2024 looks to be the year of LEGO and Formula 1 as we eagerly await a range of brand-new sets between the two brands. The first of these has now been officially revealed with it being the previously rumoured LEGO Icons set of 10330 F1 MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna. Recent 18+ brick-built vehicles have seen sales start to dwindle and so LEGO has gone all out with this most iconic and powerful racing car.
The iconic McLaren Formula 1 Car will be arriving on 1st March 2024 in brick-built LEGO form under the LEGO Icons branding and black boxes. The MP4/4 was used during the 1988 Formula 1 season where it absolutely dominated beating fierce competitors such as Ferrari and Williams. The car won 15 out of 16 races that season delivering a World Drivers Championship to McLaren's star driver, Ayrton Senna.
The Brazilian superstar driver himself is included in 10330 as an exclusive Minifigure. He includes a new printed torso and legs of the McLaren overalls he worse that season along with a printed helmet and a hairpiece for the iconic driver. LEGO Ayrton Senna sits on a small brick-built podium in white next to the main build of the MP4/4. Here there's a LEGO trophy for Aryton to hold along with a printed plaque with some details about the F1 driver.
As the official images show, the 1988 vehicle is unsurprisingly coloured white and red with plenty of stickers being used for iconic brands such as Honda and Shell. Many of the real-life features of the car are included here in LEGO form including its very boxy rear wing, its white front wing, a fairly open cockpit, a flexible suspension and much more. 10330 even includes slick tyres for the first time, making the LEGO model much more accurate.
