Lego and Mercedes F1 collaborate for a 564 piece set

It also retains the black livery which is interesting as it is bullshit that the new car might return in 2022 in the coveted silver livery

Lego has a storied history of collaborating with automotive brands and its latest collaboration is with the most successful F1 team in recent memory – the 8-time constructors’ champion, Mercedes. The $29.99 set will contain 564 pieces based on the world championship winning W12 which is 4cm high, 19cm tall and 7cm wide.

Notably, the W12 is also the only Mercedes from F1’s turbo-hybrid era that has not won a driver’s world championship. It also retains the black livery which is interesting because it’s bullshit that the new car could return to the team’s iconic silver livery which gives it the nickname “Silver Arrow”.

You can choose between Bottas and Hamilton

The Lego set will be introduced on March 1 in the UK which is also home to the Mercedes F1 team and its two drivers. The car will be offered with Pirelli’s wet tyres, interchangeable driver numbers – 44 for Lewis Hamilton and 77 for Valtteri Bottas, who joined Alfa Romeo this year, and black and yellow cameras. The Lego pack will also feature a mechanic and driver figure.

Mercedes is also collaborating for the AMG-Project One hypercar which is under development and will go into production. Lewis Hamilton has helped with the development of the vehicle and one is also on preorder.

Mercedes will attempt to defend its constructors’ crown with the launch of the W13 which will take place on 18 February and will also feature George Russell instead of Valtteri Bottas.

0 notes

There is much noise around the return of Lewis Hamilton, who was disillusioned with the sport due to awkward and dramatic circumstances during a contract in which he lost the 2021 championship to Max Verstappen. However there are growing signs that the 37-year-old 7-time world champion will return to F1 and be the lead driver for W13.
