Nice set!❤

[@iuris.a5474]

Ótimo vídeo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@EyalBrown]

I actually quite like the stand. It gives this racecar an "action shot" option.

[@vjollila96]

Also old F1 cars in museums are often displayed at this angle

[@Loki-hc3vy]

ofc its awesome, hes just a noob

[@thearizonaranger9175]

I also like it. It gives it a museum feeling

[@mramisuzuki6962]

@@vjollila96yes and diecast cars also use this style of stand a lot too.

[@willionaire73]

When you reveal the engine, you can also see the colours of the Brazilian flag! Cool! 🇧🇷

[@Glegh]

Its more likely to be a reference to his helmet, that has blue and green stripes in that order.

[@willionaire73]

@@Glegh True, but the helmet is based off the flag as well

[@Glegh]

@@willionaire73 there is a Brazilian flag under the engine, though

[@VALMOX]

YES!!!

there is also brazillian flag underground the engine and brazilliam colours in steerieng mechanism

[@dudux50]

yesss kkkk i even went back to re-listen kkk

[@Sinjinator]

And the captions say 1988… maybe it’s an audio illusion, lol

[@ondrejhofman5592]

0:11 It was in 1988 season... ! In 1998 was Ayrton Senna unfortunatelly no longer with us. 😞

[@Erivanst]

Senna accident was on May/01/1994. I will never forget that morning, when Brazil lost his most important icon of all times.

[@javiersp15]

Lego made a Senna minifigure. This is just legendary as an F1 fan and lego collector. The car looks very good but i’m concerned about lego’s white printing on red pieces.

[@hw2508]

I don't see an accurate Senna model

[@user-sq7bc2uo4c]

The Helmet doesnt look like the original at all

[@danhodson7187]

As a long time fan of F1, I remember watching Senna racing this very car, so an absolute purchase for me! I hope they make this a series of F1 legends, I'd buy them all!

[@werwennnichtich75]

but look at the nose! Look at the tires! LOOK AT THE WRONG HELMET DESIGN! I am a F1 Fan of the time but that thing Wenn wrong... Ok its not a :18 model its Lego but this could be much better as it is...😮

[@HankyPym]

Cool looking piece, I hope LEGO makes a Schumacher F2004 set one day

[@GeriatricFan1963]

They already did, back in 2005.

[@obsessedbuffalo]

They did, and I have one (luckily), but having an F2004 with updated building techniques and a better aesthetic would be fire 🔥🔥🔥 Also, as a self-proclaimed honorary Brazilian (I lived in São Paulo for two years, my wife is Brazilian, and my children are half Brazilian), and as an F1 and Ayrton Senna fan, I am so happy Lego made this car. No, it’s not perfect, but it passes my test and can’t wait to get one!

[@gugy68]

As a Brazilian and growing up with Senna this is a must buy. Yes it could be a better model but I’m just glad Lego did it.

[@chrisa1291]

Apart from the fact that I'm bored to see more and more cars Lego should definitely improve the printing quality especially the white color on red parts looks terrible. Nevertheless I would like to see no stickers at all on an Icons set.

[@Erivanst]

Obrigado! As a brazilian, huge fan of Ayrton Senna, all these details are minor, and I bought one. Thank you for your time talking about this set, and also thank you for remember the great Ayrton Senna!!

[@fishandchipsinnit]

If they had to make all wheels the same width, they should have made all of them wider, instead of giving us 4 narrow front ones

[@CaptainBuilds]

For 80 bucks those wheels should've been as they were in real life

[@Ruylopez778]

Yeah, it looks dumb, and it's not hard at all to get something like that in proportion compared to trying to replicate the bodywork.

[@sawyerhowd9797]

I am ecstatic that LEGO is committing to Formula 1 and made a Senna McLaren. This is my favorite car and driver. However, I am unfortunately very underwhelmed by this model as a whole. The shaping on the nose ruins the silhouette far, far too much for me. The shaping of the sidepods is also way too rectangular in the rear. The introduction of slick tyres is great, but it's also incredibly disappointing that they didn't make the wider wheels for the back. I also am very confused by the shaping of the roll hoop. While the steering function is cool, I would have much preferred that LEGO choose looks over the play feature. Icons is supposed to be for display, yet they threw out one of the most iconic shapes on the car for a play feature. With all that being said, I hope this set does well, so that we can get a Michael Schumacher Ferrari, Jim Clark Lotus, etc. :)

[@thisistotallyfine]

I agree as well. It looks somewhat cheap and not serious enough as an Icons display set. It has more of a 3-in-1 creator vibe to it. I mean it's not exactly bad but I don't see much details that are worth appreciating.

[@Gustavo-uy6og]

As a Brazilian and a F1 fan, I am very happy with what Lego did there! Rest in peace legendary champion, and long live to the velocity!

[@CaptainBuilds]

Look at the wheels. Look at the prints. This is horrible quality and for 80 bucks a complete slap in the face of every fan.

[@therealjuralumin3416]

I get that this is a special Senna set, but it would've been really nice if it came with a Prost minifig and helmet too, and the option to use the number 11 instead of 12 on the car.

[@VALMOX]

Yeah

[@DoorTechnicianRick]

Facts, Prost is so underrated and few people know how good he actually was

[@CrashperM]

My favorite driver and probably the most underrated driver in f1 history which is impressive for a 4 time world champion. I’m planning on looking into a way to customize it into prost

[@VALMOX]

YES

[@VALMOX]

YES!!!!

[@Vinicius1898]

Awesome set for Senna fans! Obrigado for reviewing it! 🟩🟨🟦

[@DoorTechnicianRick]

1) That's not Senna's helmet, where is the dark blue line ? 2) Lego can't print triangles anymore it seems 3) Only the best is good enough -> So we give them 4 of the same tires

[@jkarhiaho]

LEGO didn't print the sharp triagles/chevrons because they represent Marlboro.

[@CaptainBuilds]

For real the way that all of these fanboys keep defending this horrible set is just sad

[@mtwi]

Agreed, the prints are horrible and the helmet ist a shame at best. Absolutely a no go 🙅!

[@mtwi]

@@jkarhiahothis is no excuse. The colors from the back als represent the Triangel from Marlboro.

[@mtwi]

And the nose of the car should be more flat and not round. Total fail again, but why?

[@andromedazoowitski5903]

1988 Season, not 1998. :-)

[@Dougie2945c]

Not concerned at the split spoiler but rather at the inaccurate tyres Quite like the V6 engine being visible and of course the figure of Ayrton Senna, an icon of motorsport fittingly available in a LEGO ICON set.

[@cerradobricks4017]

You were the only one that mentioned the suspension (haven't watched Racing Brick yet, though). as a brazilian myself, I intend to review this set as well, as soon as I can get it. Senna remains a big inspiration in Brazil, and I think more people will like to see this in detail and in Portuguese.

[@Ghiaman1334]

Was glad to see you review this set, as a Brazilian yourself. This set isn't just important to fans of F1 or motorsport, or car people into McLarens. To my knowledge, Senna remains an icon of Brazilian culture and success, so this set is important for an entire nation.

[@frardo]

I think you're the best lego reviewer on KZbin, now knowing that you were a Senna fan I admire you even more, greetings from Brazilian lands.

[@BareMinimumCustoms]

Obrigado eu Tiago! As mentioned on IG, really counting down here, can't wait to mod this set!

[@nottharunzzzz]

“Senna Sempre” ❤️🤍

[@guillaume.quignon-Esk8Bricks]

The MP4/4 was the most successfull car in history till... 2023 : The 2023 redbull RB 19 won 21 on 22 races, "better" in therm of percentage than the 15 on 16 of the McLaren ;-) Hopping a Formula 1 car serie in icons theme ! Ferrari F1 2004, Mercedes FW13, Redbull RB19, etc...

[@thiago-brisolla]

Very nice review, Tiago! However, I was expecting a comparison with the original MP4/4. The nose is completely different from the original. There is a huge white space that does not exist, and I don't think that's a size restriction. I've already seen some MOCs on the internet with a more consistent representation. The minifigure is not that accurate; it should have red gloves, and the helmet should also have a black stripe under the green stripe. As a Brazilian, this is a MUST-HAVE set, lol, but I was expecting more.

[@caiocavalero]

As a brasillian, this is a must buy, especially for that Ayrton minifig, such a cool thing

[@goncalo33]

0:18 Ayrton was an icon. That choice makes sense.

[@inspirer4763]

That white on red printing quality is just unacceptable, it's pink, not even close to white. LEGO quality over the recent years has been atrocious, to say the least. Such a shame.

[@ahchiu9]

Obrigado, Tiago

[@leopolas]

“Obrigado” Nice touch 👍

[@undead.rising]

This is honestly a lot better than I thought. I expected it to be display-oriented only. I didn't expect the steering, nor the quasi-suspension, nor a fully detachable back, nor it BEING ON-SCALE TO THE OTHER ICON CAR SETS!!!! I wasn't going to buy it, but now I am. At $100 AUD, it is considerably cheaper than the next car in the series - the $250 Corvette. Half the pieces, but much less than half the price, and a minifigure. Thank you Lego!

[@dc-vw4qm]

WOW amazing that this car that senna drove was good in the 1998 season! Dont know how he was driving it though as he was dead 4 years at that point

[@marcch72]

Should be 1988

[@TiagoCatarino]

He was THAT good! Obviously a mistake, my bad

[@HansHenrikVestergaard]

1988 season*

[@TiagoCatarino]

Indeed! My bad!

[@HansHenrikVestergaard]

No worries! Thanks for the review. A must have set for F1 fans like myself :)

[@DETHMOKIL]

Alwasy appreciate you pointing out ways sets could be cheaper. People mostly talk about "good to have" not the consonances of having extra stuff you dont need.

[@DouglasLambert]

Loved the hidden Brazilian colors...

[@Burnocchio]

Sadly those stickers are horrible. If you have to make stickers instead of prints at least go for the same white. This could've been made so much better.

[@matthewsalisbury4339]

Can't take my eyes off the off white printing on the red nose cone piece. LEGO needs to do better when printing white on darker pieces.

[@metinaydn5263]

It's actually from the year 1988.

[@dindjarin1806]

I hate the quality of the print on the big red piece in the front :( otherwise it'd be an instant buy from me

[@arthurcastaldi6701]

Obrigado Tiago! Senna 🇧🇷

[@chriswhite5665]

Regarding the McLaren branding on the rear wing instead of Marlboro - both versions were in use for a while, depending on whether local laws prohibited tobacco advertising or not, so it varied from race to race. They were lucky that McLaren didn't look so different and they deliberately used the same/similar font, so many people didn't even notice that it didn't always say Marlboro.

[@TonyMontanaDS]

Senna was my favourite driver, but the white sticker or white print over the red at the front behind the Honda logo looks really bad and it's enough to make me not buy it.

[@M0torsagmannen]

it is a shame that the printing on the red body panels are so poor quality. white looks like pink

[@InnocentRain562]

Recently built this set and I love it! Can’t stop looking at it. The price as well is great value

[@torokun]

We need the MOC designers to step up and fix the design 😂

[@CaptainBuilds]

💯

[@tetsi0815]

Cada already produced a better f1 car... different scale though

[@CaptainBuilds]

@@tetsi0815 yeah but the overall quality like the printing on the tires is misssing in Lego sets in general

[@tetsi0815]

3:00 the main sponsor at the time was Marlboro, if I'm not mistaken, not Shell. That's why the car is red/white.

[@jardex2275]

If you're looking for more car sets, don't sleep on the Speed Champion series. They have a lot of interesting building techniques, and the final products look really good. There's also a few other F1 cars available in the series.

[@christianbarlera1799]

Ótimo vídeo como sempre! Este com certeza é um set muito especial para nós brasileiros

[@Thomas_fishy]

The stand is there becuase it is like a memorial for 30 years since the crash

[@man_asian]

Love the set with Ayrton Senna minifigure as a tribute to such a great driver and to see back Shell logo back in a Lego set after the forced breakup of brand deals

[@Jefe86]

Love this set; looking forward to adding it to my Lego vehicle collection in the F1 section!

[@user-wu7yt5rg8h]

eu como brasileiro tenho que dizer que este set ficou muito bom! faltou citar que na montagem em baixo do motor é possível ver uma bandeira do Brasil.

[@Shifteeer]

I'm so jealous!!! I preordered the set and am waiting for it... PLEASE LEGO!!!! SEND IT ALREADY

[@CaptainBuilds]

My guy look at the tires and those prints! This set is NOT worth 80 bucks!!!!

[@RobertDoornbosF1]

The stand is a very usual way of displaying both real and scale F1 cars. They probably included it due to that

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

1988, not 1998 season 😊 Winning all but one race and claiming all but one pole position

[@F1nd3r-k3y]

NICEEE!!! LOOKS SOO COOOLL!

[@specterx2135]

I agree!

[@RodrigodaRosaCesconeto]

The missing blue stripe in the helmet is really weird. Maybe a technical limitation?

Just differs a little from my first large LEGO, model 392... 🙂

[@drivewaystar6485]

If someone is printing "Marlboro" stickers for this, ill buy them

[@Harmenjp]

Should’ve been Marlboro on the wing tho. Maybe with a disclaimer in the instructions

[@user-sq7bc2uo4c]

I think that for 80 Dollars you just dont get enough and the quality isnt super good as well, the white prints in red have a pink look to them, not everything is printed and the tires in the back should be wider.

[@Jakerhine2211]

Lego is overall bad quality

[@SAVINGEZRA]

As a huge F1 and LEGO fan, I am so excited for March!!

[@ziadelhadidi14]

I love the video but the car dominated in the 1988 season not 1998 as senna had passed away in 1994, during his first season at Williams.

[@TiagoCatarino]

My bad!!

[@datavizuals]

3 shades of white is a massive disappointment (white plate, even whiter stickers, and pink/white on the red printed nose piece). Not for me or more serious F1 fans who want more realistic rear tyres, contours etc - I was waiting to see the model and have ordered a minichamps 1:18 Senna model instead

[@werwennnichtich75]

As a true F1 fan of the generation, there's a lot I can't agree with. Wrong nose, narrow tires, wrong white on the red parts, and above all the helmet is totally wrong and has nothing to do with Senna. Unfortunately there are many serious errors in the model but ok, its a Lego and not 1:18

[@klausm5460]

"Racing, competing is in my blood. It´s part of me, it´s part of my life. I´ve been doing it all my life. And it stands up before anything else." - Ayrton Senna

[@phinozomu358]

Still hoping Lego starts doing more JDM kits, They've a good base for the Nissan r34! Need more toyotas and Hondas now!!

[@UltimoGames]

The nose should be smoother curved, maybe I'll fix that myself somehow! I think I'll buy it, because I am a Senna fan!

[@wheely90]

2:35 the name plate was Marlboro, and was split half way on the race car..

[@trev3971]

I want to like this, but the front end doesn't look anything like the MP4/4.

[@PremiumToyCollect]

Now this is HARD !!!!👊🏽💥👏🏽

[@Glegh]

Im a huge f1 fan but i hate the look of the rear. The rear tyres are the same size as the fronts which is just wrong, they should be way thicker. But to give the illusion of this Lego made the rear wheels stick out more, but that makes the suspension look really weird. I also cant get over the front nose with the white printed on red which gives it this weird red outline. Also, the red isnt that triangle shape it should be.

[@BlackAndBloom1]

Right about the wheels. I also miss the goodyear endorsement. The tobacco advertisements and references missing is something I can understand.

[@7bittedie9]

the tires and the weak white on red prints are ruining the hole set. But nice video

[@andrecamargo-jundiaisp2715]

You: Obrigado, I: De nada 🇧🇷

[@wings9925]

Thanks for the great walk-through, Tiago. For me, it'd only 80% there. The rear wheels and tyres are far too narrow and the nose shaping and the not-white printing on the red parts is poor, given then price

[@therandomnarwhal]

I’m not an F1 fan but I think this set has won me over. I think the build looks fun and the pricing is cheaper then most Icons set.

[@sejanoz]

Is there a typo on the plate, or is "chasis" another way to spell chassis I don't know about?

[@IMeanMachine101]

I think the stand is awesome

[@BUILTwithBRICKS.]

Beautiful lego kit if I buy it, I'll try to make an assembly video!

I think you build the side mirrors incorrectly 😉 I would probably have done it similar Thank you for your great videos 🎉😊

[@huisteven3220]

I will really consider to get a Marlboro sticker

[@JBBrickFanatic]

A really cool set!!! I’m just a fan of vehicles in general, so I might have to pick it up! 😃 The white print on the red wedges…. man I wish they made the ink thicker. The color is still just a bit too far off. I’d even pay an extra $5 for it to match the white bricks! This is a problem on minifigures recently too. ❤

[@iw6545]

small correction, car was in the 1988 season, not 1998 as Ayrton passed in 1996. Beautiful model!

[@espenwalm]

This is a straight to pre-order for me.

[@BrickHQ]

Awesome set I wonder what Lego will do with the Honda license I like that there's a stand and a minifigure, more Icons car sets should be like this Should be a bit cheaper

[@vjollila96]

It's cool but rear tires are not wide enough

[@Elexita13]

the only downside is the tire. The rear tire should be bigger and wider than the front tho

[@TheMofobuss]

I thought lego split with shell a while back due to environmental issues...maybe that's why they are stickers

[@chris_rodrigues]

Obrigado!

[@c57b9]

The minifig looks so small according to the car and especially the wheels

[@TiagoCatarino]

They’re not made to be in the same scale

[@zeberto1986]

As a McLaren fan this is going into my collection!

[@mrc0a124]

This will be the one I get after getting the 2 smaller ones first the Merc can definitely wait like the McLaren

[@erwu5422]

The white print on red elements looks really poor, it's almost pink..

[@matthewfarr4221]

Really poor print on the red piece on the upper nose. Looks pink and isn't even vaguely the correct shape for the livery. Ruins the look of the model entirely for me sadly.

[@user-go3jf7vb5w]

Hey Tiago! Did you see the tiny Brazilian flag colored under the engine!

[@TiagoCatarino]

That’s what it was!

[@BUILTwithBRICKS.]

Beautiful set lego!

It's absolutely bullshit, basically everything lego does is the worst quality on the market for the biggest price
