About the McLaren MCL36 #3 D. Ricciardo Abu Dhabi GP 2022 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin reproduces the McLaren MCL36, car #3 for Daniel Ricciardo at the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his final race weekend for the team before his exit from a full-time seat. The sealed body carries McLaren's papaya livery in fine, hand-finished resin detail.

Some race entries mark endings rather than milestones, and Ricciardo's Abu Dhabi weekend in 2022 closed a chapter that had started with such promise two years earlier.

The MCL36 and Ricciardo's Final McLaren Race

A Difficult Season's Concluding Weekend

Ricciardo's two seasons at McLaren never quite matched the form he had shown earlier in his career, and by the end of 2022 the team had already confirmed his departure ahead of the season's close. Abu Dhabi therefore carried the weight of a farewell rather than an ordinary end-of-year round.

A Popular Driver's Send-Off

Ricciardo's popularity with fans meant this final McLaren outing drew particular attention regardless of the result, a reminder that some race entries matter for what they represent rather than the championship points involved.

Resin Construction for a 2022-Season Livery

This model has no opening panels, cast as a sealed one-piece resin body, and McLaren's papaya orange demands a genuinely consistent surface to avoid patchy gloss across the car's heavily sculpted sidepods and floor edges, a consistency resin's tighter casting tolerance delivers more reliably than a pressure-cast alternative on such compound curves. The MCL36's narrow sidepod inlets and complex underfloor detailing hold sharp, well-defined edges, and sponsor branding specific to the 2022 season is applied by tampo print across the nose and engine cover, registering cleanly against the contoured bodywork. The halo, cockpit surround and front wing elements are finished with the same care as the main body, and weight in the hand confirms the resin build, lighter and more consistent in feel than a diecast equivalent, which suits the fine aero surfacing this generation of car depends on.

Closing a Career Chapter on a Shelf

Bookending a Driver's Time With a Team

Paired with Ricciardo's earlier McLaren liveries, this Abu Dhabi car provides the natural closing point of that specific chapter of his career, useful for a collector building a chronological driver run.

Shelf Fit Among Current F1 Cars

At 1:18 the MCL36's wide, low stance groups naturally with other current-generation single-seaters, sitting comfortably beside teammates' cars from the same season.

For a collector following Ricciardo's career across multiple teams, this final McLaren entry is a genuinely significant, well-documented closing piece.
