[@afifirfan2836]

Finished building mine and i really gotta say lego deserves a huge round of applause for this set. Theres so many really accurate details that alot of non f1 fans would not notice. The side pods shape is spot on, even down to the intake! The front wing is a huge improvement over the w12 mercedes with it being closer to the ground but the rear wing i do find to be way too bulky. All in all i think its a 10/10 set still despite the price hike!

[@vthegoose]

If you are an f1 fan you notice this car is unmarked aside from the green camera pod, and the suit is really bad

[@Ayden767]

Man, march is going to be one heck of a month for lego with all of these new releases, I am confused on which one of these I am going to pick up. There are so many good choices! Love your reviews man, keep them rolling!

[@Aldi__0]

Why tho?

[@marcobrancorsini2479]

One thing they did well with the mercedes set was giving it the Cinturato tire lettering since it wasn't a slick tyre

[@SaperPl1]

That ski detail is neat. Seems like this is a lot better than mercedes one, and it's a single pack and not double-pack with some additional price for a car that you may not want. Also more vibrant colours help a lot.

[@MDBski]

I love the stickers. It's such a therapeutic pause in the building process. Use tweezers folks! it helps out tremendously.

[@yaerius]

Exactly this ^ I've been using tweezers for LEGO stickers for several years now. I don't even approach sticking without them.

[@andreinebesnii4647]

Thanks for the review! P.S. You miss new 1x2 slope parts where you put first two stickers.

[@gabaranowski]

More printed pieces are always welcomed, but with any race cars in general a higher number of stickers are expected. To me, the real shame is the lack of an option for Lando & Oscar. Doing so for 76909 Hamilton & Valtteri had to have increased sales for the set to some degree with builders like me who bought 2 sets to make one of each. Maybe just not enough to warrant the additional pieces and stickers. Something to remedy in the aftermarket I suppose.

[@RaY_MoBiLe]

Speed champions design team is at a complete other level 🔥

[@GodmanchesterGoblin]

At 03:07 - I love those new wedge shaped slopes - a mini version of the headlights wedge from a couple of years ago. I need to get a few as soon as they appear on Lego Pick-a-Brick for a project that I am working on, hopefully they won't be only available in black. It's an attractive model. I think the fragility is just a Lego replication of what you sometimes see in F1 cars anyway.

[@EpicFroggy2398]

Finally, slick tires so I don't have to wear them out of my treamil.

[@eedoamitay3341]

I love this build, I really think they nailed the front wing especially, but the sidepods are also so beautifully shaped, and I love your reviews too haha thank you for these! : )

[@rachitmardia3136]

We NEED a comparison between the 42156 vs 76909 Please!

Might buy 2 of these and another of the Mercedes and then swap the wheels around on 1 so that I have one of each on slicks and wets lol

I'm not usually one to bitch about stickers, but a sticker on an already printed part? The hell LEGO?

Definitely going to get 2 of these for both Lando and Oscar. Pity that the Aston Martin will be in a 2 pack.

[@Prodboy]

This year is pure gold for F1 fans :)

[@vthegoose]

Tbh I’d prefer if it came with 2 figs and some spares to make it for each driver. Cause this isn’t for Oscar or Lando, it’s generic

[@oliversmith415]

It's been my favourite lego model so far, very impressed

[@RebelliousRobot]

2:29 What a twist!

[@ThuNder12805]

This month is quite literally the month for f1 fans. hehe

[@the_Acaman]

I've been watching most of your videos and while I enjoy watching you build these speed champions sets, most technic sets seem to offer much more for similar prices. I think speed champions should have an RRP of 20-22 euros and I would definitely consider buying some of them, as they look pretty nice

[@TheCardude98]

One thing I discovered with the new Pirelli printed tires is you can fit the older smaller speed champion wheel covers, so the 6 stud wide sets, their wheel covers can fit on these wheels

[@Raventommm]

Ive build the set last night and its amazing.... You say that the tail falls off... Mine is very secure. No isseus at all with stability... Only had a problem with one sticker... It didnt loose the paper very wel and some color got stuck on the paper screwing up the sticker...

[@auratesanhandle2]

For some odd reason. The Lego builder app doesn’t include the f1 in the Speed Champions category. It doesn’t even show at all

[@dylandog1289]

Had to pick this one up. Havent built lego since i was a kid (42). The quality and design is super clever. They should go ahead and do a few more deals with other teams. I’d love to have an alpha tauri

[@JimmyDuckworth]

Oh by the way I voted for this car! Happy to see it first on the channel! Very detailed work as always my friend! Keep it up and you will have 1 mil subs in no time!

[@FabekFabeusz]

Got it yesterday, it really is a nice one, it looks great! Now I wish LEGO would release the rest of the grid

[@AncientYouth64]

built mine today, really nice little build and great for display very detailed

[@Depressed_Ferrari_Fan_16]

This video got me screaming "i need it" like I'm Spongebob.

[@Vegalith]

Since you point out how the dimensions of the wheels would conflict, perhaps the reason for them not making the rear wheels of the icons set a different size is that it would be out of system, idk the dimensions of the new wheels, but if they’re say 4 studs wide, in order to fit the original size they’d have to make it 5 and a half studs wide, which might violate some compatibility rule? I don’t know if they want all their wheels to be integer stud widths.

[@mehmetgozetlik3392]

Thanks for the review but the rear wing side stickers are wrong, The orange and blue OKX side panels are fitted incorrectly. The right part must be fitted to the left and the left part to the right.

[@sajmg_1124]

Yoooo, Iam waiting for the BMW and the Mustang!!

[@F1_By_a_Rookie]

Fun fact : in India it is about 40$

[@tinkerman__]

The set looks great and was fun to build. Accurate enough but lacking the front wheel deflector aka the wheel brows. Strange they’re not included.

[@RacingBrick]

I don't think there are any parts in this scale that would fit there and could represent those elements

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Definit6ely an improvement in detail though the fragile nature of the model can be summed up as this is a display model opposed to playable toy. Lot of stickers, but they nicely complete the look and the printing on the tires look spectacular. Definitely excited for this one and the Mustang.

[@slof69]

if I had money I'd buy so much of this stuff

[@gusgus404]

I just want a 2023 or 2024 Lego F1 car in that scale

[@lilgabriel0517]

Im very surprised that this set is the most wanted. I never realized how popular F1 was, I was even more surprised by the amount of people at my school with McLaren F1 hoodies. I personally am more excited for the BMW and E-tron sets, but this set definitely looks cool, and the building techniques are cool. 🏎️

[@TravisHi_YT]

I really hope Lego continues with all the F1 teams, I would buy them all. I hated that I had to get the Merc with another car I don't care about, the F1 car by itself is perfect.

[@3dov4nd3r2]

Will you do a review of the upcoming polybag? And if so, could you tell us where you find them? I can’t seem to find polybags easily if not on the resale market

[@adrianlynch9435]

Second that.

[@adityasinghthakuri6503]

While assembling side pods and spoilers are so weak they will fall apart while fixing other parts Also while fixing halo the holder will increase the tension with pipe and fall apart overall 8/10

[@edutaimentcartoys]

cool formula 1 lego

[@mauhernandez3483]

I really love your content. I wanted to know if the new printed tires could fit on the Porsche 963 Lego made last year.

[@ririsuyu]

just got this today and all i can say is that it looks better in person, price is not bad for it and lastly the only thing i dont like is that piece behind the front tires it bothers me when it falls down and get turn easily.

[@ursbasteck]

Gah, worse than stickers are stickers AND printed pieces because then I'm not even free to leave them off, beacuse how does THAT look!?

[@brisbaneinsider7139]

Them falling apart so easily is correct to the real cars. If I'm crashing them together wings and parts falling off is awesome.

[@TimL_]

No interview with the designer this year?

[@RacingBrick]

Unfortunately not

[@YaddleGaming]

if there were no stickers and all prints it would actually be an amazing set. like this its ok

[@dior1114]

My applause to designer of this McLaren👏

[@farzaanquadri8511]

The reason the Mercedes tires were not slick was because they were wet tires used for the rain. In F1, there are many types of tires used, and each type is differentiated by color (red-soft, yellow-medium, white-hard, green-inter, blue-wet). Wet tires are designed with ridges and grooves so that they handle better in rain. The McLaren uses medium tires.

[@RacingBrick]

The reasoning is the other way around. They were decorated as wet tires because LEGO didn't have slick tires at this scale.

[@farzaanquadri8511]

@@RacingBrick Good point sir

[@farzaanquadri8511]

I just meant to say that it wasn’t a factual mistake that lego made

[@MaxCarmona-p7q]

The last year tires where realistic beacuase it was blue marking meaning for wet conditions witch do have treads like the Mercedes does

[@Trija204]

What a beautiful set! I want it

[@sixnigteers356]

Very exicitig to see kawasaki and big mercedes f1 building rewiews😊

[@GoldyMic]

Can you use the McLaren wheels (without wheel cover) on the Mercedes F1 Car? I prefer the racier slick tyres over the full-wet which reminds me of the 2021 Belgian GP.

[@shawnwallace5346]

Already on shelves at a certain supermarket chain just can't get the points in the lego app yet much to my ire. They hadpretty much most of the March car related releases in various quantities. Was half tempted to grab the McLaren FormulaE one but just went with the standard F1 as I was waiting for that one mostly.

[@prylfarsan]

My rear tires are touching the rear wing. Don’t really understand what I did wrong cause now the rear tires won’t rotate without inadvertently removing the rear wing

[@tytompkins9065]

Love that orange helmet

[@verios44]

I plan to grab all 5 speed champs once available!

[@valtteriahokas6238]

It's on sale here in Finland, loved it, but, the front wing is wobbly which is really annoying

[@vladyslav_andreiev]

Great evolution! I like it and color combination😍 But. You couldn't choose the driver number - quite sadly...

[@adamyo9003]

My Lego hot take: I love the stickers. Gimme more stickers

[@Kscopes8888]

the new prices are so annoying its now its a $10 price increase in Aus

[@franky6193]

bigw got them for 29..

[@Thinginator]

I remember when Speed Champions sets were $15 :( Back then it was easy to justify getting a whole bunch of them. At $27 though... I might still buy them occasionally, but not nearly as many. Don't know how much of the price increase is inflation vs. greed, but if it's greed, it's going to get LEGO less profit from me as I just can't justify buying two cars at $27 each when I used to be able to get 4 for $60. Still this McLaren set is very neat and I may pick it up at some point, but even then I'll wait until it's on sale somewhere.

[@beedyboy1395]

one thing im bummed about, they didnt add the frnt wheel gaurds, but im fine with it bc even i cant think of how to add them

[@samposeppanen-i4y]

The formula season seems to be really cool.

[@KarimBoctorAwad]

looks fantastic even if the wheels are even size but the loose parts and 1 or 2 stud connections kind of stink

[@BlackringIII]

This is a great set. But I can't get with how many new molds legos is producing, especially for slopes. It's moving away from being lego and becoming mega bloks, but not in a good regard. Lego's slope portfolio has probably doubled in the past 10 years.

[@Looksmaxmogger]

How is it not good? It’s still Lego, and allows for more complex and organic shaping. Lego staying blocky would’ve just kept the company low

[@BlackringIII]

@@Looksmaxmogger Well, think about if you have a parts collection you're building from. It's another pair of left and right you've got to keep track of/differentiate when putting together mocs. Not to mention all the color variations it might come in. Complex shaping is the goal, but it's much more interesting to use standard parts in novel ways to achieve that; e.g. tiles on hinges, balls joints or other means of flexibility. Then it's also easier for others to replicate your work without needing to buy new or rare pieces. I'm not a mad traditionalist like slugger, it just seems like Lego is being a bit less deliberate with their new part designs these days. I'd much more like to see a new hinge design or a plate with studs on top and bottom, before they release their thousandth wedge.

[@Looksmaxmogger]

@@BlackringIII not an issue lol

[@davidaugustofc2574]

​@@BlackringIII Lego could add parts more slowly, yes, but if the parts are sufficiently different from each other, I'm more than happy to have them

[@jamesdo3086]

@@BlackringIIIgod forbid you have to keep track of left and right pieces

[@kristijonasdamskis8258]

I think sculpting and detailing cant be directly compared, since W12 and MCL60 are from completely different F1 eras. W12 beeing from high downforce 2017-2022, and MCL60 form ground effect era 2022- present. These both sets perfectly represents these two eras in their own way! Cant wait to see what Lego will do with Speed Champions Aston Martin F1 car!

[@TFFormula1]

Man I wish they made the wheel covers over the front two wheels

[@rbletitgo4948]

26 compared to the 15 for the f40. The quality is worth it to me. Printed tires! In this case the price increase make sense but the Senna set is just wrong

[@tpaddock891]

When I started collecting in 2020, the pricing made it very attractive and they didn't take up much space. It's gotten to the point now, where I grumble about the prices, but still buy them anyway. And, with 50 8-wide cars, space is now becoming an issue. I'm def stopping at 60!

[@Formula1FanAddict]

I wish that the McLaren f1 car had like a certain drivers number was on the front slope like lando or Oscar

[@RCmies]

Considering how bulky the rear wheel is, it really should be attached in a better way. Other than that I can't really criticize it. Can't wait to have this and all the upcoming Speed Champions F1 cars.

[@RyanRathnayake-el5bx]

Looks sick

[@richardwillis7154]

I love the speed champions but as with everything Lego it's just getting too expensive

[@vthegoose]

Why couldn’t they get parts to customize it to Lando and Oscar? Was it too hard?

[@scottcovino9415]

I’ll definitely be getting this set. Only disappointed with the detail on the minifig

[@tobiasmacek6974]

[@SeaBreeeze19]

Am I the only one having the problem where to get the minifig to actually fit, I hate to the legs off?? Maybe I built the car wrong but I don’t think I did 😭

[@RebelliousRobot]

I feel like the additional sponsorship logos is "driving" up the price. It's already expensive getting the rights to the car manufacturer themselves. Adding the logos from DEWALT, a power tool company, as well as Chrome or Cisco, having the rights to sell the product with these sponsors probably cost extra.

[@dxg999]

That window would make a *brilliant* radiator for a hot rod. Anyone up for a B model?

[@lorenzo2349]

[@EvanMoon]

The set should look great and be well put together. I don’t like the idea of it falling apart so easily.

[@The_StealthNinja]

I prefer the W12, (maybe because I’m a Mercedes fan) but I do think I will buy the tyres and steering wheel pieces from the McLaren set off Bricklink and add then to the W12

[@Mike-pu7wk]

To be fair the mercedes speed champion was an f1 car from 2021 which looks completely different to the current f1 cars

[@neomurice]

Been wanting to get the Merc F1 speed champions, but not really excited about the AMG One in the set. With this one pack Mclaren F1 I could get an F1 speed champion at cheaper price (than a two-car set)

[@dikenlikalp]
