Limited Edition Minichamps 1:43 scale replica model Williams-BMW FW23, as driven by Ralf Schumacher in free practice for the San Marino Grand Prix, featuring the message "Keep your distance!" displayed on the rear wing following several rear-end shunts in the early races, most notably by Jos Verstappen on Juan Pablo Montoya whilst leading in Brazil, and having just lapped him.

For the race, Ralf set a qualifying time of 1:23.357, taking third spot on the starting grid behind the McLarens of David Coulthard and Mika Hakkinen. He then beat the pair off the line to lead into the first corner and, despite the engine's oil pressure slowly failing in the latter stages, held on the win by 4.352 seconds from Coulthard: securing the FW23's first win, and Ralf's first F1 victory.

This highly detailed model, one from a Limited Edition of 5,701 pieces, inlay and display case, are in excellent pre-owned condition. Please inspect detailed photos to assist your personal assessment.
