My collection of Sebastian Vettel 1:8 Minichamps helmets from the races where he secured his Formula 1 world championships.

I currently have the Abu Dhabi 2010, Japan 2011 and Brazil 2012 versions. Sadly, Minichamps never released the 2013 championship winning helmet, so the collection will probably never be fully complete.

One detail I absolutely love is the 2012 Brazil helmet. On the back it features two smiley faces representing his two previous world championships, something Vettel had already been doing since his Formula BMW days by adding smiley faces for victories.

The model looks fantastic in person and it’s definitely one of my favourite pieces in the collection now.

I also absolutely love the photo of Vettel on the podium that comes on the box.
