Hot Wheels has announced the expansion of its Formula 1 collection with the addition of eight new 1:64 scale model cars that can be paired to two unique track sets.
Though the Singles models are the cheapest way onto the grid — Hot Wheels said they are priced at £2.30 (R53.25) in the UK — the more expensive Premium models (£11.50 or R266.27) are probably worth the extra investment as they offer Formula 1 fans more detailed liveries, a metal body and chassis, Pirelli branded tyres and a driver squeezed inside the teeny cockpit. They also include a display plinth and specialised packaging enhance their collectability.

Eight teams are represented in both series including McLaren, Red Bull, Mercedes, Alpine, Haas, Racing Bulls, Williams and Sauber. Ferrari and Aston Martin are sadly absent.
The entry-level (£44.99 or R1,041.68) Sprint Race oval circuit features a throttle pedal booster and lap counter while the longer and more deluxe Grand Prix oval circuit (£79.99 or R1,852.06) ups the racing ante with an additional overtaking lane and a pair of manual DRS diverters.
