Spark 1:18 Mercedes W17 Petronas F1 Team No.63 George Russell Japanese GP 2026 (18S1275) Resin Model

Add a Formula 1 race car to your collection with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team W17 No.63 4th Japanese GP 2026. This officially licensed replica represents the Mercedes-AMG entry that finished fourth at Suzuka, driven by George Russell.

The W17 is the Mercedes-AMG works chassis built to the 2026 Formula 1 technical regulations, which introduced a new generation of power unit with a significantly larger share of electrical energy alongside the internal combustion element, and revised aerodynamic rules aimed at closer racing. Mercedes-AMG continued its long-running partnership with PETRONAS as title sponsor and INEOS as principal partner, with development led from the team’s Brackley and Brixworth bases. The chassis carries forward the team’s emphasis on driver comfort and balance through fast direction changes, attributes that have characterised recent Silver Arrows campaigns. George Russell entered the season as the senior race driver, partnered by Andrea Kimi Antonelli in his second full year at the team. Suzuka, a circuit demanding precise front-end response through the Esses and 130R, remains one of the most respected venues on the calendar.

At the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, the W17 contested the race against the Red Bull, McLaren, Ferrari and Aston Martin entries fighting for podium positions. Russell brought the No.63 car home in fourth place, narrowly outside the rostrum after a measured run through the tyre phases at Suzuka. The result added useful constructors’ points to the Mercedes-AMG tally and underlined the team’s competitiveness at a circuit that rewards consistent mid- and high-speed aero performance.

Made by Spark Models in 1:18 scale, this resin model measures approximately 27cm and is presented on a branded display base under a clear acrylic case. At this scale the bodywork, suspension detail, sponsor identification and cockpit area are all clearly legible, making it a substantial centrepiece compared to the more common 1:43 grid cars. This release is supplied with a driver figurine alongside the car, allowing the model to be displayed as a pit or grid scene.

A strong choice for Mercedes-AMG F1 collectors, George Russell followers and enthusiasts building a 2026-season grid in 1:18 scale, as well as those who specifically collect Japanese Grand Prix entries from Suzuka.

Understanding Scale

The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
