And the price is eye waterin 239€ for 1300pcs set

products description says this has mgu-H gearbox and i see new piston elements and the gearbox 

[SNIPE]

Ok lego have upped their game here. good job.

Probably because they knew what we wanted as well as what CADA were doing. 🙂

Gearbox is awsome

New parts prints and recolors is awesome

I'm getting both F1 cars and the ducatti! ;DDDDDDDDDD

Nice to see a gearbox, finally something new. Also I wonder if the new engine blocks are just simply a new look, or a totoal redesign.

[BrickMonkeyMOCs]

Nice. There's a lot to like here, with the printed tires, 2-speed gearbox, new cylinder molds, and vastly improved shaping over the 2024 Mercedes set. Price is rather high though (fewer parts than previous 1:8 F1 models yet costs 20% more?), and it's a pity the front/rear tire width remains unchanged, especially given that Speed Champions and the Icons FW14 have both corrected for this. With the Speed Champion sets also going up in price (again!) I don't think I can justify getting the Red Bull as well as this.

Remember when 239.99 is the price point for a flagship set? Pepperridge farm remembers.

[Stereo]

Looks like the same piston size as ever, at first I thought it was just upside down cylinders but maybe it's a new mold without studs on top.

[Auroralampinen]

here is more pictures of this set:) 

[zonoskar]

The DRS flap seems to be connected with tan pins (no friction). Could we get a mechanism that deploys the DRS instead of a manual operation?

[Oh_Hi_Mao]

I don't get why they can't make wider rear tyres for a flagship f1 bolide. They have RnD done for slicks, moulds are engineered, materials selected. You just need a cm deeper mold for tyre and rim. I don't get it why they don't do this relatively  small investment (I know what I am talking because I'm working in manufacturing industry). I think that is a monetary strategy not to give all upgrades at once so people could be motivated to keep buying the sets almost the same sets every year.

[Mikdun]

Big minus for the wrong rear tire.

Also DRS seems not to be working (only hand movement).

At lease the shaping is better. I wonder if there will be any working suspension? And how the underside will look.

I was thinking about the same. But, funnily enough, they could do it at Icons to have printed and wider tires one year later, but not here...

My gues is new block and new piston, that will work with this:

But price higher than Merc (10€ more) for 300 pieces less is a bad joke.

The NZ price has gone from NZ$330 for the McLaren or Mercedes to $400 for this one.

Jeez... NZ$330 was already pretty steep for what the old sets offered.

I sure hope not and that it's just an aesthetic update to the engine block module.

[AVCampos]

I don't know... it would make radial and W engines a lot easier to build. The disadvantage would be the shorter stroke.

[Thirdwigg]

It's crazy how another day of information can change the tone on a set.

It looks like the set has a lot of new parts that are interesting to me; the pistons, the wishbones, the panels. Also, it looks like the steering link is a different length than we have had in the past (maybe 7, 8).

Yeah, it agree. I find the new system to be not very smooth. There is a reason the old engine blocks have been around for a while. They do work well.

[Zerobricks]

Seems the suspension arms are built from a 3L suspension arm which has a + crosshole plus two diagonals.

[Auroralampinen]

well i think the gearbox lever is new piece 

finally lego changed the steering wheel:) 

[NV Lego technic]

Is the 12t gear recolored? Also, I wonder what that gearbox could be for, maybe to simulate a hybrid or something.

Nah, seems just like 2 levers with 2L axles instead of one.

I was thinking whether the suspension arms are one big piece or built from 3 parts (two identical sides plus a central short liftarm with towball socket). I really hope that it's the latter. But what do you mean by diagonals? The two sides of the suspension arm assembly? Do you think that the suspension arm is 3L together with the towball socket, or that it has 3 holes besides the towball socket? I hope it's shorter because one with 3 holes would be too similar to the existing one with 4 holes.

Also, it seems that the side parts of the suspension arms are 7L, have one pinhole at the chassis end and two holes at the outer end, one of them being an axle hole. Then the central towball cosket adds two more studs, so the whole suspension arm assembly is about 9L. So the steering links may just he the existing 9L ones, but they do seem a bit more like axles, so they may be some new moulds without stop in the end. That would be really good.

The new 2L liftarm part with the towball (probably has an axle hole in the far end, and is mounted onto a 2x3 curved liftarm) is used in a pushrod style suspension I guess, with regular 6L links.

[Auroralampinen]

i wonder is this the designer or is this a lifestyle image:) 

[msk6003]

There is new type of 8t gear on steering wheel's axle. It looks like reddish brown and seems like slightly altered like new 45' knob wheel.

It means no more misaligned steering wheel!
