Driver position. Don't agree that it couldn't be done better at this scale. I already did a first approach of a new design and it works. 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. Get a bird’s eye view of the race at the hairpin corner with the TV camera rig featuring an adjustable camera arm and camera-style element. The Speed Champions 2021 Mercedes-AMG W12 is crazy to the last attempt at an AMG F1 car - the wheels are far more accurate scales, and modern F1 cars are much longer than they were in 2014. There's a working HALO (as we saw in the Formula E Jaguar) and decorated Pirelli branded tyres with blue wet weather stripes. Pirelli insisted on the treaded tyres having the blue band for realism - LEGO would have preferred white to match the design. Comparing this set with the 2017 Mercedes-AMG F1 cars is night and day in terms of realism and detail. Aston Martin have a huge endurance racing program alongside their F1 team and finally seeing their brand on some Speed Champions sets brings us our GT3 and prototype hit.

Some small notes on this one - the rear spoiler is actually an upside down dark green surfboard (first time LEGO have done this piece in this colour). Lamborghini Countach (76908) Would the steering wheel fit on plate 21445? Because that would allow to slide the driver one stud forward, recline him/her and then attach the wheel above the legs with the special plate 21445 - did not try it but might be (an element) of solution. 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.The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigures

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.Surely the practical answer (but not one Lego would do) is to take off the driver's legs and mount the torso on a 1x2 plate or 2. 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. As with the other 2022 sets, we've got built headlights and taillights and lots of detail in front and rear splitters on the Project One. Includes 8 minifigures: 2 MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team drivers, team manager, 2 engineers, hot dog vendor, cameraman and a race fan. The full LEGO Speed Champions 2022 line up featuring Mercedes-AMG, Lotus, Aston Martin, Ferrari and Lamborghini. With everything from F1 and Historic Le Mans racers to the supercars of the 80s and modern electric hypercars, there's something for every fan.

I have been looking forward to another Formula 1 car since Speed Champions' traditional scale was updated two years ago. 76909 Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance & Mercedes-AMG Project One does not disappoint, as Lewis Hamilton's car includes tremendous detail and has undoubtedly benefitted from the enlarged size, relative to previous Formula 1 cars from Speed Champions.The Project One hybrid hypercar is based on F1 technology and the car itself is presented in the grey and teal Petronas AMG F1 theme from previous years. We've got a low slung wide profile here, and the rear centre fin is a real focus of the model - reminiscent of the Porsche 919 and Audi R18 LMP1 sets. The MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS Formula One™ Team set features a grandstand, pit garage, pit wall, TV rig and 2 Mercedes F1 W07 Hybrid racing cars.

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"Watch the race with the race fan minifigure at the racing corner barrier with a high wall and doorway.
