MERCEDES-AMG PETRONAS F1 W10 EQ POWER+ — LEWIS HAMILTON 2019 Monaco Grand Prix Winner — The "Danke Niki" Tribute Car Amalgam Collection 1:8 Scale — Edition #17 of 50
An exceptionally poignant large-scale model at 1:8 scale of the Mercedes-AMG F1 W10 EQ Power+, presented as raced to victory by Lewis Hamilton at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix — one of the most emotionally charged races in the sport's modern history, run just days after the passing of Mercedes non-executive chairman and three-time World Champion Niki Lauda.
The 1:8 W10 Monaco GP Winner is officially Sold Out at Amalgam, and the edition was limited to just 50 pieces — half the size of your RB16B's 99-per-driver run. F1 Authentics also lists it as a strictly limited 50-piece global edition, produced to mark the anniversary of the Monaco Grand Prix.
The model faithfully reproduces the unique one-race tribute specification carried at Monte Carlo: the halo finished in Lauda-red in place of the customary silver, inscribed "Niki we miss you," and Lauda's facsimile signature above the words "Danke Niki" on the nose — details rendered here with heartbreaking precision. Hamilton, driving what he described as one of the hardest races of his life, held off Max Verstappen's relentless pressure on badly worn tyres for 67 laps to take an emotional victory he dedicated to Lauda, en route to his sixth World Drivers' Championship in a season that brought Mercedes an unprecedented sixth consecutive title double.
Hand-built by Amalgam Collection in partnership with The Memento Group, and developed using original CAD data, finishes and paint codes supplied by Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, this 1:8 scale example extends to approximately 69 cm and captures the W10's championship-winning architecture in extraordinary depth: the chrome-silver livery dissolving into the star-pattern matte anthracite of the engine cover, the PETRONAS flow-line along the sidepods, and the full 2019 sponsor suite including IWC Schaffhausen, Tommy Hilfiger, Epson, CrowdStrike, Qualcomm and Axalta. Race-weathered Pirelli P Zero red-banded soft tyres — appropriately scrubbed and marked as at the chequered flag — sit over intricately detailed wheels with teal rim rings, while the model's carbon-fibre bargeboard cascade, multi-element front wing and fully furnished cockpit with "HAMILTON" headrest surround reward the closest inspection.
The model is presented on Amalgam's signature carbon-fibre plinth beneath a clear acrylic display cover, bearing polished presentation plaques confirming the subject — F1 W10 EQ Power+, as raced to victory at the 2019 Monaco Grand Prix — and its status as Edition #17 of 50, together with Memento Group and Amalgam Collection attribution. The original black clamshell presentation case accompanies the model.
Among all W10 editions, the Monaco tribute car occupies a singular place: a machine that carries not only the weight of a record-equalling season but the memory of one of Formula One's most beloved figures. With the edition strictly limited to 50 pieces and the "Danke Niki" specification never repeated, this is one of the most emotionally resonant Amalgam subjects of the hybrid era — a museum-grade acquisition for the discerning collector of Mercedes, Hamilton or Lauda memorabilia.
