Lego is renowned for its iconic plastic bricks and its ability to secure licensing deals for the Next Big Thing. After collaborating with popular IPs like Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean, the company has now partnered with Formula 1 in 2024. In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, Lego and the racing organization have unveiled new Lego F1 sets that will be available from January 1, 2025. These sets will cater to all ages and skill levels, allowing fans to experience the thrill of Formula 1 in their own homes.
One of the most exciting additions to the Lego F1 lineup is the Speed Champions series, which features realistic models of popular sports cars from manufacturers like McLaren and Ferrari. Younger fans can also join in on the fun with the Duplo series, which includes customizable F1 Team Race Cars and drivers, as well as a starting grid and podium. For those who want to recreate the entire F1 experience, the Lego City F1 range offers six different sets that include everything from vehicle transport to garage repairs.
Formula 1 has gained a new wave of popularity thanks to the Netflix series Drive to Survive, which showcases the intense rivalries and luxurious lifestyle of the sport. The high-tech cars and equipment used in Formula 1 make for perfect Lego replicas, appealing to both young and old fans alike. With the release of these new sets, even those who know nothing about Formula 1 may find themselves wanting to join in on the fun.
