The 2024 Formula 1 season proved one of Ferrari's most competitive in recent memory, and the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas on 20 October was one of its clearest demonstrations. Charles Leclerc, carrying No. 16, qualified on pole and converted it into a race victory — a result that sits firmly among the season's highlights for Scuderia Ferrari. Looksmart has documented that moment in 1:18 resin.
The Ferrari SF-24: 2024 Formula 1 Contender
The SF-24 is the official designation of Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 challenger for the 2024 season, succeeding the SF-23. It is powered by the Ferrari 676 power unit — a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 hybrid — built in compliance with the FIA's current hybrid power unit regulations. The car's development reflected Ferrari's ambition to close the gap at the front of the field, and the SF-24 delivered race wins across the second half of the season to validate that intent.
Pole to Flag: Leclerc at Austin 2024
The 2024 United States Grand Prix weekend at Circuit of the Americas ran under the sprint format. In the main race on 20 October, Leclerc started from pole position and led through to the chequered flag, taking first place in the full-points race. It was a controlled, authoritative performance on one of F1's most demanding permanent circuits. The SF-24 wore the standard 2024 Scuderia Ferrari red livery with white and black accents, race number 16 in white — exactly as reproduced here.
A 1:18 Scale Model in Resin by Looksmart
Looksmart produces this model in resin, the material of choice among serious collectors for its capacity to hold sharp graphic edges and nuanced paint surfaces. The Ferrari red livery of the SF-24 — with its layered sponsor markings and aerodynamic bodywork — is a demanding subject, and resin construction in 1:18 gives the livery graphics the fidelity they require. As is standard with Looksmart's resin line, the body is a sealed, one-piece construction; the detail is concentrated entirely on the exterior surfaces: wings, sidepods, floor edges and livery artwork.
In the Display Cabinet
A Formula 1 car at 1:18 occupies meaningful shelf space — the elongated nose and full front wing demand a generously proportioned cabinet bay. This model ships with its own display showcase, so it is ready to present immediately without a separate purchase. It pairs naturally with other Looksmart Ferrari SF-24 subjects and with resin 1:18 Ferrari F1 cars from recent seasons, building a coherent Scuderia Ferrari race-win sub-collection anchored around confirmed podium finishes.
