Earlier this year the first 18+ LEGO Formula 1 sets released and exactly a year later another 18+ F1 set will hit shelves, once again under the LEGO Icons theme. 2024 felt like it was a big year for LEGO and F1 with sets across Icons, Speed Champions and Technic but that was only the beginning of the partnership which will further expand in 2025.
One of the many LEGO F1 branded sets releasing next year and that have been revealed over the past few days is 10353 Williams Racing FW14B & Nigel Mansell. The 18+ model is very similar to this years 10330 McLaren F1 MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna but instead focusing on the Williams Racing F1 team and another iconic driver in Nigel Mansell. 10353 releases on the 1st of March 2025 with a total of 799 pieces included for $79.99 / €79.99 / £69.99.
As the name suggests, 10353 is a brick-built recreation of the FW14B that propelled Nigel Mansell to victory in the 1992 Formula 1 World Championship. The Williams Formula 1 car is in the same scale as the MP4/4 from March this year even though it is slightly more compact measuring over 3 inches (7 cm) high, 12 inches (31 cm) long and 5.5 inches (15 cm) wide.
The iconic FW14B comes in a beautiful blue, yellow and white colour scheme complete with the team's real-life sponsors and the number 5 which belonged to Nigel Mansell at the time. The brick-built Formula 1 car features working steering, wide rear slick tires with printed Goodyear lettering and a detailed engine. The whole model sits on a grey adjustable display stand that also contains a printed information plaque about the iconic car.
Along with the incredible racing car, the $80 set also includes an exclusive Minifigure of Nigel Mansell himself. He includes an exclusive facial expression along with new printing on his torso and legs for his racing suit from the 1992 Formula 1 season. Similar to Aryton Senna from 10330, Mansell stands on a podium-style display stand featuring a photo and a quote from the legendary British driver
