McLaren MP4-23 - 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix - Hamilton

联系我们

Driven by Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen, the MP4-23 was McLaren’s contender for the 2008 FIA Formula One World Championship season. An evolution of the highly competitive MP4-22, the 23 was designed to claim the mantle of World Constructors’ Champions back from Ferrari. The car's development was highly focused on aerodynamics, with the most notable change being the higher nosecone. Additionally, work was put into the sidepods, engine cooling, the front suspension, airbox surroundings, T-wings and the wheelbase.

After a good pre-season testing, where the car showed a similar pace to the Ferrari F2008, the MP4-23 scored a debut race win, as Hamilton claimed pole before converting it into victory. Podiums followed in Malaysia, Spain and Turkey before a second Hamilton win in Monaco. Further wins for Hamilton at Silverstone and Hockenheim put Hamilton top in the Drivers’ Championship whilst McLaren were falling behind Ferrari in the Constructors’ title race. Kovalainen scored his maiden victory in Hungary while consistent podiums for Hamilton in the European Grand Prix, Belgium and Singapore kept Hamilton top of the pile. A win at the penultimate race in China meant that Hamilton led his closest rival Felipe Massa by seven points going into the final race. Massa won the race in Brazil but Hamilton passed Timo Glock for fifth position in the final few corners, sealing his Drivers’ Championship win with the narrowest of margins.

Overall, the MP4-23 was driven to six victories, seven further podiums, scored 151 Championship points and won one Drivers’ Championship. Hamilton claimed his maiden title win with five race wins and five further podiums, scoring 98 points. This was eleven points less than the year before, when he lost out on winning the title by just one point.

This fine 1:8 scale model of the McLaren MP4-23 is an exact replica of the car in which Lewis Hamilton clinched his first world title at the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix. It has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops using detailed colour and material specifications, and original CAD data supplied directly from the drawing office of McLaren.

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.
