About the McLaren MCL36 #4 L. Norris Abu Dhabi GP 2022 Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin McLaren MCL36 reproduces Lando Norris's #4 car at the 2022 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, closing out his third full season with the team. The sealed one-piece body carries McLaren's papaya-and-blue livery in its final-race, fully developed aerodynamic specification.

By the end of 2022, Norris had become the steady constant in a McLaren lineup that saw his teammate change from Ricciardo to Piastri within the space of one offseason. Minichamps' resin MCL36 documents his side of that closing weekend.

Norris's 2022 Season and a Changing Lineup

Norris entered 2022 as McLaren's established driver, having joined the team in 2019, and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that closed the season fell during a period of visible change around him, with Ricciardo's exit already confirmed and Piastri's controversial arrival already announced for the following year. The MCL36 itself had shown flashes of competitiveness through the season without ever fully closing the gap to the frontrunning teams, a familiar mid-grid story for a car built under a fixed budget cap regulation that limited how much in-season development any team could pursue. This specific Abu Dhabi livery documents the fully developed, end-of-season aerodynamic package rather than the car's earlier, less refined specification.

Resin Casting of a Fully Developed Season Package

This model has no opening cockpit or engine cover; it is a sealed one-piece resin body. Teams typically bring their most refined floor and sidepod updates to the season's final rounds, and resin's tight casting tolerances hold that late-season surfacing detail with sharper definition than a heavier diecast process would achieve at the same scale. The papaya-and-blue livery's color separation along the sidepods and airbox needs precise registration, and Minichamps' paintwork keeps those boundaries clean rather than letting the colors bleed into one another at the panel joins.

A Consistent Presence in a Chronological Collection

Norris's steady tenure at McLaren makes his season liveries a useful chronological backbone for collectors tracking the team's recent history, since his presence across multiple seasons provides continuity that a rotating driver lineup does not. At 1:18 scale the MCL36 measures roughly 25 centimeters, sitting well alongside his earlier and later season liveries on a driver-focused shelf. This Abu Dhabi car specifically marks the final round before McLaren's driver pairing changed heading into 2023.

Display and Collecting Notes

The bright papaya base shows dust and fingerprints readily, so handle the model by the underbody when repositioning it on a shelf. Season-finale liveries generally hold steady interest among collectors tracking a driver's year-by-year progression rather than isolated race wins. Paired with his 2023 MCL60 livery, this MCL36 shows the visible progression in McLaren's aerodynamic philosophy across consecutive seasons.
