Realistic Build

Bought kit two days ago and promised myself to take the build slow and enjoy. As usual, I got caught up in the momentl and finished it quickly. Challenging build and a fantastic finish. I actually like the stickers, they give the finish a glossy paint look that you would not get from pre painted bricks. Application is easy if you are careful. Missing one piece (non critical) and have ordered it. Running out of room in my office and may have to move if more F1 cars are produced. Good job!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for telling us how much you enjoyed your Mercedes set! We're sorry to hear you had to pause your build and are glad you got in touch to let us know. Your piece will be with you soon for that podium finish!
I have recently fallen into the hole of buying all the recent Lego Formula 1 releases and this was my latest and best one. The attention to detail in the steering and suspension is awesome. I loved assembling the engine and differential. The fact that they move is just icing on the cake. It is an extremely fun build it took me about 8 hrs to do. I highly recommend for a collector or a great parent and child project. It can help teach how basic mechanics work.
Thank you Lego. This was a great build for a beginner such as myself and I can officially say that I am now addicted to Lego Technic F1 cars. My new 2022 McLaren F1 race car arrives tomorrow!
Was really enjoying the build until a piece was missing. Ordered and waiting for it... Lego please improve your quality control.

We're sorry to hear you had to pause your race and are glad you got in touch to let our pit crew know. Your requested parts will ship from Denmark and you'll be back to building in no time!
I am happy with the details this AMG F1. It was all fun until it finally happened....the missing parts started. I ended up using or skipping some steps because I don't have time for replacing these parts. Missing parts wasn't that important that I can continue with the build. I don't mind the stickers at all, I actually enjoyed it. NOTE to Legos: Please double check your parts! I am already spending a lot of money, it's not fun to wait for missing parts.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Oh no! It's disappointing when your build isn’t going as planned. You can request the parts you need at LEGO.build/BricksPieces-BV for free of charge, or get in touch at LEGO.build/Service-BV and we'll request them for you!
With this being my 2nd car build in the lego universe it was a pleasure to put together, though it may be a bit fragile if someone built it to "play" with its more than sturdy enough for display. After building this I'm so hyped to start the next!
