About the Red Bull Racing RB13 Tag Heuer #33 M. Verstappen Australian GP 2017 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 resin Red Bull RB13 reproduces Max Verstappen's #33 car from the 2017 Australian Grand Prix, wearing the Tag Heuer badging Red Bull used for its Renault power units that season. It captures an early chapter of Verstappen's Red Bull career, well before his title-winning years.
Long before Verstappen became a champion, he was already the team's future headline act, and the RB13 belongs to that build-up period.
The RB13 in Verstappen's Early Red Bull Years
By 2017, Verstappen was already a race winner but not yet a championship contender, and the RB13 represented Red Bull's effort to close the gap on Mercedes and Ferrari during a period when Renault supplied its engines under the Tag Heuer badge, a sponsorship arrangement that avoided naming Renault directly on the car. The Australian Grand Prix, run at Melbourne's Albert Park, opens the season and typically shows early form rather than final competitive order, so a livery from this race documents the start of that year's development race rather than its conclusion. For collectors following Verstappen's career chronologically, cars from this pre-championship period fill an important gap between his junior years and his eventual title runs.
Minichamps' Sealed Resin Build for an Early-Career Livery
Minichamps' resin construction on this piece means a sealed body rather than opening panels, trading interior access for sharper definition on the RB13's aerodynamic surfaces, particularly around the sidepods and diffuser where fine detail matters most. The livery's Tag Heuer branding and Red Bull's signature dark blue are tampo printed for precision at close range. Lightweight compared to a diecast equivalent, the resin build still projects the low, aggressive stance that defined mid-2010s F1 aerodynamics. This is a strong pickup for a Verstappen career shelf built chronologically, marking the years before Red Bull found title-winning form.
