Of course, the first attention of all Formula 1 fans during a race goes to their favorite driver and his F1 car. However, have you ever looked closely at the car that regularly enters the track as a Formula 1 Safety Car?
Yes, you read that right. Even if Hamilton or Bottas are not leading the field, there is a Mercedes in the lead. A beautiful car that serves Formula 1 as a Safety Car. The Safety Car is usually deployed after an accident, when a car has to be removed from the track. At other times, there may be loose parts on the track, or a heavy downpour may make it impossible for riders to continue at full speed.
On the one hand, the Safety Car is a bummer, because it brings the whole field back together. On the other hand, an agreed safety measure that ensures that the tension in the race returns.

The Mercedes Safety Car is now inextricably linked to Formula 1. A real eye-catcher that must be used regularly, until the track can of course be released again.
The condition is that the Mercedes sports car has enough horsepower to temporarily keep the superior cars and their eager drivers in check. Also, that it is driven by a permanent, professional driver who knows the worldwide circuits so well that he knows how to maintain the right speed for the hot cars behind him.
In short, the Mercedes Safety Car is a car that should not be missing on the track, nor in a true Formula 1 fan collection. Minichamps has designed a beautiful scale model (1:18) of this sporty Mercedes. A unique showpiece that is currently still in production, but can already be ordered. For the true fan!
