How to build a 2025 LEGO Racing Bulls F1 car

Update your LEGO Speed Champions Formula 1 line-up with a simple solution to build out a 2025 Racing Bulls F1 car.

Nine of the 10 Formula 1 teams barely changed their livery design from the 2024 to 2025 season, meaning that the LEGO Speed Champions range that launched this March and is based on the 2024 designs, sits very pretty on shelves and is still very relevant in design for F1 LEGO fans.

But, one team did dramatically change their livery for the 2025 season, to arguably the best livery design of the entire grid too – VCARB / Racing Bulls. Switching from a blue and silver design to an almost all-white paint job with red-and-yellow Red Bull-branded markings across the nose and engine cover represented a big change for the Red Bull junior team and, as a result, has left 77246 Visa Cash App RB VCARB 01 F1 Race Car sitting awkwardly in the LEGO Formula 1 Speed Champions line-up.

However, building out a custom LEGO Racing Bulls F1 car isn’t too tricky, if you are prepared to pick up a copy of 77243 Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20 F1 Race Car and lay out an additional £15 or so on extra parts.

The 2025 Racing Bull is effectively a white version of the Red Bull, so simply creating a parts list on BrickLink, selecting just the dark blue parts and changing their colour to white gives you almost all you need for a basic recolour and a close resemblance to the 2025 car currently being driven by Isack Hadjar and Liam Lawson. The cost of those parts will come in around £12.

The most expensive part outside of this list, at least currently, would be the white hose piece for the halo around the driver’s head – this is only available in 77250 MoneyGram Haas F1 Team VF-24 and, at the time of writing, is listed individually on BrickLink for £3.75…

The nose is where things get a little tricky in design, as you need to pick out a 1×2 yellow wedge, a 1×4 white wedge and a red plate with clip and implement an unconventional but effective technique to best mimic the front end of the car. Likewise, play around with the sidepods a little bit to try and recreate the large dark blue VISA sponsor on the car, and the front wing design to represent the red HUGO wording – can you find a better solution than we did?

For minimal cost, though, we’re happy to add this custom to our LEGO Speed Champions line-up.
