This is the Merecedes GP F1 #12 2026 China GP Kimi Antonelli in 1:18 scale by Minichamps.

At the 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, Andrea Kimi Antonelli delivered a sensational breakthrough by securing both his first pole position and maiden Formula 1 victory in the No.12 Mercedes W17, becoming the youngest polesitter and one of the youngest race winners in history at just 19 years old. Known for his rapid rise and composure under pressure, Antonelli mastered challenging conditions, including running wet-weather tires early in the race, showcasing exceptional control and tire management. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team W17 stood out with its highly efficient hybrid power unit and superior energy recovery system, giving it a decisive edge in changing grip conditions and allowing Antonelli to convert pole into a dominant victory. This performance not only marked his first win but also signaled Mercedes’ technical advantage under the new 2026 regulations and the arrival of a new star in Formula 1.
