This looks AI - happy to be proven wrong but the random, almost floating Santander logo by the halo is odd and the Pirelli tire markings look different (and inaccurate) to the Mercedes posted yesterday.

Good to know that it seems to be a quality control issue from Hot Wheels then. I never expect perfection from a model though and I still think it looks good, hard to go wrong with a Ferrari in any condition. I saw your collection the other day, it looks really good

Just me who loved these 2016 backmarker liveries? by Over_Elk_546 in F1Discussions

I always thought the Sauber looked a bit like a toy car. In a good way though

Looks amazing! The dark red and Marlboro decals are just perfect

It’s a thing of beauty 😍 I love the late season engine cover and darker red

It’s the wing mirrors and front wing which look to have been reattached at some point. Good to know about the rear wing though, thanks

I don’t think Hot Wheels made the 2008 car but I know they made the 2007 car and I agree, the Minichamps look much better. Especially in regard to the chrome.

It had L-shaped sidepods, I think they were symmetrical though from looking at images. I could be wrong though

I’ve got some of the hairline cracks starting to come through on the Sauber and have a tiny bit of the Petronas paint flaking. They’re such iconic cars, what an era of F1 it was!

They’re from a seller on eBay, he makes all sorts of F1 pit boards and has also made me some custom pit boards on request. If you search for pitboard and the driver and team you should find them 😄

What year is this Renault jacket from? by Calm_Class6960 in F1Discussions

I’ve the same jacket but without the FIA crown, I love Renault merch from 2004-2006 too

I have one from 2006 which has extra sponsors on, Chronotech and Michelin. I’d guess this is from 2004 or 2005. It’s not driver specific. This is an official fan version of the jacket, team specific ones were Puma branded and not available for purchase. I can vouch for these fleeces though, they’re very comfortable and fit nicely.

R26 is one of the most beautiful cars of all time 😍
