LEGO Formula 1 partnership: 2025 release dates for DUPLO, City, Speed Champions, Collectibles—set lists, prices, and pieces.
If you love F1 and bricks, 2025 is your year. LEGO and Formula 1 signed a multi-year deal that puts the full grid into sets for every age, from chunky DUPLO racers to detailed Speed Champions cars. On top of that, LEGO showed up at races with life-size, drivable brick cars and even handed out brick-built trophies. Below is a clear rundown of the partnership and the product schedule across DUPLO, City, Speed Champions, and Collectibles—with set names, numbers, prices, and dates so you can plan your buys.
Quick timeline: when each wave releases
- January 1, 2025: DUPLO and City sets go on sale.
- March 1, 2025: Speed Champions single-car kits for all 10 teams release (most were available for preorder in late 2024).
- May 1, 2025: LEGO “Collectibles” mini builds land, finishing the grid at pocket money prices.
Those three beats—January, March, May—cover the full public rollout. LEGO also supported the F1 season with on-track “Build the Thrill” events through the year.
What the LEGO × F1 partnership covers
This is a broad, multi-year partnership. The 2025 range features all ten F1 teams across different themes and price points. The aim is simple: let toddlers, kids, teens, and adult fans build the same sport at their level. You’ll see official team liveries, pit stop gear, paddock scenes, and minifigure drivers where it fits. LEGO also staged fan-zone activities at races, built content around the season, and pushed a “complete the grid” idea so collectors can represent every team on a shelf. youstickers.com
DUPLO (Age 2+): the starter grid
Set to know:
- 10445 F1® Team Race Cars & Drivers — 70 pcs, $44.99, Age 2+
This is the preschool entry point: big parts, big smiles, and simple builds. You get a starting grid, pit bits (crane, “tools”), a podium, and 10 color-coded cars that map to each team’s livery. Kids swap nose cones and driver bricks to “choose” the team, then push-race to the podium. It’s easy to rebuild, holds up to rough play, and gives parents a clean way to share race weekends with toddlers.
Why it works: the set teaches color matching and turn-taking (lights out, pit stop, podium) while quietly introducing team identity.
Release: January 1, 2025.
City (Age 4–8+): race-day scenes and role-play
The City wave builds out a full race weekend with trucks, a garage, a pit stop, and small team cars. Core sets and details:
- 60442 F1® Driver with McLaren Race Car — 86 pcs, $12.99, Age 6+
A compact McLaren car with a driver minifig. Good stocking stuffer or add-on. - 60443 F1® Pit Stop & Pit Crew with Ferrari Car — 322 pcs, $29.99, Age 6+
A neat little pit set with a tire-change function and four crew minifigs. - 60444 F1® Garage & Mercedes-AMG & Alpine Cars — 678 pcs, $79.99, Age 7+
Fold-out garage with launch bays, tools, two team cars, two drivers, four mechanics, and a trophy. - 60445 F1® Truck with RB20 & AMR24 F1 Cars — 1,086 pcs, $99.99, Age 8+
A big transporter plus two team cars (Red Bull and Aston Martin). It’s the “wow” City set. - 60464 Williams Racing & Haas F1 Race Cars — 92 pcs, $19.99, Age 4+
Simple builds to get very young fans racing with recognizable teams. - 60474 F1® Grid with VCARB & Sauber Race Cars — 313 pcs, $29.99, Age 6+
“Lights out” start grid play, with Visa Cash App RB and Sauber liveries.
Why it works: City sets let kids run the whole weekend—transport, grid, pit, garage—without high part counts. They’re sturdy, easy to rebuild, and rich in role-play.
Release for all City sets: January 1, 2025.
Speed Champions (Age 10+): display-ready team cars
Speed Champions is where most collectors will live. The 2025 range hits every team with individual cars, each at $26.99 USD, landing March 1, 2025. The builds use stickers and small SNOT tricks to capture nose shapes, bargeboards, wings, and Pirelli tires. Set list, numbers, and piece counts:
- 77242 Ferrari SF-24 F1® Race Car — 275 pcs
- 77243 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 F1® Race Car — 251 pcs

- 77251 McLaren F1® Team MCL38 Race Car — 269 pcs
What to expect in the box: one car, one driver minifigure (team suit and helmet), and a build at the current 8-stud-wide standard. Cars are roughly 20 cm/8 in long and scale well with recent SC Ferraris, Porsches, and Lamborghinis.
Release: March 1, 2025 (many regions offered preorders in November 2024).
Collectibles (Age 6+): pocket builds to “complete the grid”
- 71049 LEGO F1® Collectible Race Cars — 29 pcs each, $4.99, Age 6+
Small, quick builds themed to each team plus two F1-branded “show cars” (F1 and F1 ACADEMY). Think desk toys and trading fodder for kids—cheap enough to buy multiples and race on a track of baseplates.
Release: May 1, 2025.
Prices at a glance
- DUPLO: one set, $44.99.
- City: $12.99 – $99.99 across six sets.
- Speed Champions: ten sets, all $26.99 each.
- Collectibles: blind-style minis, $4.99 each.
That spread makes it easy to build a budget plan: pick a couple City sets for play, then add your team’s Speed Champions car for display.
On-track moments that made headlines
The products are only half the story. Two partnership stunts stood out:
- Miami Drivers’ Parade, May 2025: All 20 drivers completed a lap in ten drivable, near 1:1 LEGO F1 cars built from roughly 400,000 bricks each (plus real Pirelli tires). Top speed was around 20 km/h. It was a playful flex and a smart way to show the grid at once.
- Silverstone LEGO trophies, July 2025: The British Grand Prix podium lifted brick-built trophies (over 2,700 elements for the winner’s), another made-for-TV moment tied to F1’s 75th anniversary.
These touchpoints show the partnership goes beyond sets; it’s a season-long program aimed at families and younger fans.
Buying advice: how to choose
- For toddlers (2–4): DUPLO 10445 is the one-box answer. It’s durable, colorful, and supports color matching and simple stories.
- For kids (6–9): Pick one City car tied to a favorite driver, then add either the Pit Stop or Garage for longer play. The Truck gives the biggest “wow” if you want one big box.
- For teens and adults: Go straight to Speed Champions. Start with your favorite team, then fill gaps over time. If you collect Ferrari or McLaren broadly, note LEGO also lists larger display cars on the F1 hub that pair nicely with the 8-wide SC lineup.
- For gifts and desk builds: The Collectibles minis are low-risk and fun to trade.
What this means for 2026 and beyond
Covering the full grid in year one sets a clear path: expect refreshes as liveries change, more race-day scenes in City, and further event tie-ins around big GPs. The 2025 “build the grid” push also gives LEGO a baseline to spin up special editions or team bundles later.
Bottom line
LEGO’s Formula 1 partnership brought a complete, easy-to-follow schedule in 2025: DUPLO and City to start the season, Speed Champions to fill your shelf in March, and Collectibles to round out the grid in May. Whether you’re shopping for play or display, there’s a clean way to build your team—and the whole championship if you want.
