Round 8 of the 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship brought one of the season's most emotionally charged results: a Ferrari 1-3 at Monaco, with Charles Leclerc winning his home Grand Prix for the first time in the championship era. Carlos Sainz Jr., starting and finishing third, was integral to that moment. BBR Models documents it in resin at 1:43, in the Scuderia Ferrari HP livery that defined Ferrari's visual identity from May 2024 onwards.
Ferrari SF-24: The 2024 Challenger
The Ferrari SF-24 was Ferrari's entry for the full 2024 FIA Formula 1 World Championship. At Monaco, Car No. 55 was in the hands of Carlos Sainz Jr. throughout the weekend.
Monaco, 26 May 2024: Sainz and a Ferrari Milestone
Sainz qualified third at the Circuit de Monaco and converted that grid position into a third-place finish, crossing the line +7.585 seconds behind race winner Leclerc. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) took second. The Ferrari 1-3 result coincided with Leclerc's becoming the first Monegasque driver to win the Monaco Grand Prix in the Formula 1 championship era — a result that lent particular historical weight to every car on that podium. It was also one of Sainz's final races with Scuderia Ferrari before his departure at season's end.
BBR Models: Resin Craftsmanship at 1:43
BBR Models — Bbiemme Racing Replicas — is an Italian specialist widely regarded as a benchmark producer of resin scale replicas, with a particular focus on Ferrari racing cars. This model is constructed in resin, consistent with BBR's standard production methodology for 1:43 racing car replicas.

The body is a sealed, fixed-shell resin construction; detail is concentrated on the external aerodynamic surfaces and livery graphics.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:43, this model sits comfortably alongside BBR's complementary Ferrari SF-24 No. 16 Charles Leclerc Monaco GP 2024 — together they reconstruct the exact 1-3 Ferrari pairing from that podium. The scale also integrates naturally with Spark Model's 1:43 Formula 1 range, allowing a broader Monaco 2024 grid display. For collectors building a Sainz retrospective, it pairs with the Ferrari F1-75 No. 55 from the 2022 British GP — his first Formula 1 victory — as a bookend to his Ferrari chapter.
Frequently asked questions
How big is the 1:43 scale model?
The official overall length of the Ferrari SF-24 has not been published by Scuderia Ferrari, so an exact model length cannot be stated here. A 1:43 single-seater requires a reasonably deep shelf; worth checking the product listing for confirmed dimensions.
Does the model have opening parts?
No. This is a sealed resin construction with a fixed one-piece body, consistent with BBR Models' standard 1:43 methodology. Detail is concentrated on the external aerodynamic surfaces, livery graphics, and the Scuderia Ferrari HP branding applied to the Monaco 2024 race specification.
Who makes this model and what material is it?
The model is made by BBR Models (Bbiemme Racing Replicas), an Italian specialist widely respected for resin Ferrari replicas. The construction material is resin, which allows finer surface detail and livery accuracy compared to diecast at the same scale.
Why is the 2024 Monaco GP significant for this particular car?
Carlos Sainz started and finished third in Car No. 55 on 26 May 2024, completing a Ferrari 1-3 result alongside race winner Charles Leclerc — the first Monegasque driver to win the Monaco GP in the F1 championship era. It was also one of Sainz's final races with Scuderia Ferrari before his departure at the close of the 2024 season.
