About the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 #1 M. Verstappen Winner Bahrain GP 2024 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces Max Verstappen's Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20, winner of the 2024 season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir. Zinc alloy construction and tampo-printed sponsor livery mark the start of a new campaign, continuing the RB-series chronology Minichamps has built race by race since 2022.

Bahrain has opened more Formula 1 seasons than any other circuit in recent memory, and starting 2024 with a win set the tone for the year ahead. This RB20 is the first chapter of that new campaign, cast before the season's full shape had revealed itself.

Opening a New Season at the Sakhir Circuit

Bahrain's Role as the Calendar's Curtain-Raiser

Bahrain's Sakhir circuit has hosted the first round of the Formula 1 calendar in many recent years, giving an opening win outsized attention relative to the points it actually delivers. Teams and drivers arrive with a full off-season of development behind them and no in-season data to compare against, so an opener like this one reads as much as a statement of intent as a result.

The RB20's Continuity from Its Predecessor

The RB20 carried forward the design philosophy that had made the RB19 so dominant the previous year, refined rather than reinvented within the ground-effect regulations both cars were built under. Verstappen's win at the 2024 opener suggested that continuity had paid off again, extending a run of season-opening form that had become something of a pattern for the team by this point.

Minichamps' Detailing on the RB20

Fresh Livery, Familiar Construction

The RB20's sponsor layout differs from the RB19's in small but visible ways, and Minichamps updates the tampo-printed graphics accordingly rather than reusing the previous year's decal sheet on a new chassis shape. The build method carries over unchanged: a zinc alloy tub, separately fitted aero elements, and a halo moulded with enough definition to read correctly from a normal viewing distance on a shelf.

Weight, Wheels and Wing Detail

Picked up out of its case, the model has the same reassuring density that marks out the RB-series range from lighter promotional castings, and the front wing endplates and barge boards keep their fine edges rather than rounding off under the paint layer. The wheels carry accurate tyre-compound markings for the Bahrain weekend, and a light dusting rather than a wet wipe keeps the rim detail and decals from picking up scratches over time.

Starting a New Season Shelf

An opening-round winner makes a natural anchor for a new season display, the piece a collector adds first before filling in later rounds as Minichamps releases them through the year. Set next to a 2023 finale car, it also marks the handover between one championship-winning chassis and the next, useful for anyone tracking Red Bull's run of titles chassis by chassis rather than season by season. Priced in line with the rest of the mid-tier F1 diecast range, it is an accessible way to start that new shelf.
