About the Scuderia Ferrari SF70H #5 S. Vettel Winner Australian GP 2017 End of Race BBR 1:18
TL;DR: This 1:18 BBR diecast reproduces Sebastian Vettel's winning #5 Ferrari SF70H from the 2017 Australian Grand Prix in an End of Race finish, replicating the rubber marbles, tire dust and grime a car carries after a full grand prix distance.
Vettel's win at Albert Park opened the 2017 season and gave Ferrari its first Australian Grand Prix victory in years, a result that set the tone for the SF70H's competitive campaign against Mercedes.
What "End of Race" Means on This Casting
An End of Race finish is a deliberate departure from a showroom-clean diecast: BBR applies weathering effects to the wheels, floor and rear bodywork to suggest the marbles and rubber pickup a Formula 1 car accumulates over a race distance. This isn't a flaw in the paint, it's an intentional layer added over the base livery, and it takes a steadier hand than a clean finish because the grime has to look organic rather than smeared. Held under angled light, the weathering catches differently than the gloss red bodywork around it, giving the model a sense of having actually finished a race rather than just posed for one.
Why This Specific Result Matters
Vettel's Melbourne win in 2017 was Ferrari's first race win of that season and arrived against a strong Mercedes package, making it a genuine marker of the SF70H's competitiveness rather than a routine result. For collectors building a season or a specific-race theme, an End of Race edition of a winning car carries more narrative weight than a standard clean casting of the same chassis, since the weathering ties the model directly to that one afternoon at Albert Park.
Displaying a Weathered Diecast
Because the grime finish is part of the factory detailing rather than something a collector applies, handling should be as careful as with any painted diecast, avoiding fingerprints on the textured sections. Paired with a clean-livery SF70H from earlier or later in the season, the contrast between showroom and race-worn finishes makes an effective side-by-side display for anyone building out Ferrari's 2017 campaign.
