About the Williams FW44 Mercedes #23 A. Albon Bahrain GP 2022 Case Edition Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin FW44 recreates Alex Albon's Williams Mercedes from the 2022 Bahrain Grand Prix season opener, car #23. Supplied as a case edition with dedicated display packaging, it suits collectors building a modern Williams or season-opener grid.
A season opener carries its own weight in a collection, marking a fresh grid before results settle in, and Albon's return to a race seat with Williams in 2022 gave that Bahrain weekend real narrative interest.
Case Edition Presentation of the Williams FW44
The case edition tag matters more than it might first appear. Rather than a plain window box, this FW44 ships in dedicated display packaging designed to double as a shelf-ready case, saving the buyer from sourcing separate storage. Minichamps casts the body in resin, which keeps the FW44's sidepod undercuts and floor edges crisp where a diecast tool would need thicker walls to accommodate opening panels. The Mercedes-supplied power unit era of Williams livery, in this Bahrain colour scheme, benefits from that sharpness, since the sponsor graphics and number 23 roundel sit on tightly moulded surfaces rather than a slightly softened diecast shell.
A Bahrain Season Opener for a Modern Williams Collection
Bahrain traditionally opens the Formula 1 calendar under floodlights, and season-opener liveries often carry a slightly different sheen from the cars raced later once teams refine their aerodynamic packages. Albon's 2022 return to a full-time seat after two years without one gives this particular car added interest for anyone following driver careers rather than just constructors. Displayed next to other Williams-liveried resin pieces, the FW44 anchors a post-2010s chapter for a team whose earlier decades are better represented by diecast from the Group era. It is a modest but honest addition to a modern grid display.
