Own a Piece of the 2024 Season: The Minichamps 1:43 MoneyGram Haas VF-24 Nico Hülkenberg
The 2024 Formula 1 season was one of the most competitive midfield battles in recent memory — and few drivers embodied that fight more than Nico Hülkenberg behind the wheel of the MoneyGram Haas VF-24. Now you can own a permanent piece of that story with the Minichamps 1:43 scale model of the Haas VF-24 #27, limited to just 504 pieces worldwide.
Hülkenberg's Standout 2024 Season
After returning to the F1 grid full-time with Haas in 2023, Nico Hülkenberg carried his momentum into 2024 and delivered what he himself called one of the most enjoyable seasons of his career. Brilliantly consistent in the opening rounds, he scored points in Saudi Arabia and Australia in the very first races, and kept delivering throughout a gruelling 24-race calendar.
The season's highlight came mid-year when Haas introduced a significant aerodynamic upgrade package to the VF-24. Hülkenberg immediately showed what the updated car was capable of, qualifying and finishing sixth at both the Austrian and British Grand Prix in back-to-back weekends — results that few had predicted for the American team. After the Silverstone result, Hülkenberg summed it up perfectly: the performance was there, and the team was genuinely in the fight for fifth in the Constructors' Championship.
It was the fitting farewell season for a driver who had given everything to Haas before moving on to Sauber (Audi) for 2025 — and the distinctive black, white, and red VF-24 livery will forever be associated with that chapter of his career.
About the Model
Minichamps is widely regarded as one of the world's leading manufacturers of precision scale model cars, and this 1:43 replica of the VF-24 lives up to that reputation fully. Crafted in high-quality resin, the model reproduces every element of the car as raced by Hülkenberg during the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship — from the aerodynamic bodywork contours to the accurate sponsor livery and precise decal placement.

Why 504 Pieces Matters
Minichamps produces limited runs precisely because serious collectors demand exclusivity. With only 504 units made globally, this model will not be restocked once it sells out. That scarcity, combined with the cultural significance of Hülkenberg's farewell Haas season and his subsequent move to the Audi-backed Sauber project, makes this a model with strong long-term collectible appeal.
For Haas fans in particular, the VF-24 represents a genuinely exciting chapter — a car that started the year as an underdog and ended it as a genuine midfield contender. That story deserves a place on your shelf.
The Perfect Gift for Any F1 Fan
Whether you are shopping for a committed motorsport collector, a Hülkenberg supporter, a Haas F1 fan, or simply someone who appreciates exceptional craftsmanship in miniature form, this model ticks every box. It is equally at home in a dedicated diecast collection as it is displayed on a desk or in a glass cabinet.
At 1:43 scale, it is compact enough to display alongside other models without dominating the space — the ideal scale for collectors who follow the full grid and want to build a complete 2024 season lineup.
Limited to 504 pieces. Once they're gone, they're gone — just like Hülkenberg's time in that car.
