F1 - Ferrari 248F1 - Felipe Massa - Hotwheels Racing

Let's go RED again! This is the Ferrari 248F1 model driven by Felipe Massa in 2006. I guess the 248 stands for 2.4 litre V8 engine capacity on the car. This is Massa's first season with Ferrari after driving for Sauber Petronas previously. He must have undergone some great challenges and stress coz his team mate is the one and only... Michael Schumacher! So who's gonna beat who now? You know the drill...



Anyway, as for the car model itself, it looks great! Hotwheels did a decent job on the Ferrari F1 car... However, certain decals such as the alcohol and cigarettes sponsors are not allowed to attach as liveries. So certain parts of the car are white, where the Marlboro/barcode liveries are supposed to be at... thus making the car look kinda plain... The 248F1 is a pretty unique looking car especially on the side mirrors. From a certain angle you might feel that Massa is holding his hand up but actually it's the side mirror doing the trick!
