Ferrari F2012 (2012) European Grand Prix

Contact us

Driven by former World Champion Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, the F2012 was built to be Ferrari’s competitor in the 2012 FIA Formula One World Championship® season. A reliable runner, Ferrari recorded the least retirements of the season and each of those three retirements were all collision related. An underwhelming pre-season led to an initially poor start to the season. Ferrari denied the car was underperforming but Alonso was struggling to challenge for podium places whilst Massa only scored once in the first four races. There was a brief respite in Malaysia as Alonso took advantage of the F2012’s superior ability in poor weather conditions and mistakes by Sergio Pérez to take victory.

At in-season testing at Mugello, Ferrari tried different solutions of exhaust system in order to improve traction of the car and to make it less sensitive to throttle position, improving its handling characteristics. This seemed to do the trick and Alonso qualified third in Spain before finishing in second place during the race. In Monaco, both cars made it into Q3 for the first time in the year and Alonso took another podium. Victories followed in the European Grand Prix and in Germany and consistent podiums were achieved for the rest of the season, excluding blips in Hungary and Belgium. The season culminated in a 2-3 finish in Brazil, meaning Ferrari finished their season with their highest weekend points haul. Overall, the F2012 earned the team three wins, twelve further podiums and 400 Constructors’ points. Ferrari ultimately finished second in the Constructors’ Championship, 60 points behind Red Bull.

This fine scale model is a perfect 1:8 large scale replica of the Ferrari F2012 as raced to victory in Valencia in the 2012 season by Fernando Alonso. Triumph at Valencia was Fernando Alonso’s second win with the F2012. Although the Spaniard started only 11th, he soon climbed forward to the lead in front of the adoring home crowd. He was helped by a safety car period and by Vettel’s retirement, nevertheless he drove a faultless race to take top step on the podium. This model has been hand-crafted utilising the original CAD data supplied directly by Ferrari GES and has undergone strict scrutiny by both the design and engineering teams to ensure complete accuracy.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
  • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
  • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
  • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
