Round 6 of the 2024 FIA Formula One World Championship, held at the Miami International Autodrome in Miami Gardens, Florida, was not just another race weekend for Scuderia Ferrari. It was the moment a new commercial chapter opened: HP — through its partnership announced ahead of Miami — appeared on the SF-24 for the first time, renaming the team Scuderia Ferrari HP. Car No. 55, in the hands of Carlos Sainz Jr., was part of that debut, starting from third on the grid and running as high as fourth before a 5-second penalty for contact with Oscar Piastri dropped the final classification to fifth.
The Ferrari SF-24: Ferrari's 2024 Formula 1 Contender
The SF-24 represented Scuderia Ferrari's 2024 Formula 1 challenger. Aerodynamically, it incorporated a revised package relative to its predecessor, the SF-23. The chassis competed across the full 2024 season, fielded by two drivers — Charles Leclerc on car No. 16 and Carlos Sainz Jr. on car No. 55 — as Ferrari pursued its first Constructors' title in over a decade.

The 2024 Miami Grand Prix on 5 May marked the race debut of the Scuderia Ferrari HP branding, with HP's white visual identity integrated into the predominantly red SF-24 livery. Sainz qualified third and ran competitively throughout a race eventually won by Lando Norris — his first Formula 1 victory — with Norris heading Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc. Sainz crossed the line fourth but was classified fifth following the stewards' 5-second penalty for the Piastri incident. It was also part of his final full season at Ferrari before his departure at the end of 2024, lending the Miami entry additional biographical weight.
BBR Models: Die-Cast at 1:18
BBR Models is an Italian specialist with a long-standing focus on Ferrari and prestige racing machinery. This 1:18 scale model car is produced in die-cast and replicates the No. 55 SF-24 in its Miami-specification HP livery — white HP branding on the red bodywork as it appeared on 5 May 2024. BBR's attention to surface detail, livery accuracy and component fidelity makes this an authoritative record of a specific race configuration rather than a generic 2024 season car.
In the Display Cabinet
A 1:18 Formula 1 car occupies a meaningful footprint on a shelf, requiring a deep shelf to accommodate the full nose and rear wing span. This model pairs naturally with the Ferrari SF-24 No. 16 Charles Leclerc from the same Miami race — Leclerc finished third that day, so the two cars reconstruct Ferrari's entire Miami 2024 presence. Collectors assembling a 2024 Miami GP diorama might also consider the McLaren MCL38 No. 4, which took the race win. As the only SF-24 carrying the inaugural HP livery from its very first race, this No. 55 occupies a distinct position in any Ferrari F1 chronology.
