About the Red Bull Racing RB16 #33 M. Verstappen 3rd Place Styrian GP 2020 Minichamps 1:18
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:18 diecast Red Bull Racing RB16 reproduces Max Verstappen's #33 car from the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix, where he finished third at the Red Bull Ring. Honda-era Red Bull livery, sponsor decals, and race-specific detailing mark this as a documented podium car rather than a generic team livery.
Third place doesn't carry the same headline weight as a win, but the 2020 Styrian Grand Prix mattered for Red Bull as proof the RB16 could run with Mercedes. Minichamps chose to immortalize exactly that result.
Minichamps' Race-Specific Livery for a Documented Podium
RB16 Bodywork and Honda-Era Sponsor Decals
Minichamps builds its Formula 1 diecast around race-specific liveries rather than a generic season template, and this RB16 carries the exact sponsor placement, number 33, and Honda power unit branding that Verstappen's car wore at the Red Bull Ring that weekend. The tampo-printed decals sit flat against the body with sharp edges, avoiding the raised, slightly silvered look that cheaper waterslide transfers develop over time, and the diecast body holds real weight in hand, signaling the zinc alloy construction underneath the paint.
Why the Third-Place Result Matters to Collectors
A podium livery matters because Minichamps' F1 catalog spans every finishing position from race winners to midfield runners, and a collector chasing a complete season needs the accurate result, not just the accurate car. This one documents a real third-place finish rather than a repainted stand-in, which is the detail that separates a serious race-result collection from a shelf of interchangeable team liveries.

A Pandemic-Shortened Season's Second Race
The 2020 season opened with back-to-back races at the same Austrian circuit, the Red Bull Ring, after the pandemic forced Formula 1 to rebuild its calendar around venues that could host with minimal travel. The Styrian Grand Prix was the second of that pair, and Verstappen brought the RB16 home third behind a dominant Mercedes one-two, a result that reflected both the car's genuine pace and Red Bull's home-race motivation on Honda power. It is a race remembered as much for the unusual season structure as for the result itself.
Building a 2020 Red Bull Season on One Shelf
Diecast Precision at F1 Scale
At 1:18, an F1 car casting runs close to 25 centimeters with the narrow, low-slung proportions the scale is built to show off, and the RB16's distinctive nose and sidepod shapes read clearly even from across a room. Diecast suits open-cockpit subjects like this: the exposed structure benefits from real metal weight and crisp paint edges rather than the sealed-body approach resin racing subjects sometimes use. Paired with other 2020 Red Bull liveries, this Styrian podium car documents one specific weekend in a season that proved to be a difficult final full campaign on Honda power before the regulations reset the grid.
