Formula One still accounts for a fairly significant proportion of sales in the diecast market, although these days the percentage it accounts for is probably not as high as it used to be. There was a time when Minichamps totally dominated the market for current season F1 models, and some years ago the demand was such that a model was produced in both 1:43 and 1:18 for just about every driver who raced during any given year. That is no longer the case, and today Minichamps has to share the market with Spark, Burago and a number of low volume specialist producers. It depends on the subject, but the demand for F1 cars from the classic era (1950-2000) can be even greater than it is for modern F1 cars.
