This is a typical ICON set. Instruction book is clear, but much is left for the experienced builder to study the graphics and make the correct block snap to the correct spot. Also, the tires with the Goodyear logo and the correct sizes front versus rear make a big difference and a bigger impression.
Very fun to assemble this one, and it looks great next to my MP4/4!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Build

At a very relaxed pace, this build took me 7 hours and 35 minutes. It could have been half that if you're into plowing straight through as fast as you can. As with the Ayrton Senna marlboro car, it's not incredibly parts dense. It is, however, an very nice display piece. Fairly accurate to the real thing, especially the exterior, and the colors really pop. As far as play, I don't do that but it could be played with being a pretty sturdy build. Really, the only niggle with it is the price. These are priced at least $20 too high due to density of parts. The engine area is only a suggestion of what it looked like and there is no transmission of any kind. Overall, while being priced a bit high with a short to medium build time, it was a joy to build and now display. Would recommend to a friend especially if you can catch it on sale.

Fun build for the F1 fan

This is a fun build, particularly if you want something between the big F1 cars and the speed champions. Easy to build, but with 800 pieces it can be spread out over a week or two. I built it while listening to the How to Build a Car audiobook by Adrienne Newey. In fact he has a whole chapter on the real car, which made the build even more fun. Kudos on the display stand and mini figure. That really makes the set.

I have yet to get this set but my friend got one and let me build it for him. I saved up for the Mp4 last year and that was really cool to see F1 in that scale! but from building it a lot had improved from the Mp4 witch was really cool to see! one thing that I noticed was that the build had a lot less printed pieces but I think that was a good choice so it ended up being the same price as the Mp4. Well overall it was really cool and fun, and it would be really cool to keep this theme going, and I promise if Im not to broke that I would love to perches another one. thanks lego!

Another legendary F1 car. I really enjoyed the building process and the final result looked beautiful. The wider rear tires definitely elevated the final look

Solid Purchase for Lego and Formula One Fans
on July 2, 2025
Posted by: rondagrace2024_5970
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 17-year-old grandson put this LEGO set together, and he absolutely loved it! It took him about three days to complete, and it kept him fully engaged the entire time. As a big fan of Formula 1 and LEGO, this was the perfect combination. The design is impressive and really captures the iconic look of the Williams Racing FW14B and Nigel Mansell’s era.
The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the model is a bit delicate once built. It tends to come apart easily if not handled carefully, especially when moving it from one spot to another. It’s definitely more of a display piece than a play item. Still, it was a great experience overall and a fun challenge for a teen builder!

Do you like stickers?

Unfortunately, it was made by LEGO. The build experience was boring, and whoever designed it might want to reconsider their career path. But hey, if you love overpriced sets and an excessive amount of stickers, this one’s perfect for you!
