Felipe Massa 2009
Ferrari F60 - Early Season
Limited Edition
Ferrari METALLIC RED Finish
This is a BRAND NEW, NEVER OPENED, 1/18 scale collector's replica produced by HotWheels Racing Elite. This is a detailed replica of the F2008 driven by Felipe Massa during the European GP at Valencia, Spain. The F2008 was unveiled to the public on January 6, 2008. It featured a new standard Electronic Control Unit (ECU) included to comply with the new regulations. The ECU removed most of the driver aids used in previous seasons, including traction control, engine braking and electronically assisted starting system.
The car also weighted more than last season's F2007 chassis due to rule changes which includes the gearbox which has to be used for four consecutive races and higher side protection around the drivers helmet. Here it is proposed in the 2008 European GP that took place in Valencia. It was a great race for Massa who demonstrated to the whole world the Ferrari's capacity to be competitive: pole position, fastest lap and race winner.
The win catapulted Massa back to second place in the championship, ahead of team mate and World Champion Kimi Raikkonen who retired in the closing stages with a spectacular engine failure. Size: 10" The pictures shown are of a display model. The one that you will receive is brand new in an unopened box.
