A Guide to Model Scales

What do the numbers indicate?

The first number, 1, represents the actual real-life object. The number following the colon or forward slash (e.g., 24, 43, etc.), indicates how many times smaller the model is than the real-life object.

How do you read out the scale verbally correctly?

There are various ways to read out the scale verbally, all of which are equally correct and commonly used. For example, with 1:24 (or 1/24), you can say 'one twenty-fourth', 'one to twenty-four', 'one twenty-four', or even simply 'twenty-fourth scale'.

But what are the exact measurements of the models?

We have Formula 1 models at standard length. 1/24 (approximately 23.5 cm) and 1/43 (approximately 13cm) respectively.

It is widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport and features some of the world's best racing drivers and technologically advanced cars.

How does Formula 1 racing work?

F1 is a team sport, but the drivers are more like fighter pilots than sportspeople. Battling extreme g-forces, making daring decisions in the blink of an eye – and at 370km/h. To be the best, F1 drivers push themselves – and their incredibly innovative machines – to the very limit.

Who are the top Formula 1 drivers?

The top Formula 1 drivers are often household names and include legendary figures such as Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Fernando Alonso. These drivers have achieved numerous victories and championships throughout their careers and are considered among the greatest in the history of the sport.

What are the key components of a Formula 1 car?

Formula 1 cars are highly complex machines that incorporate cutting-edge technology and engineering. Key components of a Formula 1 car include the chassis, engine, aerodynamics, suspension, and tires, all of which are meticulously designed and optimised for maximum performance and speed.

How is the Formula 1 season structured?

The Formula 1 season typically consists of a series of races held from March to December each year. The season is divided into individual Grand Prix events, each held at a different circuit around the world. Drivers accumulate points based on their finishing positions in each race, with the driver and team amassing the most points over the course of the season crowned as the World Drivers' and Constructors' Champions, respectively.
