About the Alfa Romeo Racing C39 #99 A. Giovinazzi Austrian GP 2020 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces Antonio Giovinazzi's Alfa Romeo Racing C39 from the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix, the pandemic-delayed season opener, finished in the team's red and white livery with the Italian driver's permanent #99. Zinc alloy construction and tampo-printed sponsor graphics match the specification raced at the Red Bull Ring.
An Italian driver in an Alfa Romeo-badged Formula 1 car is a pairing that does not come along often. This model reproduces Giovinazzi's C39 from the 2020 season opener at the Red Bull Ring.
The C39's Colors and Giovinazzi's Number
Red, White, and the #99
Alfa Romeo Racing's 2020 livery kept the red, white, and blue scheme the team had run since taking over the Alfa Romeo name, and Minichamps applies it here with the same tampo-printed sponsor detail used across the rest of the C39 line: flat, sharp-edged Orlen and Alfa Romeo branding through the sidepods and engine cover. Giovinazzi's permanent number 99, the personal number he has carried since Formula 1 introduced driver-chosen numbering, sits on the cockpit surround and nosecone exactly as raced. That number has stayed with him through every Formula 1 seat he has held, making it as much a personal identifier as the team livery itself.
Diecast Build Shared Across the Team
The construction matches Raikkonen's #7 sister car from the same weekend: a zinc alloy tub for weight, with the front and rear wings, halo, and mirrors molded separately for finer edges than a single diecast casting could produce. Checking the two liveries against each other, the only differences are the number, the cockpit surround sponsor detail, and small placement shifts in secondary logos, which is exactly how the real cars differed on track.
An Italian Driver for an Italian-Named Team
Alfa Romeo's Return and a Home Favorite
Alfa Romeo Racing's revival of the Alfa Romeo name in Formula 1, after decades away from the sport as a factory entry, made an Italian driver in the seat a natural storyline for Italian fans in particular. Giovinazzi filled that role from 2019, driving alongside the far more experienced Raikkonen and absorbing the kind of on-track education a young driver rarely gets in a midfield car without pressure to deliver immediate results.
A Development Role More Than a Points Chase
Through 2020, Giovinazzi's job was as much about building experience as scoring points, given the C39's midfield pace, and his results that season reflected a team still working to close the gap to the cars ahead. Reliability and midfield competition limited how often that development translated into points, but the mileage itself had lasting value for a driver still building his Formula 1 résumé. That developmental framing matters for how this model should be read: not a trophy piece, but a record of a driver's early Formula 1 seasons in a car built to teach as much as to compete.
Completing a Full Alfa Romeo Racing Weekend
Paired with Raikkonen's #7 from the same Austrian Grand Prix, this Giovinazzi casting completes the full team entry from one specific weekend, both liveries identical apart from number and small sponsor placement differences exactly as they appeared on track. That pairing works particularly well for anyone building a marque-specific collection around Alfa Romeo, since the two cars together tell a more complete story than either alone. At 1:18, both hold the same footprint, so no adjustment to shelf spacing is needed when displaying the pair side by side.
A Personal Pick Within a Team Story
This model rewards a collector with a specific interest, whether that is Giovinazzi himself, the Alfa Romeo name's return to the grid, or simply completing a team's full-season lineup one car at a time. It stands fine on its own but earns more context alongside its teammate car, and either way the tampo-printed livery and zinc alloy build hold up to the same standard as the rest of Minichamps' current F1 range.
