LEGO 76909 Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance & Mercedes-AMG Project One

Product Information

I have a question! Is there any other Lego theme that shows the logo of the clothes manufacturer on a minifigure? In the case of the F1 driver there are Puma logos on the racing overalls. I have other Speed Champions minifigures that display maker's logos, like Alphastar and Sparco, on their overalls." is almost absurdly cheap. I guess they didn’t expect it to sell as well in the USA sincw F1 is traditionally less popular here, but that’s changing rapidly. The fact that this set sold out on the first day of its US sale says a lot.

Interestingly after watching me build LEGO for over a decade, my wife decided to give it a try and her preference is Speed Champions! She’s never been overly interested in cars, but has really enjoyed the builds. The complexity and size are just right for an evening. Her being a MotoGP fan may help as well! Interesting to see the rear spoiler on the project 1, considering its absent from the actual car ... " The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures An alternative hat and hair component accompanies this driver. Teal suits the Mercedes team nicely and this element originated with the recent Bird-watcher Collectable Minifigure. Neither minifigure includes a double-sided head, but a pearl silver wrench is present for removing the wheel inserts.

Other Details

The first Formula 1 grand prix of 2022 takes place on March 20, with the traditional car launches, shakedowns and testing in the weeks prior. Tyres have presented consistent issues when developing LEGO Formula 1 cars, particularly for smaller models. This car therefore includes the standard wheels introduced during 2020, albeit with printed wheel caps originating from 75891 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Race Car. These widen the tyres somewhat and feature Pirelli branding, which looks superb.

I was wondering what you would think, Lluís, given your selection of minifigure-scale F1 cars! I agree regarding the tyres, but the minifigure is already sitting on the base of the chassis, so changing that would entail adapting the bodywork, rather than lowering the seat further. As well as a toy F1 car, you'll be able to build a LEGO version of a Mercedes AMG Project One hypercar, the company's high-end vehicle which takes its F1 tech straight to the road (or will when it's eventually released in real life – it's not even gone into production yet according to Carmagazine ). This stylish fin is ingeniously assembled using a 2x6x4 vertical stabiliser, attached with Technic pins and partially hidden inside the body. Plates and tiles are then fitted sideways beside the fin, closing any gaps. The entire structure slots together seamlessly and colourful elements, such as the red 1x1 round tile with bar shown below, are concealed when the bodywork is finished. Additionally, the blue colour denotes full wet tyres, loosely reflecting their rough tread pattern. Completely new tyres would have been welcome though and could have proven useful in the future. The structure beneath the rear wing seems fairly bulky, but provides ample support for the apparently fragile wing, which is actually deceptively sturdy!

I had to do some some "internal" changes, but they don't affect the exterior, except the vertical support of the halo. I had to use another part for it, but I'm thinking right now how to improve. I already have some ideas... :D" The set consists of a Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance and AMG Project One and 2 driver minifigures, each with a racing helmet. It includes interchangeable driver numbers for both Lewis (44) and Valtteri (77). The dark colour scheme, not traditionally associated with Mercedes AMG, originates from the 2020 and 2021 Formula 1 seasons, representing a commitment towards diversity. This design takes inspiration from the 2021 car and closely resembles its source material, particularly since the grey section behind the airbox is unique. Accurate teal and dark red highlights are included as well.Quality in focus – LEGO® components meet strict industry standards to ensure they're consistent, compatible and fun to build with Born and raised in the States - never heard it before. The expression caught my eye and I was wondering if it was something I wasn’t familiar with, is a bit out of date, or maybe was written by someone not from here originally! Well, just look what happened with the Technic McLaren.... Rather late but good than early and completely off... The simple answer is to modify the section of the steering wheel, to make it fly over the legs of the driver. Then you can put the driver 1 stud advanced, compared to the original position. With this change you can recline the driver and his position is more realistic.

LEGO has announced a buildable model of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas' Mercedes Formula 1 car, which will be available to buy a few weeks before the new season starts in mid-March.

Colour summary

it just seems rather strange to release the 2021 car days before the 2022 cars start racing. And of course they are completely different and Bottas isn't driving for them.....Maybe they were planned to release much earlier but didnt?"
