About the Red Bull Racing Tag Heuer RB13 #3 D. Ricciardo 3rd Place Malaysian GP 2017 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces Daniel Ricciardo's number 3 Red Bull Tag Heuer RB13 from a podium-finishing drive at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix, a season that showcased Ricciardo's reputation as one of the grid's most exciting overtakers.
Ricciardo's Red Bull years produced some of the most memorable overtaking drives of the mid-2010s, and this Malaysian Grand Prix podium result captures him mid-career, well before his later moves to other teams.
Minichamps' Detail on the RB13's Complex Bodywork
The RB13, campaigned under the Tag Heuer-badged engine partnership, carried Red Bull's characteristically intricate sidepod and bargeboard detailing, a genuinely demanding subject for any diecast manufacturer working at 1:18 scale. Minichamps' zinc alloy chassis captures that aerodynamic complexity with fine tampo printing rather than simplified painted shapes, and the number 3 and Tag Heuer branding across the car are reproduced with the sharp, legible edges this manufacturer's F1 line consistently delivers. The car's dark navy livery, a departure from Red Bull's earlier brighter schemes, holds an even, well-matched finish across the bodywork's complex surfacing.
Ricciardo's 2017 Season and This Podium Finish
Daniel Ricciardo's time at Red Bull built him a reputation as one of the most popular drivers on the grid, known for bold, late-braking overtakes and a consistently strong podium record even in years when Mercedes and Ferrari dominated the front of the field. His third-place finish at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix represents exactly that kind of solid, dependable result during a season when outright wins were harder to come by for Red Bull. For fans who followed his career closely, individual race-specific liveries like this one carry more weight than a generic season car.
A Fan-Favorite Driver's Legacy on the Shelf
At 1:18, this RB13 fits naturally into a Ricciardo-focused collection spanning his Red Bull years, and pairing it with liveries from his later career elsewhere traces the arc of one of the sport's most consistently entertaining drivers.
