Does anyone here knows the model of the laser printer and the paper used in the models by F1 Team ? Those models have a nice glossy look that I never got using inkjet printers. Link to a image of the model

I'm interested to find out as well. Have you tried asking the guys at Forum Team on Facebook?
I haven't bought their kits yet, but I found that the paper used by Czech/Slovak publishers is very different from the cardstock I have access to. It's very fine and white, and curving/bending feels very dynamic, allowing cleaner builds.
I also have an ABC collection of F1 cars, and they seem like digital prints, but the print is not glossy. I found that this kind of print was less sensitive to scratches, and doesn't smudge in water as well. Would be nice if I can find out what print it is.

I don´t know what uses FT now, but in the past I was said the best is Canon C1 printer. Nowadays it is already an old type of a printer, so something new was found. I bought myself a laser printer last winter. I was looking for something cheap, so I have bought the HP 178nw. It is slow, but it gives the glossy look to prints. You can check my Sauber C29 sidepods, it was already printed by it. i.imgur.com/seUEzG1.jpgBTW. the tyres I still print on inkjet

But laser prints always have raster on the colors, because they are put together from 3 - 4 separate colors. And there are the differences between cheap printers and professional laser printers - which have higher DPI ratio.
Inkjets have no raster, I understand because their basic colors are liquid and they blend to each other.
