Unreleased LEGO Formula 1 sets spotted in the wild

We’re days away from a stacked grid full of LEGO Icons, Technic, and Speed Champions sets inspired by Formula 1 – and some have already made their way into the world.

Visitors to the Canadian International Autoshow, running until February 25, will be able to get a closer look at a number of the new sets coming to LEGO Icons, Technic, and Speed Champions inspired by real-life Formula 1 cars. The LEGO Group is making 2024 a good year to be a racing fun, with several cars specifically based on Formula 1 race cars.

This ranges from icons from racing history with 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna (complete with a commemorative plaque and minifigure for the late driver) up to recent examples of racing engineering at different price points with 42165 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance Pull-Back and 42171 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance joining LEGO Technic.

The latter is one of those cars available to view fully built ahead of its release date on March 1 at the Canadian International Autoshow. Although this isn’t a chance to get your hands on the set early, you can get a greater sense of the detail and size of the LEGO Technic set.

Elsewhere at the exhibition, you can also find the LEGO Technic set’s younger sibling, 42165 Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance Pull-Back, as well as 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna and 76919 2023 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car. What’s particularly interesting here is seeing 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna‘s dramatic angle you can achieve with the brick-built display stand that’s included in action.

You can pre-order any or all of these sets right now to secure your copy. Here’s a quick reminder of what’s on the way for LEGO Formula 1 fans in March 1, as well as an extra bonus Formula E-inspired build with 42169 NEOM McLaren Formula E Race Car.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
