Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes AMG Petronas W13 E Performance reproduces L. Hamilton's #44 car from the 2022 Formula 1 season. This replica captures the first year of F1's ground-effect regulation era, finished in the team's works livery with fine diecast detail.
About the Mercedes AMG Petronas W13 E Performance #44 L. Hamilton 2022 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Mercedes AMG Petronas W13 reproduces L. Hamilton's #44 car from the 2022 Formula 1 season, the year the sport switched to ground-effect aerodynamics. This diecast captures the new regulation era's distinct sidepod and floor shapes in fine detail.
2022 brought F1's biggest aerodynamic rule change in years, replacing complex bargeboards with ground-effect floors and simplified bodywork, and the W13 wore that new philosophy visibly.
Casting a New Aerodynamic Regulation Era
The W13's redesigned sidepods and floor edges look noticeably different from the previous generation's bargeboard-heavy bodywork, and Minichamps' diecast renders those new surfaces with clean, uncluttered panel lines that suit the simpler regulation shape. The zinc alloy body carries the expected weight for the scale, and separately fitted components, including the front wing, mirrors and halo, add a layer of realism beyond what a single moulded shell could achieve. Sponsor graphics sit crisply against the silver-and-black livery, printed without bleed across the compound curves of the nose and sidepod inlets. Wheels carry the season's tyre markings, and the rear wing endplates reproduce the narrower, ground-effect-era profile distinct from prior seasons. Interior detail through the cockpit stays functional, consistent with the diecast tier applied across this manufacturer's F1 range generally.
Marking a Regulation Turning Point
For collectors who track F1 by regulation era rather than by driver or team alone, the W13 marks a genuine turning point, and displaying it beside a W12 from the prior season makes the aerodynamic shift immediately visible. At 1:18, the open-wheel silhouette rewards a little breathing room on the shelf, protecting the front wing and mirrors from contact with neighbouring cars. This is a model worth collecting for the regulation story it tells as much as for the driver or season it represents.
