LEGOs Formula 1 reveals just keep on coming with the two global brands now revealing another set based on their multi-year partnership. The deal between the two brands was first announced in September and with three races left of the Formula season in 2024, LEGO have officially revealed the F1 branded sets for the new year. One of these includes an entire Minifigures series based on Formula 1 and its ten different teams...
Just this year we saw the LEGO Minifigures theme partake in LEGO's epic year of Space with the release of 71046 Series 26 Space. Exactly a year later on the 1st of May 2025, we'll officially see 71049 LEGO F1 Collectible Race Cars race onto shelves with the official F1 logo and branding. The second LEGO Minifigures series of 2025, after 71048 Series 27 in January, will retail for the usual price of $4.99 / €3.99 / £3.49 in the scanable blind boxes.
However, 71049 does not consist of full Minifigures and is instead similar to the old LEGO Racers theme from 2002. Each figure has a small buildable F1 car with Minifigure heads and the new helmet moulds attached. All 10 of the current Formula 1 teams are represented along with two extra, standard car designs that are a subtle nod to the all-female racing series F1 Academy.
