About the Racing Point RP20 Mercedes #27 N. Hulkenberg BWT Racing Point 70th Anniversary Grand Prix 2020 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 diecast reproduces Nico Hulkenberg's Racing Point RP20 from the 2020 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, the race where he started from the pit lane as a late substitute and drove to third place. The pink BWT livery and Mercedes power unit mark one of the era's most talked-about Formula 1 storylines.
Substitute-driver stories rarely end on the podium. That is exactly why the 2020 70th Anniversary Grand Prix still comes up in conversation among collectors of modern F1 diecast.
Minichamps' Diecast Take on an Improbable Podium
Hulkenberg was called up on short notice after Sergio Perez tested positive for COVID-19, missed qualifying entirely, and started from the pit lane with no practice data on new tires. What followed was one of the drives of the season: a climb through the field that ended with third place, a result nobody predicted on Friday. Minichamps' 1:18 reproduction carries the RP20's full sponsor livery in tampo-printed decal work, from the BWT branding down to the smaller partner logos across the sidepods and nose. The diecast body has the weight collectors expect from Minichamps' F1 line, and the front and rear wing elements are cast with the fine detail this scale demands. It sits on a simple display base, standard for the range, letting the livery do the talking rather than adding accessories that would distract from it.
The BWT Pink Livery on the Shelf
Racing Point's shocking pink scheme was one of the most visually distinct liveries on the 2020 grid, and it reads even bolder in 1:18 than it did trackside, since a shelf display removes the visual noise of a live broadcast. Minichamps positions this line at a mid-collector tier: not a limited numbered edition, but a properly detailed replica priced below the resin pieces the brand reserves for its most exclusive subjects. Set beside other 2020-era liveries, the RP20 anchors a season display and gives a collector a genuine talking point beyond paint alone, since the Hulkenberg story is part of what makes this particular car worth owning.
