Underwhelming, with playability issues.

I was most excited to begin playing with the LEGO Formula 1 McLaren MCL38, and I was dismayed to find that many aspects of the set made it quite unplayable. I also found that the construction of the car was not sturdy. Amongst the many issues of the car, there was the fact that, although they appeared to be firmly fixed on, the side panels kept falling off which I found extremely annoying. On top of that, I noticed that the undercarriage of the model was scraping the ground as I moved it! In order to counter all these faults, I was forced to strip the underside of the model of all the pieces that were touching the floor. Overall, an underwhelming experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed

I must have bought over 10k Lego sets for myself and my family. Over the recent sets (especially speed champion and f1) I have noticed a significant degradation in its design and stability. The parts easily fall off indicating a lack of sufficient thoughts in designing the sets and how parts connect each other. Lego is no longer as fun as it used to be and we often find it necessary to use glue to strength the connection which sounds ridiculous on itself. You should really pay attention to your quality rather than keeping raising the price. This is so disappointed and frustrating, not worth the money and time at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from LEGOBy Leah, LEGO® Customer Service, April 28, 2025
We know how frustrating it is when parts aren't staying in place. However, you should never need to use glue to keep your sets together. If you'd like a hand troubleshooting the build, please give us a shout at LEGO.build/Service-BV.

This was my final F1 build in the series. The other 9 were a lot of fun to build. I understand LEGO was trying to keep the builds independent to make them interesting, however, this one falls WAY short of keeping up. Far to many small pieces that fall apart while you are assembling other pieces. It was seriously boring, tedious and I couldn't wait to finish it so I could forget about it. I also was given two pieces (6510144) so I couldn't even finish the build. I need (6510130). Also, the one stud piece at the front uses a sticker in this set, in all of the others it is a printed piece. The sticker is very small and requires steady hands to affix it properly. The end result is a nice looking car, but it wasn't worth the effort. F- for F1!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I think this is an excellent series. I love building the F1 sets. Only issue is how expensive they are.
