The best F1 LEGO sets for the racing fans in your life

Part of the LEGO Editions range which also includes other sporting tributes like the World Cup Trophy and Football, this is a replica build of Charles Leclerc's Formula One helmet.

Standing at 18cm tall, there's details including Leclerc's driver number, Ferrari's classic Prancing Horse logo and not forgetting a minifigure of the driver himself to complete the display.

F1 fans can also pick up the Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet for the same price from The Lego Store.

The 2026 Formula 1 season sees newcomers Cadillac arriving in the paddock, but Audi is joining the series too after buying out the independent Sauber team.

This upcoming LEGO City set features the new car with its silver, red and black livery and Audi's distinctive four-ring logo. Its 508 pieces include six tyres and two pit crew minifigures, while the truck has a driver cab and storage compartments, plus a lifting platform which the assembled car fits on.

The latest Formula 1-themed set in the Icons range is a tribute to one of the sport's most successful drivers. Michael Schumacher won seven drivers' titles – a record only equalled, as of 2026, by Lewis Hamilton. This 735-piece set honours Michael's F2004 Ferrari car, which he drove to victory in – you guessed it – the 2004 Formula 1 season. Like the other cars in the Icons series, it comes with its own stand bearing key facts about the vehicle, and a driver minifigure with racing helmet and a winner's trophy. The minifigure has a stand as well, with a plaque featuring an inspirational quote from Michael about his attitude towards racing. The car model measures 32cm x 13cm when fully assembled, and features authentic details from sponsor logos to its grooved Bridgestone-branded tyres.

LEGO's Speed Champions range is growing with the debut of Audi's new challenger. The successors to the Sauber team took to the starting grid for the first time this March in Australia, along with newcomers Cadillac – and you can celebrate with this 216-piece tribute. There's a purchase limit of 3 items, so enough for a team and some spare parts, if you need them...

Yes, there is a Speed Champions car for a fictional Formula 1 team now. The APXGP edition is decorated with the car's distinctive black and gold livery from the F1 movie. It has the same launch price as the 2025 Speed Champions models for the real-life F1 grid, and comes with minifigures of Brad Pitt's character Sonny Hayes and Damson Idris's character Joshua Pearce.

All 10 teams on the Formula 1 grid are featured for the first time in the 2025 Speed Champions set (pictured here is the VCARB car).

Each set has a similar number of pieces (between 242 and 275, depending on which option you choose) and comes with a tiny driver minifigure in team kit – simply lift up the halo section to place them in the car's cockpit once assembled.

The Ferrari SF-24 was one of two new Formula 1 entries added to the LEGO Technic range for the 2025 season. While this is at the pricier end of the range, just remember that it's still far cheaper than a real Ferrari would be.

This 1:8 scale tribute to Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc's 2024 car features 1,361 pieces. Due to the size and scale of its build, it's aimed at LEGO builders aged 18 years and over.

It has a removable engine cover so you can look at the LEGO replica of its V6 engine, and also includes a two-speed gearbox and movable steering.

The second new entry in the LEGO Technic series honours the Red Bull RB20, which Max Verstappen drove to his fourth consecutive world drivers' championship title.

Designed using the 2024 version of the brand's enduring blue, yellow and red livery, this Technic model contains 1,639 pieces. It has moveable steering and like the Ferrari car, it has a two-speed gearbox and a removable engine cover.

The LEGO Icons series also gets a new Formula 1-related entry with a tribute to 1992 world champion Nigel Mansell and his FW14B racing car.

Featuring Nigel's iconic red number 5 on its nose cone, the 799-piece set has working steering and a detailed engine, plus tiny replicas of the wide-profile Goodyear slick tyres used in the early 1990s. The car has a display stand featuring stats about its phenomenal performance.

Nigel's minifigure comes with trophy and racing helmet accessories, and has its own stand featuring an inspirational quote on his attitude to becoming a champion.

Introduce the younger LEGO and Formula 1 car fans in your life to the drama of an in-race pitstop with this new LEGO City set.

Its 322 pieces include a Ferrari car and four pit crew minifigures equipped with tiny wheel guns. Once assembled, the set has a lever that you can use to move the pit crew into position around the car.

The reigning constructors champions get their own LEGO City set, a quick build at just 86 pieces. It includes a driver minifigure – like the Speed Champions sets, once the car is assembled, simply lift the halo to place the figure inside.

This double-pack of LEGO City cars showcases two teams, Haas and Williams, with driver minifigures in team kit. The 92-piece set is another straightforward build and even includes a starter brick element for each car's base.

This flagship LEGO City piece is the most expensive build in that series, and the most intricate with 1,086 pieces. It's aimed at builders aged 8 years and above.

The truck is fully featured, with several opening panels to load cars in and out. The cab also lifts up to reveal the transporter's engine, and there's even a little simulator room on board. It's packaged with two driver and three crew minifigures, plus a tiny trophy.

If Formula 1 drivers get started in karting before school these days, then surely the same could apply with building LEGO? The Duplo range is aimed at the very youngest builders (this set is designed for those aged 2 years old and upwards).

The 70-piece set contains three car bases (with liveries for all the teams, so you can choose which ones to place on your cars). There's also a starting grid with the traditional five red lights and colourful flags, plus a podium with a winner's trophy and the official series logo.

The W14 may not have been a grand prix winner on track for Mercedes, but in the hands of Sir Lewis Hamilton and George Russell, it secured the team second place in the 2023 Formula 1 constructors' championship ahead of Ferrari.

Like the LEGO Technic McLaren car launched in 2022, this 1,642-piece set is aimed at builders aged 18 and over. It's at 1:8 scale and has a six-cylinder engine with moving pistons, "authentic livery details", moving steering, and a rear wing that opens if you want a DRS boost.

This item is available for a price cut over at Amazon (£141.99) and Very (£139.99).

What's Lightning McQueen doing here, you may ask? Well, Formula 1 drivers love him. Liam Lawson in particular will happily tell you at any given opportunity about why the Cars movies mean so much to him (see also Liam and his then-VCARB teammate Isack Hadjar pondering whether Lightning would have car insurance or life insurance). And don't forget that Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, and Fernando Alonso have all made voice cameos in Cars movies...

Anyway, getting to the point, this 270-piece model of the world's most famous anthropomorphic stock car has been selling fast, and we can see why – it's a loving tribute to the character, and a fitting celebration of the original movie's 20th anniversary.
