Legendary triple Formula One world champion Niki Lauda passed away just before this year’s Monaco Grand Prix. In tribute to the celebrated Austrian, Mercedes ran with a red halo during the event. Lewis Hamilton also donned a Lauda replica helmet in the race, going on to take victory after absorbing massive pressure from Max Verstappen in the closing stages.

We will see both 1:18 and 1:43 replicas of what has already become one of the most poignant cars in the history of Formula One. Spark will provide the 1:18 replica, under code (SPA18S460), at a price of £139.99. The 1:43 version will come courtesy of Minichamps, coded at (P190644), and priced at £89.99.

You will not be surprised to hear that demand has been huge with both of these since they were initially announced. As ever, pre-ordering is the safest way to secure what you want.
