The 2026 Formula 1 season introduced a sweeping technical reset, and Ferrari entered it with the SF-26 — a challenger built around the new aerodynamic framework and an updated power unit. Charles Leclerc carried race number 16 for Scuderia Ferrari HP, the team's official name since Hewlett Packard Enterprise assumed the title sponsorship role in 2024. BBR Models' Concept43 line captures that car in 1:43 die-cast metal with the accuracy the subject deserves.
The Ferrari SF-26: New Regulations, New Architecture
Developed entirely to the 2026 technical regulations, the SF-26 represents a more significant engineering departure than any Ferrari F1 car in recent memory. The SF-26's visual identity under Scuderia Ferrari HP is equally distinct: traditional Scuderia red is paired with a white engine cover and airbox area, a deliberate branding choice introduced as part of the HP partnership.
Leclerc and Shanghai: Race Number 16 at the Chinese Grand Prix
At the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix held at Shanghai International Circuit, Charles Leclerc drove the SF-26 No. 16 to a 4th-place finish. The red and white livery was fully representative of the HP-era Scuderia, with sponsors including UniCredit, Shell V-Power, CEVA Logistics, IBM, PUMA, and Richard Mille carried on the bodywork. The Shanghai result is the specific race moment this model commemorates — a defined championship round on a circuit with a strong history in the modern F1 calendar.
BBR Concept43: Die-Cast Metal at 1:43
BBR Models produces this replica under their Concept43 designation — a die-cast metal construction at 1:43 scale. The cockpit is empty, with no driver figure included. Each model ships with a display base and an acrylic protective case. The suffix 16 in the product reference reflects Leclerc's race number, making this an unambiguous driver-specific collectible tied to a single race event.
