1:18 1/18 Ferrari F1 SF-25 No 44 GP Monza Italy Lewis Hamilton 50th World Champion Niki Lauda 2025 hp Shell Ray-Ban Bburago

The Ferrari F1 SF-25 #44 Lewis Hamilton Bburago 1:18 scale model is a special collector's item that brings one of the most fascinating Ferrari Formula 1 cars from the 2025 season to motorsport enthusiasts. This highly detailed model represents the Ferrari SF-25 bearing number 44, driven by Lewis Hamilton for Scuderia Ferrari, with this special edition associated with his appearance at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix in Monza, Italy. Manufactured in 1:18 scale by licensed manufacturer Bburago, the model's larger scale allows the characteristic body lines, aerodynamic elements, cockpit, wheels, tires and distinctive Ferrari livery to be displayed in impressive detail.

The real Ferrari SF-25 was the 71st Formula 1 car built by Ferrari and represented an entirely new car developed for the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship. Its chassis was constructed from composite materials featuring a carbon-fiber honeycomb core, while carbon fiber was also extensively used for the bodywork and seat. A Halo safety system was incorporated to protect the driver. The minimum total weight of the car, including the driver, water and oil, was 800 kg, while both the front and rear wheels had an 18-inch diameter, in accordance with the Formula 1 technical regulations introduced with the latest generation of cars.

At the heart of the Ferrari SF-25 was the Ferrari 066/15 power unit. It featured a 1.6-liter V6 engine with a 90-degree cylinder bank angle, a precise displacement of 1,600 cm³, direct fuel injection and a single turbocharger. The engine had six cylinders, an 80 mm cylinder bore and a 53 mm piston stroke, while its maximum permitted engine speed was 15,000 rpm. Each cylinder featured four valves, while direct fuel injection pressure could reach as much as 500 bar. The maximum regulated fuel flow was 100 kg/h. These figures clearly demonstrate just how different the Ferrari SF-25 power unit is from the engines found in conventional road cars.

The Ferrari SF-25 did not rely solely on its internal combustion engine, but used an advanced Formula 1 hybrid powertrain. The Energy Recovery System, or ERS, incorporated electric motor-generators and a lithium-ion battery with a minimum weight of 20 kg. The battery system had an energy capacity of 4 MJ, while the MGU-K electric motor-generator could deliver up to 120 kW, equivalent to approximately 163 hp. The MGU-K could reach speeds of up to 50,000 rpm, while the MGU-H, connected to the turbocharger system, could reach an astonishing 125,000 rpm. The combination of the V6 turbocharged engine and electrical energy provided total power estimated at around 900 hp, making the SF-25 an exceptionally powerful and technologically advanced racing car.

Power was delivered to the rear wheels through a longitudinally mounted Ferrari sequential gearbox with 8 forward gears and one reverse gear. The gearbox was operated through controls on the steering wheel, including paddle shifters behind the wheel, allowing extremely rapid gear changes without the conventional gear lever found in road cars. The rear differential was hydraulically controlled, while the entire transmission system was engineered to make the most efficient use of the power unit's performance during acceleration and corner exits.

The Ferrari SF-25 braking system also represented the highest level of racing technology. The car used self-ventilated carbon brake discs from Brembo on both the front and rear axles, while the rear brakes incorporated an electronically controlled hydraulic system. The carbon braking system was specifically designed to operate at extremely high temperatures and withstand enormous loads. Bringing a Formula 1 car to a controlled stop from high speed requires exceptional precision, while the braking system also plays an important role in energy recovery through the MGU-K system.

One of the major technical changes introduced on the SF-25 was its front suspension. Ferrari moved from the previous push-rod configuration to a pull-rod front suspension system, while the rear suspension also used a pull-rod architecture. The SF-25 therefore featured pull-rod suspension on both axles, making it a particularly interesting technical solution. The change to the front suspension was not made solely for mechanical reasons, but primarily to improve airflow around the front section of the car and create additional opportunities for aerodynamic development. The suspension geometry also helped control the car's behavior under braking and allowed engineers to optimize the ride height, which is important for generating aerodynamic downforce through the floor.

Aerodynamics are one of the key reasons why the Ferrari SF-25 looks completely different from any conventional road car. The front wing, rear wing, side aerodynamic elements, air intakes, floor and diffuser work together to generate aerodynamic grip that keeps the car pressed against the track surface. In a modern Formula 1 car, the floor plays an extremely important role because air is accelerated underneath the car, creating a low-pressure area and additional downforce. This is why every change in ride height, suspension geometry or floor design can have a significant effect on the car's overall performance.

The SF-25 used Pirelli 18-inch tires, with technical specifications listing front tire dimensions of approximately 305/720 R18 and rear tire dimensions of 405/720 R18. The front and rear tires have different widths because the rear axle must transfer an enormous amount of power to the track surface. Wider rear tires provide a larger contact patch and help the car make more effective use of its power during acceleration. Depending on track and weather conditions, Formula 1 uses different slick tire compounds for dry conditions as well as grooved tires for wet conditions.

The Italian Grand Prix at Monza is particularly demanding for a car such as the Ferrari SF-25. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza is famous for its long straights, high speeds and heavy braking zones. For this reason, teams traditionally use a lower-drag aerodynamic configuration in order to achieve the highest possible speeds on the straights. At the same time, the brakes, suspension, tires and power unit must withstand extremely demanding transitions between long periods of acceleration and heavy braking.

The historical connection with legendary Ferrari driver Niki Lauda gives this Ferrari SF-25 model additional significance. For the 2025 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, Ferrari introduced a special livery inspired by the historic Ferrari 312 T, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda's first Formula 1 World Championship title, won in 1975. This created a unique connection between the modern technology of the 2025 Ferrari SF-25 and one of the most important chapters in Scuderia Ferrari's history.

The model faithfully reproduces the distinctive appearance of Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari SF-25, including the recognizable number 44 and sponsor markings from HP, Shell and Ray-Ban. The special Monza decoration further emphasizes the historical character of this edition. Particularly noticeable are the aerodynamic elements such as the front and rear wings, side bodywork elements, air intakes, sculpted nose, wheels, tires, cockpit and Halo safety structure.

At 1:18 scale, the real Formula 1 car is reduced approximately eighteen times, making this an impressive collector's replica compared with smaller models in 1:43 or 1:64 scale. The 1:18 scale provides considerably more space to showcase the characteristic details of a modern F1 car. With this type of model, Bburago focuses on visually reproducing the real racing car, including its body shape, aerodynamic surfaces, wheels, tires, cockpit and distinctive Ferrari livery.

As a collector's item, the Ferrari SF-25 Lewis Hamilton #44 Bburago 1:18 is particularly appealing because of the combination of several important elements. It is a Ferrari Formula 1 car from the 2025 season, the first Ferrari F1 car driven by Lewis Hamilton during his debut season with Scuderia Ferrari, a model featuring a special Monza-inspired appearance and a historical connection to Niki Lauda, as well as a technically fascinating racing car equipped with a 1.6-liter V6 turbo-hybrid power unit, an 8-speed gearbox, a 120 kW MGU-K system, 18-inch wheels, Brembo carbon brakes, pull-rod suspension on both axles and a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis.
