Despite his departure from Formula 1 for the 2025 season, Sergio 'Checo' Pérez remains a beloved driver among auto racing fans. Recently, his successful career has been recognized by Hot Wheels, which has launched a collection of Formula 1 cars featuring the Mexican driver.
The collaboration between Sergio Pérez and Hot Wheels was announced in October, and the official pre-sale began on January 24. The collection includes eight Formula 1 teams, except for Ferrari and Aston Martin. Although there is no exact date for the delivery of these collectible cars, it is estimated to be between June and July of this year.
The pre-sale of these collectible cars was conducted on the website creations.mattel.com, and the first to sell out was the Checo Pérez model, followed by Franco Colapinto's. Some users are trying to sell the Checo Pérez collectible car on sites like Amazon or eBay at a price much higher than the original from Hot Wheels, reaching up to $60 (around 1,200 Mexican pesos).
If you are interested in obtaining the Checo Pérez collectible car, one alternative would be to wait for it to be available in physical Mattel stores in Mexico. With the success and popularity of the Mexican driver, this launch has generated great anticipation among his followers and collectors worldwide.
