So, since HotWheels Elite will say goodbye to the prancing horse by the end of this year we can obvious start seeing them rushing. I say that because we already got final pictures of the upcoming 2013 Ferrari F1 car. (normally it would be released very well after the end of the 2014 season, judging by the F2012 release). I've also read that they will make the 2014 Ferrari F1 cars as well but don't know if they had the time too (at least properly since under normal conditions we'd have to wait an extra year).
So here are the official pictures found on their website:

Cheers

Looks beautiful, kind of surprised that Alonso is not in the car.

All the Elite F1's do not have the driver in the car.
The pre-Elite F1's do have.

True, HotWheels Elite series never had drivers in them. Only the non-elite foundation series have them in. I have to admit that I like more the driver not to be in it since the model should focus on the car itself. I don't like Minichamps' way that put the drivers in. But it's just my preference. Great detail though by HWE. Too bad it's gonna be their last one.
