This is arguably my favourite car in my collection. Probably one of, if not the most memorable car from my childhood, the white and neon yellow/green (still not sure what colour it is!) stands out so much and Brawn GP is still what comes to mind when I see it. Although Lando Norris is trying his best to change that! What a driver Jenson was, I’m so happy that in 2009 he finally got a competitive car to show the world what a talented driver he was 🇬🇧🏆

My colleagues in Mexico surprised me with something I couldn't get in the US 😍

Here’s a McDonald’s concept that was exclusive to Brazil in 2025. The biggest visible change is the ‘M’ sitting on top of the halo.

Just got my Italian GP F1-2000 from GP replicas. I know they are hit and miss according to the community, but I’ve only ever had great experiences with their models and this is no exception. It was a restock of the model that sold out last year sometime, and looks like GP replicas have taken our feedback to make the model much much better.

The updated wheels look way better than the chrome ones (which looked ridiculous), as well as a seemly lower ride height. In my opinion the car looks great and I couldn’t be happier!

Soon to add Charles and Lando’s helmets.

Everything started when I went to a hobby shop in Tokyo after the Japan GP weekend this year. I had the option to pick the Minichamps64 MCL39, but I went for the Hotwheels Premium instead, thinking this would just be a one-time purchase anyway.

Got back to my home country🇵🇭, took the packaging off, and immediately got disappointed with the quality. Should’ve picked that Minichamps64 with the driver figure instead. Wasn’t even aware that Spark has a gallery in Tokyo.

Since then, I’ve been hopping from toy store to toy store these past few weeks. Thankfully, some shops here have Bburago, Tarmac works, Mini GT, and Spark.

So far, Spark has easily become my favorite. Absolutely love the grooved inters on the Sauber C45 British GP!

​

This miniature is simply perfect, not falling behind any of the minis like Mini GT, Spark, and Minichamps (of course, those brands are better, but Burago doesn't do anything bad).

In certain details, it surpasses the Spark (like the carbon fiber, suspension bars, and floor).

The miniature is simply amazing, incredibly beautiful in every detail, a great piece to add to your collection.

SORRY, something went wrong with the other pics :-(

Someone asked for more detailed pics (in a different post), so I took some pics real quick (sorry not the HD quality) ;-) Let me know if anyone needs more pics 😜

Hi again guys, so in my spare time I’m putting all my recent buys in my collection (I’m a recent dad so my spare time it’s almost 0 😅🤣)

Today it’s time for this Burago version of the RB19 Las Vegas livery to go finally to the right place.

Finally a full size scale helmet!!

2 more 1/4 size on the way and both caps signed! Just missing the figurine from 2021 world champion car😭

If anyone knows where I can get the figurine from please let me know!

Also managed to get my hands on the tag Verstappen edition a couple years ago!

Got it for $300 usd and pulled the trigger right away.
Second photo is 1:24 MP4/4 model next to it for comparison

And that's all my F1 models, now waiting for Spark to catch up.

You can now pre order the car that max is going to drive at the 24h. It comes whit a figure as well!
