The family lego technic continues to grow, and the goal of the Danes continues to be to convince you that their constructions are not just for children. The latest toy to join the family is a replica of the car with which they will compete this year 2022combined with a livery inspired by the McLaren MCL35Mthe Formula 1 single-seater with which the British firm competed last season in the great circus and was classified as the fourth best team.
LEGO Technic x McLaren Racing. it’s friday then
All of us who closely follow the F1 For years we have known that 2022 is a key date for the competition. The change in the FIA regulations for this season will lead to the design of ten totally different cars, and we will not know exactly anything until the engines and aerodynamics of the single-seaters are measured on the asphalt.
To mark this historic moment, LEGO has made a collaboration with McLaren Racing. And, even if you are not a big fan of the papaya team, if you like F1 you will want to get it. It is a 1,432-piece model kit13 centimeters in height and 65 in length with which you will be able to recreate the McLaren MCL36M concept which they presented to the press a few days ago. And, like the livery of the new single-seater can evolve in a few weeks, we have opted for the safe, placing the last year car decorationare their colors and their sponsors.

Despite being made from LEGO bricks, this McLaren not a detail is missing. The cylinders of the V6 engine are articulated. The steering wheel gives direction to the wheels. It has a differential and the DRS can also be oriented, as in the real model. Daniel Ricciardo himself hallucinates by pressing the car against the table and discovering that he even has active suspension. On the one hand, the Australian, who is the older of the two, makes it clear that it is not a toy for children. And, on the other hand, you can clearly see the illusion that makes him dedicate a toy like this. However, the decision to create this product could be more aimed at the sad financial situation in which this historical brand finds itself at the moment.
Price and release date
The LEGO and McLaren F1 car will cost approximately $179 and it will hit stores next March 1st, so if you get your hands on it, you’ll have three weeks to ride it before the 2022 championship kicks off in Sakhir – hence Daniel’s joke on Norris. And now that we’ve mentioned Lando, the Brit is very quiet during the video. Is it because he is too shy or because the Pirelli extreme rain tires on the kit have brought back his worst nightmares as he remembers last year’s Russian Grand Prix?
