October 21, 2025 – UK

The unmistakable roar of a classic Formula 1 legend echoed through the test track this weekend as young motorsport enthusiast and rising social media star @olliethecarkid got behind the wheel of our Williams FW14-Junior at Half Scale Cars.

In a special test drive arranged exclusively for Ollie, the iconic half-scale replica of the Williams FW14B — one of F1’s most legendary machines — was put through its paces by the junior driver. Dressed in a matching racing suit and helmet, Ollie looked every bit the part as he channeled the spirit of Mansell around the circuit.

Built with precision and passion, the FW14-Junior combines the heritage of 90s Grand Prix racing with cutting-edge half-scale engineering. Powered by a 4-stroke petrol engine and constructed with a hand-built aluminium chassis, the FW14-Junior offers real driving performance — not just a lookalike.

"It’s the coolest car I’ve ever driven!" said Ollie after stepping out of the cockpit with a huge grin. "It feels like a real F1 car — just my size!"

Ollie's test session not only showcased the car’s capabilities but also brought motorsport history to a new generation of fans. With over 100,000 followers across platforms, his passion for cars is infectious, making him the perfect ambassador for inspiring future drivers.

This collaboration marks a new milestone for Half Scale Cars as we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in junior motorsport experiences. Whether it's a collector’s dream or a young racer's first taste of F1 glory, our FW14-Junior is designed to thrill.
