About the Aston Martin AMR22 Aramco #5 S. Vettel Abu Dhabi GP 2022 Last Race Collector's Edition Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin Aston Martin AMR22 reproduces Sebastian Vettel's #5 Aramco livery from the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, his final Formula 1 race. This sealed resin collector's edition commemorates a four-time world champion's retirement rather than a race result.
Retirement liveries carry a different weight than ordinary season entries, and this AMR22 marks the exact race where one of Formula 1's most decorated drivers stepped away for good.
Sealed Resin Precision for a Commemorative F1 Livery
Unlike the diecast models filling most of a Formula 1 shelf, this AMR22 is cast in resin, a sealed construction that trades opening panels for sharper body lines and cleaner cockpit and halo detailing, well suited to a single-season F1 car's complex aerodynamic surfaces. The Aramco-backed Aston Martin livery, with its distinctive green and pink accents, is reproduced with the crisp decal edges resin casting typically achieves, and the front and rear wing elements, among the hardest details to get right on any F1 diecast or resin piece, hold their shape without the flex or thickness diecast tooling sometimes introduces. For a commemorative piece like this, that sealed precision suits the occasion better than an opening-parts casting would.
A Four-Time Champion's Final Grand Prix
Sebastian Vettel ended his Formula 1 career at the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, closing out a run that included four consecutive world championships earlier in his career, driving for Aston Martin in the team's Aramco-sponsored AMR22. That final race carried genuine emotional weight across the paddock, marking the end of an era for one of the sport's most successful modern drivers. A resin collector's edition tied specifically to that race documents a retirement moment rather than a competitive result, giving it a different kind of significance than a typical season-long livery model.
