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

Product Information

This rendition measures 19cm long and strikes a perfect balance between size and detail, providing equal play and display value. I forgot to mention that there is also a very simple solution to avoid any horizontal movement of the part 6365505 (the grey flag with the 44 in the rear side).

I do think it looks better with the spoiler though, gives it more of a complete look, and how they fitted that aircraft tail into the body, that is incredible.

LEGO® recreations of the Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance and Mercedes-AMG Project One – 2 replica models. Impressive detail continues around the cockpit, where exclusive teal accessory holders form wing mirrors. Alternative parts and stickers are included to represent Valtteri Bottas' car, featuring the racing number 77 and a yellow camera mount above the airbox.Brickset, the Brickset logo and all content not covered by The LEGO Group's copyright is, unless otherwise stated, ©1997-2023 Brickset ltd. Teal suits the Mercedes team nicely and this element originated with the recent Bird-watcher Collectable Minifigure. Speed Champions occasionally features minifigures inspired by real people, although the yellow skin tone traditionally associated with original characters remains. 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. Perfect for display, the collectible models are also great for thrilling race action against other vehicles from the Speed Champions range.

The airbox and vertical fin towards the back are definitely reminiscent of Mercedes AMG Formula 1 cars, while the light bluish grey and black livery, with teal decoration, also matches the team's standard colour scheme. Only those grey parts for the front axle stand out too much to me, I think black would have been better here. It's a bit like how the F1 video games for the season come out in the summer rather than the start of the season - the developers don't know what the cars will look like, who will be driving, what tracks will be on schedule, etc. The teal stripes decorating each side look marvellous too, especially since they only involve stickers where truly necessary. These sets allow you to build models of iconic Mercedes vehicles, such as the Mercedes-AMG GT3, the Mercedes-AMG GT, and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.The Mercedes W12 car model is 4cm high, 19cm long and 7cm wide, and keen F1 fans will notice that it comes supplied with full wet Pirelli tires (identifiable by the blue branding on the outside wall). 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. This means, that 1x 3068b Black (stickered), 1x 80324 LBG (stickered) and 15573 Yellow or Black remain after the build. This is the first Mercedes in the 8-module wide format, but of course a 6-wide version exists in 75883 Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team, from 2018. No batteries required – The cars in this playset are powered by kids' imaginations, so there's no need for a pit stop!
