Happy F1 season! The 2024 chapter of the F1 story is already well under way, and as if that wasn’t exciting enough already, we’ve got some more good news for you.

Huge racing teams such as McLaren and Ferrari have teamed up with LEGO® to create authentic replicas of their most popular cars, allowing you to bring a slice of the F1 world into your own home and engage with it in a hands-on way.

Packed full of true-to-life details, there are a range of models suitable for children and adults, allowing you to appreciate the craftsmanship of your favourite sporting vehicles, albeit at a slightly smaller scale.

Not only can you build and admire these cars, you can use the exciting LEGO builder app, which combines with selected models, to take things one step further. This allows you to enter a digital world of building where you can rotate models in 3D, as well as zoom in and track your progress.

So, whether you’re searching for the perfect present for your F1-loving friend, or you want to treat yourself in between binge-watching Drive to Survive, we’ve got the ultimate round-up of models to help you find the perfect LEGO F1 car.
