LEGO's Technic F1 sets are highly detailed and realistic, showcasing complex engineering features like working pistons, suspension, and gearboxes, making them impressive models for display and play, and reflecting real F1 car design intricacies.
Lego collaborates with automakers to capture the essence of real-life cars and transform them into plastic kits that can be assembled by kids and adults alike. The process involves using Technic elements, such as cogs, gears, and flexible elements, to replicate the curves and specific shapes of the cars. Lego designers even test drive the cars to capture every detail. The collaboration with McLaren has seen the recreation of the company's Formula 1 racer and a new Speed Champions set that includes the McLaren F1 and Solus GT.
