Minichamps' 1:18 diecast McLaren MCL35M reproduces #3 as raced by Daniel Ricciardo at the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, during his debut season with the team. Diecast construction captures the Mercedes-powered chassis's papaya livery with sharp, consistent detail for a modern F1 collection.
About the McLaren MCL35M #3 D. Ricciardo Monaco GP 2021 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast McLaren MCL35M recreates Daniel Ricciardo's #3 car from the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix, his first season driving for the team. Diecast construction reproduces the papaya livery with sharp panel detail, a solid pickup for a modern Formula 1 collection.
Ricciardo's move to McLaren for 2021 was one of the season's bigger driver-market stories, and Monaco, motorsport's most scrutinised street circuit, is a natural weekend to commemorate from that debut year.
The MCL35M's Papaya Livery in Diecast
McLaren's switch to Mercedes power for the 2021 season, badged as the MCL35M, marked a significant technical shift after years running Renault engines, and the car carried the team's now-signature papaya-orange livery with blue accents throughout. Minichamps' diecast execution reproduces that colour scheme with genuinely tidy panel gaps and consistent tampo-printed sponsor graphics, details that matter enormously on a livery this visually busy. Number 3 sits on the nose and airbox exactly as run at Monaco, a circuit where camera angles from every side make livery accuracy more visible than almost anywhere else on the calendar. The zinc-alloy diecast body gives the model believable weight, distinct from the lighter feel resin single-seaters sometimes carry at this scale.
Monaco as a Collecting Reference Point
Monaco carries outsized weight in Formula 1 history, and a car specifically tied to that weekend benefits from that context even in a season that was still finding its footing for both driver and team. Displayed alongside Ricciardo's earlier Red Bull or Renault liveries, this piece documents the start of a new chapter in his career, useful for anyone building a driver-specific chronology rather than a single-team collection. For McLaren-focused collectors, it also marks the early days of the Mercedes-power era, a useful reference point against later, faster seasons.
