The 2024 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit on 8 December 2024 closed out the FIA Formula One World Championship season, and Charles Leclerc brought his No. 16 Ferrari SF-24 home in third place. Looksmart has reproduced that specific car and that specific afternoon in 1:18 resin, complete with the HP-era livery that distinguishes the later-season SF-24 from its earlier 2024 appearances. A showcase display case is included.
The Ferrari SF-24 in 2024
Ferrari's SF-24 is a direct evolution of the SF-23, developed within the 2022-regulation ground-effect framework. It is powered by the Ferrari turbocharged 1.6-litre V6 hybrid power unit. The aerodynamic packaging was revised from its predecessor, with an updated sidepod concept aimed at unlocking downforce and balance improvements across the season's varied circuits, from street tracks to high-speed layouts like Yas Marina.
Abu Dhabi 2024: Leclerc, the Season Finale and the HP Livery
Hewlett Packard Enterprise joined Scuderia Ferrari as a title sponsor from the 2024 Miami Grand Prix onward, and its branding featured prominently on the SF-24 for all subsequent races, including Abu Dhabi. Charles Leclerc, who has raced for Ferrari since 2019, secured third place on 8 December 2024 — a podium on the final race of the season and a clean finish to a year that carried both momentum and expectation. The HP branding makes this livery variant distinctly identifiable within the broader SF-24 model range.
The Looksmart 1:18 Resin Model
Looksmart is an Italian resin model manufacturer with an established reputation for high-fidelity 1:18 and 1:43 Formula 1 reproductions. The SF-24 is rendered in resin, a material that allows sharp surface detail across the aerodynamic bodywork — front wing endplates, floor edges, and livery graphics — without the compromises that diecast tooling sometimes demands. The model replicates the No. 16 race livery as it appeared at Yas Marina on 8 December 2024.
In the Display Cabinet
The model is supplied with a showcase display case, so it arrives ready to exhibit. A 1:18 Formula 1 car demands a dedicated shelf run — the elongated nose and rear wing require clear lateral space. This piece sits naturally alongside other Looksmart SF-24 variants from the 2024 season, or with 1:18 resin F1 models from BBR or MR Collection covering Ferrari's recent championship campaigns. For a collector focused on Leclerc or on season-finale moments, it represents a precisely dated snapshot rather than a generic car release.
