More LEGO Formula 1 sets rumoured for 2025 – but not where you’d expect
More LEGO Formula 1 sets are rumoured to be on the way in 2025, but not from the themes you’d traditionally expect.
The LEGO Group has gone all-in on Formula 1 over the past couple of years across Speed Champions and Technic, and this year in LEGO Icons with 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna. Instagram user a.clay.brick now reports (via Brick Tap, a previously reliable source of rumours) that more Formula 1 sets are racing on to LEGO Store shelves in 2025 – but they’ll actually be under the LEGO City banner.
The obvious thread to pull on here is that former LEGO Speed Champions Design Manager Chris Stamp is now Design Manager for LEGO City, and this is his influence being felt even more prominently than in this year’s line-up. But LEGO City is actually no stranger to F1 cars: 2013’s Great Vehicles range brought us 60025 Grand Prix Truck, which includes a six-wide Octan-themed spin on a Formula 1 racer.
According to a.clay.brick, at least six LEGO City 2025 sets – numbered 60442, 60443, 60444, 60445, 60464 and 60474 – will be hooked to the concept of Formula 1. Any further details are not forthcoming right now, so it’s anyone’s guess whether they might be individual cars, or include other elements such as trucks, pit stops, garages, race tracks and so on.
But given LEGO Speed Champions is still churning out detailed, eight-wide Formula 1 cars, LEGO City seems like the perfect place to return to the wider world of F1 (last seen in the six-wide era of Speed Champions). The safe money is on any City racers being six studs wide, a scale that would surely better lend itself to all the usual trappings of the sport (namely a race track).
All we can do for now is speculate, but 2025 could be a cool time to be a Formula 1 fan. For now, you’ll want to turn your attentions to LEGO Speed Champions, Technic and Icons for an F1 fix, with sets including 76919 2023 McLaren Formula 1 Car, 42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance and 76925 Aston Martin Vantage Safety Car & AMR23.

- I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
