Round 8 of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship brought one of the season's most memorable results to the Circuit de Monaco on 26 May. Carlos Sainz qualified third and converted that grid position into a third-place finish, crossing the line 7.585 seconds behind the winner — his Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc — in a result that placed two SF-24s on the same Monaco podium. BBR Models has documented that moment in die-cast at 1:18, the scale that gives a single-seater genuine shelf presence.
The Ferrari SF-24 — Ferrari's 2024 Formula 1 Contender
The SF-24 was Scuderia Ferrari's entrant for the full 2024 Formula 1 season, developed as an evolution of the SF-23 and powered by Ferrari's 1.6-litre turbo-hybrid V6 power unit. From the Miami Grand Prix onward, the team ran under the Scuderia Ferrari HP co-title sponsorship, adding the HP logo to the car's livery while the chassis designation remained SF-24. Sainz, wearing race number 55, drove the SF-24 throughout the entire season alongside Charles Leclerc, No. 16.
Monaco 2024 — A Podium to Remember for Sainz and Ferrari
The 2024 Monaco Grand Prix produced a result of particular historical weight: Leclerc became the first Monegasque driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix in the Formula 1 World Championship era, while Sainz held third from his qualifying position to the chequered flag, finishing 7.585 seconds adrift. Oscar Piastri's McLaren took second, making the final order Leclerc–Piastri–Sainz. For Sainz, whose 2024 campaign was his last with Scuderia Ferrari before his departure at season end, this Monaco podium carries additional weight as a career milestone in red.
BBR Models — Die-Cast Construction at 1:18 Scale
BBR Models, the Italian manufacturer with a long track record in high-quality collector reproductions, has rendered this SF-24 in die-cast metal at 1:18 scale. The livery faithfully carries the 2024 Scuderia Ferrari HP red with the HP logo, race number 55, and Sainz's name on the nose and halo area — exactly as seen on 26 May at Monte Carlo. A purpose-made showcase is included, offering dust protection and display-ready presentation straight from the box.
In the Display Cabinet — Pairing and Collection Context
At 1:18 scale a Formula 1 single-seater demands meaningful shelf depth, so the included showcase handles both protection and presentation. The natural companion piece is the Leclerc SF-24 from the same Monaco 2024 race, which recreates the other half of that historic Ferrari result. Within a broader collection, this model sits alongside other 2024-season SF-24 variants and any Sainz-liveried Ferrari from across his years with the team, making it a precise record of his final Monaco appearance in Scuderia Ferrari colours.
