur through the disrupted season.

The RB16 in Its First Season

The RB16 was Red Bull Racing's 2020 challenger, run with Honda power in what would prove to be one of the manufacturer's final Formula One seasons before its planned withdrawal, and Verstappen's third-place finish here came early in a year where the car would go on to take multiple race wins. Collecting a mid-season result rather than a headline victory captures a different part of that story, the steady building-block races that shaped the championship rather than only its high points.

Collecting the RB16 Era Before Red Bull's Own Power Unit

The RB16 sits at an interesting point in Red Bull's recent history, the last Honda-powered generation before the team took a very different path with its engines in the years that followed, which gives this livery a specific technical era to represent rather than a generic "modern Red Bull" placeholder. At 1:18, the model gives enough scale to show wing and livery detail clearly, more than a 1:43 equivalent could manage, while staying a manageable size for a shelf built around several Grand Prix cars. Paired with other 2020-season liveries, it helps build a season-specific Red Bull display rather than a scattered mix of unrelated years.
