    We are delighted to present our first ever race weathered Formula 1 models at 1:18 scale, created in partnership with Tempus Magazine. This meticulously patinated model of the McLaren MCL39 is limited to just 39 pieces, and celebrates the opening season victory of eventual 2025 FIA Formula 1 World Champion Lando Norris. Each model has been hand-painted and detailed by our artisans in Bristol to precisely replicate the dirt and detritus that adorned the car at the end of the wet 2025 Australian Grand Prix. The base model was developed in collaboration using confidential CAD data supplied directly by the engineering team at McLaren Formula 1 Team. The prototype model was then thoroughly scrutinised to ensure complete accuracy of representation, before the weathering details are precisely applied by the artisans in our Bristol workshop using archival imagery to ensure the completed model is a perfect replica of the real car. 

    The first McLaren to win both the World Drivers' Championship and World Constructors' Championship in the same season since the Adrian Newey-designed MP4/13 of 1998, the MCL39 sought to build on the successful foundation of the previous year’s Constructors’ Championship winning MCL38. In the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, in their seventh and third seasons with the team respectively, the MCL39 secured the Constructors’ title in joint-record time at the Singapore Grand Prix, with six races remaining in the season. Lando Norris secured his maiden Drivers' Championship at the final race of the season, becoming the first McLaren driver since 2008 to earn the honour.

    An Evolution of a Champion

    While the MCL39 was an evolution of the MCL38, which had been consistently among the quickest cars of the 2024 season, it incorporated substantial technical advancements to maintain McLaren’s competitive edge. Radiators were repositioned further up and backwards, and the car retained the front pull-rod and rear push-rod suspension layout, now enhanced with increased anti-dive measures to improve ride-height control. Other notable changes included redesigned sidepod inlets, revised engine cover bodywork, and a new, wider airbox inlet. Every component was optimised for maximum performance, and McLaren continued to introduce upgrades throughout the season, reinforcing the car’s adaptability and speed across all circuits.

    Subtle Changes to a Winning Livery

    Unveiled at the F1 75 launch event on 18 February 2025 at London’s O2 Arena, the MCL39’s livery remained largely consistent with 2024, preserving McLaren’s iconic papaya colour palette accented with anthracite and a hint of teal. Subtle updates included refreshed driver numbers and a new race seat, while elements from the geometric camouflage design shown on pre-season filming day were incorporated into the driver race suits. A diagonal cut-through integrated anthracite into the papaya aesthetic, maintaining visual continuity with the team’s Championship-winning heritage while giving the MCL39 a distinct 2025 identity.

    2025 Season Summary

    The MCL39 proved immensely reliable and consistently competitive in the hands of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri throughout a full calendar of challenging circuits. Norris claimed the season-opening win in Australia to seize the early initiative in the title battle, but Piastri responded with four victories across the next five rounds - in China, where he led home a McLaren 1-2, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Miami, securing a second 1-2 finish - to take the lead in the standings himself. Norris then returned to winning form in Monaco, while Piastri triumphed in Spain, as the duo continued to tussle closely for the championship advantage.

    Canada proved a flashpoint, as the pair collided on the main straight. Piastri managed to continue, while Norris, taking full responsibility for the incident, retired with terminal damage - McLaren’s first retirement of the season. The team bounced back with four consecutive 1-2 finishes: Norris led home in Austria, Britain, and Hungary, while Piastri claimed victory in Belgium. The Australian added another win in the Netherlands, though Norris suffered the team’s only mechanical retirement of the season.

    In the latter part of the year, title rival Max Verstappen of Red Bull hit top form, winning six of the remaining nine races. Piastri’s own performances dipped slightly, starting with a crash in Azerbaijan - where Norris finished seventh - followed by four races without a podium. Despite this, McLaren secured the Constructors’ Championship in Singapore with six races remaining. Norris and Verstappen closed the gap on Piastri in the Drivers’ standings, with Norris overtaking his teammate in Mexico and extending his advantage in Brazil. A setup error led to both McLarens being disqualified in Las Vegas due to a technical regulations breach, leaving Verstappen level on points with Piastri and just two races behind Norris. In the closing rounds, Verstappen won in Qatar ahead of Piastri, while Norris finished fourth, setting up a three-driver showdown at Abu Dhabi. Verstappen won again in the finale, beating Piastri, but Norris claimed the final podium position and secured his maiden Drivers’ Championship by just two points.

    Overall, the McLaren MCL39 earned fourteen wins, twenty further podiums, thirteen pole positions and twelve fastest laps, scoring 833 points and securing McLaren a second successive World Constructors’ Championship and a first World Drivers’ Championship since 2008. Both Norris and Piastri enjoyed their best seasons in Formula 1 to date, the former winning the Drivers’ title with 423 points, whilst Piastri claimed third in the standings with 410 points respectively.

    2025 Australian Grand Prix Race Report

    This fine race weathered model of the McLaren MCL39 precisely replicates the #4 car raced to victory by Lando Norris in the Louis Vuitton Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park Circuit on the 16th of March 2025. Norris converted his pole position into a commanding performance in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix, a race defined by changing weather, multiple Safety Cars, and late-race showers. After an aborted start caused by Isack Hadjar spinning on the formation lap, Norris got away cleanly to maintain the lead into Turn 1, fending off challenges from Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri. A Safety Car was deployed almost immediately when Jack Doohan crashed his Alpine, and at the subsequent restart, Norris pulled away from Verstappen, who himself eventually ran wide allowing Piastri to reclaim second. By Lap 25, Norris’ lead over Piastri stood at just under two seconds, while Verstappen was already around ten seconds behind. After navigating backmarker traffic, the McLarens were free to race, though Piastri soon ran wide at Turn 6 and dropped three seconds. Further drama unfolded on lap 34 when Fernando Alonso crashed heavily, prompting another Safety Car and a flurry of pit stops. At the end of Lap 41, Norris managed the restart perfectly to retain his lead over Piastri and Verstappen.

    As the race entered its closing stages, late rainfall on lap 44 caused both McLarens to briefly leave the track and over the grass at Turn 12. Norris remained unscathed and immediately pitted for intermediates, Piastri agonisingly ending up rearwards in the Turn 13 run-off. Verstappen stayed out for two more laps before also switching to inters, creating renewed pressure for the leader. A final Safety Car period, prompted by accidents for Gabriel Bortoleto and Liam Lawson, regrouped the field for a tense final battle to the flag. Norris expertly held position through the restart, fending off Verstappen’s late charge. In the final laps, Norris maintained composure and crossed the line to claim his fifth career victory, marking McLaren’s first Australian Grand Prix win since 2012. Piastri mounted a late recovery to finish ninth, overtaking Lewis Hamilton. Norris and McLaren had delivered a commanding start to the 2025 season.

    The McLaren MCL39 is limited to just 39 race weathered pieces at 1:18 scale.

    Note: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not feature any moving parts.

    Magsafe car mount for a Tesla screen that is easy to adjust and holds the phone very well
    Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder, Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
    I installed this mount on my 2018 Tesla Model 3 main display and it was easy to install - just loosen the wheels on the top and side clamp, put it in place and then tighten the clamps back down. There is a ball mount on the back which tightens as well that allows you to position and angle the phone mount so you can tilt it up or down or towards the driver. You can adjust the phone on the mount to where you want it - although the bar that holds the phone will hit the clamps in two spots so there are a couple of positions that don't work due to the design, but overall you can more or less put the phone where you want and and then tilt it any which way to you. The magnet connection is very firm but the phone also detaches relatively easily. The clamps so far are holding well on the screen. I really don't have a lot of complaints - except maybe that there's a couple of positions that don't work. It works well, installs quickly and easily and seems to hold well in use. I've had no problems so ar.

    Mostly reliable to use
    Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
    It's nice to use in my car to separate out different needs like looking up a specific route while moving and the navigation is going somewhere. The magnet is pretty strong and haven't had any issues with that. However, if you dont put it in the corner of the screen to secure it at a right angle, the flat way to secure it in the middle of the top edge is not reliable at all. The weight of the phone and the angle of the mount makes it really easy to fall off the screen no matter how tight you secure it down. Fell at least a handful of times. Just put it at the corners and you'll be just fine.

    Does not fit the Cybertruck. Will slip off due to angled backplate.
    Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder, Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
    It does not fit the Cybertruck well. Due to the angled monitor back, it will slide off. Check the video of what I mean. It is not flat like the Model 3 or Ys. The mount should work fine on the Model 3 and Model Y and Newer Model S and X, but not on the Cybertruck and older vertical screen Model S and X. The Magsafe that I received must of been broken. It completely fell apart. Everytime I put on phone on it, the Magsafe will completely come off stuck to my phone.

    Looks good, installs easily but the arm jitters on the road
    Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder, Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
    Super easy and intuitive to install on my Tesla model 3. Once installed, I think it will probably hold position indefinitely. You can install it so that it is in a very convenient position. my right hand index finger was able to touch the screen of my phone while maintaining contact with the handle, so that should give you an idea. The reason I took 2 stars off is the way the goose neck jitters when driving. I think perhaps it is too thin. I drove on normal paved road, and the shakes were noticeable. It didn’t fall off at any point, but it made me nervous that it might. The magnet didn’t feel that strong either. A lot of people own phones larger and heavier than mine (iPhone 12 mini), so I’m reluctant to recommend.
