LEGO's McLaren Formula 1 car gets price cut for BlackFriday;
£169.99You may recall that McLaren's 2022 drivers, Daniel Ricciardo and Lando Norris, got to go hands-on with the toy for its launch, as seen in the video above. The model was designed by experts at LEGO and McLaren working together.
While rival F1 team bosses obviously won't be able to pick up the finer details of the real thing, this model replicates the car's V6 engine in brick form .It's also got working steering and active suspension and has full wet tyres, complete with the new wheel covers which were introduced as part of the F1 cars' major redesign for this year.
However, to avoid leaks before time , this LEGO car's livery is actually a nod to the 2021 paint design .The car is 13cm high, 65cm long and 27cm wide, if you're working out where to put it when you've finished assembling all 1,432 pieces. James Key, who's McLaren Racing's executive director for all things technical on the Formula 1 team, said at launch:"We are excited to unveil the unique LEGO Technic model of our McLaren F1 car, a fun and engaging product that celebrates our 2021 season livery while giving fans a hands-on interpretation of the new 2022 F1 car design.
