22.08.2024Number one of twelve: start of Max Verstappen’s record series

The most victories in a row (10), the most podium finishes in a season (21) and the most World Championship points collected in a season (575) are just a few of the records that Max Verstappen was able to break in the historic 2023 Formula 1 season. The Dutchman laid the foundation for this with the incredible series of ten consecutive wins. He achieved this feat from the Miami Grand Prix to the Italian Grand Prix.

For the second Miami Grand Prix, Red Bull came up with something special for the RB19 by adapting its iconic design. The familiar look was complemented by a flowing color gradient. This was intended as a homage to the typical colors of Miami.

The first four races of the season had already been firmly in the hands of the two Red Bull drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez. This dominance continued in Miami. After Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc caused an interruption shortly before the end of the third qualifying session, Verstappen, who had been the world championship leader up to that point, had to start the race from a sobering ninth place. In contrast to his teammate Sergio Pérez, who started the race from pole position, the Dutchman had no choice but to flee. Inimitable, he immediately started to catch up on the hard tires and was in second place behind his Red Bull colleague after just a quarter of the race. Supported by the long durability of the harder tire compound, Verstappen took the lead shortly afterwards. Only after his pit stop did he have to give up the top position to Pérez again, but was able to overtake him quickly and drive home his third victory of the season after 57 laps.

In collaboration with Minichamps, the model that laid the foundation for Max Verstappen's record series is now available in scale 1:18 from ck-modelcars. The Red Bull RB19 in its special design is exclusively limited to 420 pieces and is delivered in a high-quality collector's box. Special highlights of the model are the true-to-original cockpit replica including the driver figure of Max Verstappen.
