This 1:18 diecast model replicates the Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber C44 #77 driven by Valtteri Bottas at the 2024 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola. The car is immediately recognizable by its striking high-contrast black and fluorescent green livery.   

Entering the European leg with a package of aerodynamic upgrades, Sauber struggled to find front-running pace across the weekend. After qualifying 16th and narrowly missing out on Q2, Bottas faced an uphill battle on Sunday on a circuit notorious for limited overtaking opportunities. Running a consistent race but handicapped by straight-line deficit and car balance, the Finnish driver crossed the finish line in 18th place.
