LEGO’s F1 range spans £10.99 to £199.99
LEGO currently lists 31 Formula 1 sets across its UK and US stores, with prices ranging from £10.99 to £199.99. That spread is the story: the range reaches from a small, inexpensive gift to a much larger purchase, giving fans several ways to bring F1 into a build collection. What the headline figures don’t tell us is how those sets compare in size or value; the full list is where that becomes clear.
LEGO’s 31 Formula 1 sets span a steep range: a £10.99 starter car for children and £199.99 Technic builds packed with working mechanisms. That spread is the story here. You can buy into F1 as a quick toy, a driver collectible or a substantial model, though availability and retirement dates may matter as much as the price.
Technic: full size in miniature
Five adult sets sit at the top of the range. Their 1:8 scale builds include steering, suspension, DRS flaps and visible engines. They won’t reproduce the engineering complexity of a real Grand Prix car, but the mechanical detail is more than decoration.
- McLaren MCL39 (42228): 1,675 pieces, £199.99 / $229.99. It represents the 2025 car and includes push-rod and pull-rod suspension, a gearbox, differential and V6 engine.
- Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 (42206): 1,639 pieces, £199.99 / $229.99. The model of Max Verstappen’s 2024 car has steering controlled from the cockpit roof or steering wheel, a two-speed gearbox and a V6 with moving pistons. US orders currently have a 60-day shipping estimate.
- Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 (42240): 1,547 pieces, £199.99 / $229.99. Its features include a two-speed gearbox, working differential, V6 and simulated electric motor.
- Ferrari SF-24 (42207): 1,361 pieces, £199.99 / $229.99. It adds a two-speed gearbox, printed tyres and a V6 with a spinning MGU-H.
- Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance (42171): 1,643 pieces, £189.99 / $219.99. The 2023 car is nearing retirement, though it’s back in stock in the US.
Icons: cars built for the shelf
The Icons models trade some of Technic’s mechanical complexity for display appeal. Each pairs a historic car with a driver minifigure and podium-style stand. If you want a shelf piece that still rewards a closer look, this may be the better fit.
- Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher (11375): 735 pieces, £79.99 / $89.99. The build includes a detailed V10, working steering and a winner’s trophy.
- McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna (10330): 693 pieces, £69.99 / $79.99. Senna’s 1988 car comes with working steering and suspension, an adjustable rear wing and a turbocharged V6.
- Williams FW14B & Nigel Mansell (10353): 799 pieces, £69.99 / $79.99. Mansell’s 1992 title-winning car is due to retire soon; in the US, it’s currently discounted to $55.99.
Driver helmets
LEGO’s helmet sets are for ages 14 and up. Each costs £79.99 / $89.99 and includes a driver minifigure and signature plaque. The driver details give each build a bit more personality than a helmet alone.
- Ayrton Senna (43024): 931 pieces. The newest helmet set includes Senna in a Senninha T-shirt.
- Charles Leclerc (43014): 886 pieces.
- Lewis Hamilton (43022): 884 pieces. The minifigure wears Hamilton’s red Ferrari race suit.
- Lando Norris (43023): 793 pieces. The helmet is half papaya and celebrates McLaren’s 1,000th Grand Prix.
- Oscar Piastri (43017): 793 pieces. Piastri and his team co-designed the set.
Speed Champions: nine cars from 2024
At £22.99 in the UK and $26.99 to $27.99 in the US, Speed Champions is the accessible way to collect the grid. Every car includes at least one driver minifigure. The catch is timing: all nine 2024 models are due to retire soon.
The line-up covers Red Bull RB20, McLaren MCL38, Mercedes W15, Ferrari SF-24, Williams FW46, Aston Martin AMR24, Alpine A524, Haas VF-24 and Racing Bulls VCARB 01.
US availability is already uneven. Aston Martin, Alpine and Haas are sold out; Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari are on back order, with the first two expected to ship in mid-November.
Three newer releases extend the range:
- Audi Revolut F1 Team R26 (77259): 216 pieces. It’s £18.39 in the UK, reduced from £22.99, and $27.99 in the US. It’s also nearing retirement.
- F1 Academy LEGO Race Car (77258): 201 pieces. It depicts LEGO’s own F1 Academy car from 2026 and includes a female driver minifigure.
- APXGP Team Race Car from F1: The Movie (77252): 268 pieces. Sonny Hayes and Joshua Pearce appear as the two minifigures.
For younger fans
The entry-level sets keep the builds small and the prices low.
- F1 Driver with McLaren Race Car (60442): 86 pieces, ages 6+, £10.99 / $12.99.
- F1 Williams Racing & Haas F1 Race Cars (60464): 92 pieces, ages 4+, £17.99 / $19.99. It’s nearing retirement and sold out in the US.
The Audi display truck set (60493) has 508 pieces and is aimed at builders aged seven and up. It costs £39.99 / $44.99 and is marked as retiring soon.
For a larger garage display, set 60445 pairs the RB20 and AMR24 with a transport truck. Its 1,086 pieces are rated for ages eight and up; the box also includes two drivers and three crew minifigures. At £89.99 / $99.99, it’s retiring soon, and US buyers face a back order until mid-November.
For younger fans, DUPLO F1 Team Race Cars & Drivers (10445) is a 70-piece set for ages two and up, priced at £39.99 / $44.99. It, too, is due to retire soon.
- F1 Pit Stop & Pit Crew with Ferrari Car (60443): 322 pieces, ages 6+, £24.99 / $29.99.
Which LEGO F1 set makes sense?
The McLaren MCL39 Technic car is the clear pick if you want the biggest build—and, at the time of writing, it represents the latest championship-winning car. That status could change: Mercedes still had a chance to win the title at the Mexican Grand Prix.
For detail below £80, the helmets and Icons sets are stronger options. And if completing the 2024 Speed Champions grid matters to you, don’t wait: those cars are on their way out. The retiring-soon labels across several sets make availability part of the buying decision, though they don’t tell us exactly how much time is left.
