This is the Mercedes GP F1 #12 2026 China GP Kimi Antonelli in 1:18 scale w/Pit Board by Minichamps.

At the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, Andrea Kimi Antonelli delivered a historic breakthrough by winning his first Formula 1 race in the No.12 Mercedes W17, becoming one of the youngest winners in F1 history at just 19 years old. The Italian prodigy, known for his rapid rise through the junior ranks, secured pole position, fastest lap, and victory in a dominant performance, leading a Mercedes 1–2 finish. Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team’s W17 stood out under the new 2026 regulations as a lighter, more compact car with a highly efficient hybrid power unit, widely regarded as one of the strongest on the grid. Its superior energy recovery and aerodynamic efficiency gave it a clear race pace advantage, allowing Antonelli to control the race and secure a landmark first win—signaling the arrival of a new star in Formula 1.

waterslide decals are used to achieve the clear, crisp detail. Hand Painted and polished
to a beautiful finish, these models are exceptionally accurate in scale and shape.
