SEBASTIAN VETTEL JAPANESE GP 2023
BUZZIN' CORNER
Born from BUZZIN' CORNER, a Memory Etched in Suzuka
This model began with a moment at BUZZIN' CORNER, located at Turn 2 of Suzuka Circuit during the 2023 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, where we encountered Sebastian Vettel in person.
His deep appreciation for Japanese F1 fans, and his unwavering commitment to the environment and the future—these moments and values deserved to be preserved as a lasting memory. From that wish, the BUZZIN' CORNER model was born. This is a special 1/43 scale model, exclusively commissioned by 7.COLLECTION, capturing the spirit of Suzuka in miniature.
Capturing That Day in Suzuka
The base recreates the iconic yellow and black curbing of Suzuka Circuit’s Turn 2, BUZZIN' CORNER. The packaging features a commemorative photograph of Sebastian Vettel alongside all F1 drivers, taken against the backdrop of BUZZIN' CORNER itself.
The figure depicts Vettel waving to the fans in Suzuka, a gesture of gratitude that goes beyond race results. The back of the package also includes Vettel’s results from the Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit. Together, these details preserve the shared memories between Sebastian Vettel and Suzuka, carried forward through this model.
Together with the "SAVE THE BEE" Helmet
The model features the Aston Martin AMR22 in its 2022 Austrian Grand Prix specification, paired with Sebastian Vettel’s iconic “SAVE THE BEE” helmet. Like BUZZIN' CORNER, the bee serves as a symbol—representing his strong message of environmental protection and awareness.
Both the car and helmet are meticulously reproduced to reflect the real machine in precise detail, resulting in a collector’s model that carries not only accuracy, but also meaning and story.
Finally, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to Spark Japan, Minimax, and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team for their invaluable support in bringing this model to life.
