About the Red Bull Racing RB16 #23 A. Albon 4th Place Styrian GP 2020 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast reproduces Alexander Albon's Red Bull Racing RB16 from his fourth-place finish at the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix, a result that came after a late-race collision with Hamilton while both fought for the podium. Zinc alloy construction carries the team's navy and red livery.
Albon's 2020 season swung between genuine promise and hard luck, and the Styrian Grand Prix captured both in one afternoon. This model reproduces the RB16 he drove to fourth place that weekend.
The RB16's Livery and Construction
Red Bull's Navy and Yellow Detail
Red Bull Racing's 2020 livery carried the team's established navy base with red, yellow, and Honda-branding accents through the sidepods and engine cover, and Minichamps applies that scheme with tampo-printed graphics rather than decals, keeping sponsor logos flat against the bodywork. Albon's cockpit surround and nosecone detail match the specification he raced at the Red Bull Ring, the team's home circuit for both 2020 Austrian rounds.
Diecast Weight and Wing Assembly
The zinc alloy tub gives the model genuine heft, while the front and rear wings, halo, and mirrors are molded separately in finer plastic or resin, holding thinner edges than a single diecast pour would allow. The RB16's distinctive high-rake rear end and narrow sidepod undercuts, hallmarks of Red Bull's aerodynamic approach that year, are worth checking closely against reference photos for anyone judging how faithfully the casting captures the car's actual proportions.
A Podium Fight That Became Fourth Place
Contact With Hamilton
Albon spent much of the Styrian Grand Prix in genuine contention for the podium, running ahead of at least one of the sport's regular front-runners deep into the race. Late contact with Hamilton while the two battled for position cost Albon track position and, with it, a shot at a stronger result, and the race settled with his RB16 crossing the line fourth.
A Result That Still Mattered
Fourth place understates how competitive Albon's car and drive were that weekend, and results like this one were part of a season that never quite delivered the breakthrough his side of the Red Bull garage needed. This model, tied to that specific finish, documents the near-miss rather than a straightforward result, which is exactly the kind of detail that gives a race-and-result-specific diecast its appeal.
Red Bull's Two-Driver Story in 2020
Albon's 2020 season, his last full year in the Red Bull seat, ran alongside Verstappen's far more consistent campaign in the sister car, and results like this Styrian fourth show the pace was there even when the finishing position did not fully reflect it. Displaying this RB16 next to a Verstappen model from the same season tells that fuller story: two drivers in equally capable machinery, one converting pace into results more consistently than the other. At this tier, expect precise wing geometry and a correctly saturated navy finish, with cockpit and suspension detail simplified relative to a limited-run resin alternative aimed at closer inspection rather than shelf presence. At 1:18, both hold the same footprint, and the shared navy livery differs only in number and minor cockpit sponsor detail between the two cars.
Marking a Specific Near-Miss
Race-and-result-specific F1 diecast works best when the result itself carries a story, and a competitive fourth after contact with a title contender qualifies. This piece suits a collector tracking Albon's Red Bull tenure specifically, or one building out the 2020 season's Austrian double-header across multiple teams, and it holds up as a well-detailed standalone piece either way. Honda's power unit badge on the engine cover, in what turned out to be one of the manufacturer's final seasons supplying the team before Red Bull took engine development in-house, adds one more layer of specific-season context worth knowing before buying.
