Quite possibly the most beautiful Formula 1 car to ever race, and most definitely one of the most iconic post-war race cars, the Maserati 250F was remarkable as much for the longevity of its successful racing career as the list of drivers who graced its steering wheel. The 250F raced at the pinnacles of motorsport in an age of rapid development, debuting in 1954 and still battling hard in 1960, spanning a golden though often difficult and dangerous era of Grand Prix racing. Most famously raced by two of the greats in Grand Prix history, Juan Manuel Fangio and Stirling Moss, the 250F is widely considered the definitive front-engine Grand Prix racer.

Born out of the 2.5 litre regulations new for the 1954 Formula 1 season, the 250F followed the lines of Maserati's Formula 2 racers of 1952 and 1953. Former Ferrari engineers Gioacchino Colombo and Valerio Colotti were lured from Maranello to Modena to work alongside project lead Giulio Alfieri. A simple tubular frame carried the suspension, aluminium body panels and engine. The front suspension was independent by wishbones and coil springs. The rear used a DeDion type axle, made popular by the front engined Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix racers of the 1930s. All in all, the setup was far from revolutionary, but the straightforward design did make it a popular choice with privateers, including a certain Stirling Moss, who purchased one with his race winnings.

For 1957, an all-new multi-tubular spaceframe chassis was laid down. It followed the same lines but was considerably lighter and stronger than the much more conventional original. The drum brakes remained, though with improved stopping power and cooling characteristics. The latest version of the straight six engine was carried over but was not mounted off-set in the new ‘Tipo 2’ or ‘T2’ chassis. Work on a brand-new engine with twin overhead camshafts commenced in 1956. An engineering work of art, the 2.5 litre V12 produced 320 bhp at a startling 12,000 rpm. That was a whole 50 bhp more than the straight six. The V12 would only make one racing appearance for the works team, before the cash-strapped marque retired from international racing at the end of the 1957 season. It remained the most powerful car built during the 2.5 litre era.

In all, the 250F was entered into 46 Formula 1 World Championship races through a mammoth 277 entries, earning eight victories, eight pole positions and 10 fastest laps. Success was not limited to official events, with race wins coming at Goodwood, Pescara, Pau, Aintree, Oulton Park, Modena, Buenos Aires, Rome and Bordeaux, to name a few. Famous drivers include Fangio and Moss, who took all eight of those official victories, and also Jean Behra, Hans Herrmann, Jo Bonnier, Masten Gregory, Maria Teresa de Filippis, Peter Collins, Roy Salvadori and Luigi Musso. 26 cars were built over the course of the 250F’s five year production span and every car was unique, constructed with differing features as the design evolved. Other cars may have been more successful, but few have ever done it with such style.

This fine 1:18 scale model of the Maserati 250F is a perfect replica of the car raced to a legendary victory by Juan Manuel Fangio in the German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring on the 4th August 1957. Regularly cited as Fangio’s greatest drive, if not the greatest in all racing history, the 46-year old Argentine overturned a deficit of almost a minute to win the race and his fifth World title. Fangio started on pole ahead of the Ferrari Mike Hawthorn, but whilst the Ferrari would run a traditional non-stop race, the Maserati would be pitting for fresh tyres and fuel. A slow start would see the Argentine drop behind Hawthorn and his teammate Peter Collins, starting from fourth, but Fangio would retake the lead on lead three. He maintained his lead, setting four new lap records in the process, eventually pulling in for his pit stop at the end of lap 12.

The pit stop was a disaster; the mechanic removing the rear left wheel lost the wheel nut under the car, taking half a minute to find it. Fangio entered the pit lane with a 28 second advantage; he left 48 seconds behind Collins in second place, who himself had gone faster than Fangio’s new record. After a couple of laps running in his tyres, Fangio began to mount a charge, gaining as much as a second per mile on lap 15. Setting lap record after lap record, the Argentine reeled in his Ferrari rivals overtaking both on the twenty-first and penultimate lap, holding the British duo to take a race victory by 2.8 seconds that would forever cement his and the 250F’s names in Formula 1 folklore for ever more. Perhaps it was fitting then, that this would be the last victory Fangio would take in Formula 1.

Note: This is a 'Kerbside' model and does not any feature moving parts.

This monitor is spectacular for the price. I am very pleased with it.
Size: 27 Inch
It arrived in tact and has zero blemishes or dead pixels. That's saying something when you have this many pixels too. The Freesync works great, it's fairly bright and the colors are amazing. They need to be detuned quite a lot since the gamut is way higher than most content is created for. Gaming is fantastic. I do not seem to have the advertised 1080P high FPS mode though. Perhaps they crossed up some of the promotional information for a different model. Still, I am very much enjoying 160Hz at 4k. I am playing through games again just to see them so clearly, and that's going from a 2k monitor of the same size. This display is superior. I wish the power button that's modeled to look like a joystick actually was one, don't be caught off guard by that. It's just a button. I knew that when I bought it but still. Kinda... iffy to make it look like one. I mounted the monitor on an arm. It weighs very little so it was easy. I never used the included stand, but it's very sturdy and I love that is flips vertically too. The headphone jack works nicely for my powered speakers and it switches between display port and HDMI correctly. My last monitor had to be restarted each time I went back to Display Port to get audio back. This monitor at the price I paid is insanely good. I'd been waiting for years for a good 4K panel with high refresh rate at 27". By far my favorite monitor size. I have zero intention of changing or upgrading from this panel until μLED is finally available. If this panel dies, I will get another until then.

Great with one annoyance
Very nice + hi-res. Each pixel is sharp thanks, I presume, to IPS. One criticism: there's no way to tell whether it's supposed to be 'on', except by seeing a picture. Very frustrating when the graphics card and the monitor at startup both kind of go: "Are you on? No? Then I'll turn back off." for what seems like 2 seconds and you have to try to guess whether the monitor is actually on. You can look down the slots at the back for lights, but one that's easier to see would be nice. Anyway, as you'll have seen, it has a literal 15:10 aspect ratio (even better than 16:10) so this is a rare monitor that's better for documents than the 16:9 monitors that are made for movies. I think the monitor may be a little small for ~4K, but you can't complain for the price. Would buy again, but please, give it an 'on' light.

I works fine so far as work display, not the cheapest but metal stand legs and overall good quality
Except the tiny stereo speakers that are a joke , just marketing since they are utterly useless as volume is so low. The 3 or 4 inputs available is great addition. The panel input buttons on the side works ergonomically when changing inputs and brightness (you will be changing brightness a lot during the day, trust me. It is not very bright but with 100%brightness is barely usable in low light indoor, at night it needs to go down to 25 ~20% instead. The images, (text) is crisp since 4K+ and extra lines gives more screen space for working , not the ideal format to watch movies as you know.Any case, I like it and recommend it. Color gamut and HDR 10 is just marketing but for text display and working space , works fine

Need to set 60Hz manually - otherwise "No Signal"
Size: 34
Works great as an office monitor - however the HDMI connection defaults to 3440x1440 at 100Hz and the monitor treats that as "No Signal" - it didn't actually work until I went into the display settings and changed it to 60Hz manually. The manual doesn't mention this defect at all, and I have no idea how a non-technical user would know to try this. The size is perfect for office work, especially compared to a 27" monitor which always feels just a little bit too small. The image quality is identical to a more expensive LG 27" monitor that I have next to it (it's a 4K running at 1440p to match pixel density). I don't use the speaker so I don't care about the sound quality. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on gaming usage. The package includes VESA mount standoffs and even a screwdriver, so I was able to mount it to a monitor arm just with what was in the box! It's too bad that I couldn't order it without a stand, I hate to just throw that part away.

A Great Monitor: The Dell UltraSharp U4025QW Delivers
I recently invested in the Dell UltraSharp U4025QW and I am very happy with my choice. For anyone involved in creative/productivity type work like audio and video editing, spreadsheets, etc., this monitor won’t disappoint. The color and clarity are visually stunning. The 5K2K WUHD resolution on the 40-inch screen makes every detail pop, and the text is crystal clear, it makes a huge difference during long editing sessions. Videos look incredibly rich, and I'm noticing details in my footage I hadn't seen before. The 40” size is perfect for my work. The ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio provides an enormous amount of screen real estate. I can have my editing timelines, mixer boards, and reference windows open all at the same time without constantly going back and forth between windows. The built-in hub functionality is also a plus for this monitor. The assortment of extra ports are incredibly convenient. It is a large investment but it’s a quality product. Highly recommended.
