LEGO teams up with McLaren to put LEGO Speed Champions Race Car through its paces

The LEGO Group is going all in on its partnership with the McLaren Formula 1 team in the latest in a series of fun social media videos.

LEGO Speed Champions 76919 2023 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car is the latest racing-themed set to be featured in a series of the LEGO Group’s videos in collaboration with the McLaren Formula 1 team. The first saw Formula 1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in a quiz but now they’re getting up close and personal with (a render of) 76919 2023 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car.

The clip shows Oscar gradually turning up the power of a brick-built wind tunnel, eventually reducing the car to rubble – and Lando’s hair to a windswept mess. This is overseen by a photo of team principal Zak Brown.

From the sound of the LEGO Group’s caption, we should have more of these videos in store, suggesting a closer partnership between McLaren and the toy brand. Could this mean even more papaya-coloured sets on the way? We’ll have to wait and see.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
