Extract from our Diecast Monthly Magazine BR69 - July 2009

Minichamps is releasing plenty of ‘First Win’ specials this year, and the next one due is Robert Kubica’s BMW from the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal.

There the Pole drove a calm race while those around him lost their heads (Hamilton rammed Raikkonen in the pit lane and Alonso also crashed out) to lead home team-mate Nick Heidfeld to his, and the team’s, first Grand Prix win.

This replica will be different to the original release in that it will come with the specific Canadian Grand Prix aero package, which included, among other things, the removal of the nose-mounted ‘horns’ and also a revised rear wing profile. The model will be a limited edition and is due with us before the end of July.
