On the weekend we saw the Gran Prix of Bahrain, the overall 999th run of the Formula 1-world championship or Automobil-World championship, when it was born in 1950. The Gran Prix on the Bahrain International Circuit is discharged since 2004; the version of 2016 offered the stage for the young Belgian Stoffel Vandoorne for his involvement in the Formula 1, on which the modelcar of the McLaren MP4-31, signed by him, reminds from the home of Minichamps. The miniature with the item number 533164347 in scale 1:43 and produced out of diecast, signed by Stoffel and limited to 500 units worldwide is exclusively available at CK. And this brings us to the topic, which this article is about: we summarize, which modelcars we still have in the range, which lead a Bahrain Grand Prix in the name.

This year is the 70th season of the official FIA Formula 1 World Championship, which was held as the Automobile World Championship until 1980. In 2018, Sergio Pérez and Esteban Ocon started for the Sahara Force India Team, to which CK also offers only two modelcars.
