I recall form my childhood Technic formula car where front suspension bent if you crashed it.

I had that one. And the cockpit was the perfect fit for the standard technic figures too.

High quality photos of the sets have been revealed. They'll be released on March 1st. 

LEGO Speed Champions: Formula 1 sets revealed for March 2025!
 

Thoughts? Seeing some comments on X about how similar the sets look - which, while true, I suppose is entirely predictable given how similar modern F1 cars look to each other anyway. 

Hopefully as the range develops, we might get some historic cars that are more technically interesting/different.

I wonder how much it is in £ for me. No issues with Lego on my end

It looks like these are small creations. Not worth the money for me.

Interesting - is it just my eyes deceiving me, or are the models actually slightly different for some cars? (mostly the engine cover)

They aren't deceiving you, they are most definitely different. The lego kits are good like that, there should be subtle differences in all of them.

Okay.. that didn't take long after my last reply for Lego to still grab my money. That Mansell FW14b is now on ore order.

The suitably moustachioed minifig is icing on the cake.

Kinda surprised LEGO got approval from most - if not all main - sponsors to put their names on the cars (Of course the series as a whole would have failed if they had had to "John Newtown" some cars).

 

REALLY surprised they're setting themselves up for the inevitable 'LEGO is selling energy drink adds to kids!!1!' online outcry.

That's why the Red Bull and VCARB are 18+ and the others are 10+ :p

I think F1 teams are legally bound, perhaps via the Concorde Agreement, to sign sponsors under an commercial umbrella contract. Which in turn ties those sponsors not only to the team but also to the commercial side of F1 in general. Meaning that if F1 management opts to do something like this Lego thingy, their sponsorship outings are being used as well.
I really do not think F1 knocks on every corporate door of said sponsors to get an agreement.

Yeah I think that’s roughly how it works. It’s why Codemasters don’t have to get the licence for every driver, team, circuit and sponsor for their games. They just have the all encompassing licence from F1.

I miss the early Geoff Crammond heroes Max Throttle, Wilma Cargo, Peter Out etc.

I totally missed that  :lol: .

 

Nevertheless they'll be on the same shelves so I think you underestimate the professionally outraged.

 

A grand total of 2 complainers got LEGO to pull the Bell Osprey Rescue Helicopter from the shelves over it's military connection (rumor has it LEGO didn't mind as that particular model chewed up it's gears, but I digress).

Lego should have a word how they allowed the Aston to be that green and knowing how popular these sets would be, how crap it looks. There were much better alternatives.

 

Rather disappointing the helmets are generic colours and teams too, there was a massive opportunity here.

 

A bit meh for me.

Yeah, I am surprised they haven't done more with the minifigures yet - but maybe that's something further down the line. 

Given how popular things like Funko Pops are among collectors, I can imagine a minifigure collection of F1 drivers - past and present - would be too. And there would be great scope for the 'mystery minifigure' thing if they did include famous historical drivers. 

 

However, perhaps that's more complicated from a licensing point of view? I don't know.

I already have the MP 4/4 so will be getting the FW14B. Very glad they made the rear tyres wider than the front as that was the biggest disappointment with the 4/4.

Stroll's AM would be the easiest to build. No assembly required. Just leave it in pieces.

The more I think about this, the more excited I get. Having the entire grid in Lego is just screaming for a diorama.... I need to make space to start something now :)

The tires are different this year with the FW14, so an extra set for the MP4/4 should make it better. I've also found some 3D-files as last resort.

Was in B&M today (uk) They had some Lego F1 on sale

£19.99 for the Merc and the McLaren (smaller models but still very nice)

That Senna McLaren looks nice! I hope they come out with a lot of vintage stuff as I wouldn’t spend the regular price shown in the picture for any of the current cars. First buys would probably be the 1990 or 1991 Ferrari and the 88 or 89 Mclaren…

Speed Champions models are good fun. I have the Technic MCL-36 as well, which is amazing, but I wouldn't scoff at speed champion models. They look nice scattered around my collection of 1:18 die cast models. Some of the road cars look surprisingly accurate!
