A Golden Retriever and a Hovercraft

‘The only thing missing from these LEGO sets is a miniature Christian Horner shouting at race control.’

Yes, LEGO’s joined the paddock. And it’s not just for kids—grown adults are queueing to build the Red Bull RB20 at 2 am in their dressing gowns.

If you think this is a gimmick, wait until you see Lando Norris driving a full-size LEGO McLaren.

Keep reading. Things are about to get wonderfully silly.

In January, LEGO and Formula 1 launched a big, bold partnership for F1’s 75th anniversary. Cue the sound of wallets opening.

The idea? Fuse the deafening roar of motorsport with the soft snap of plastic bricks.

Somehow, it works.

New Sets Arrive:

LEGO Speed Champions: Ten F1 team cars you can build, crash, and rebuild in under 90 seconds, unlike Ferrari’s real pit crew.

LEGO Technic – Intricate monsters like the Ferrari SF-24 and RB20 with enough moving parts to make your dad swear.

LEGO City & DUPLO – For tiny hands with big dreams. Mini pit stops, starting grids, and chaos in primary colours.

F1 Fan Zones Debut (2025 Season). LEGO takes over 13 Grand Prix weekends.

Think ‘Glastonbury for plastic enthusiasts,’ complete with builds, selfies, and sheer chaos in Silverstone and Shanghai.

LEGO Stores and Discovery Centres go full F1. Kids’ race builds while adults try not to cry over the price of Technic sets.

Conclusion:

LEGO and F1—an unlikely duo that might build the sport’s next generation, one absurdly small brick at a time.

Watching Lando Norris drive a full-size LEGO McLaren is like watching a golden retriever pilot a hovercraft: pointless, hilarious, and somehow brilliant.’
