Ahead of the next thrilling race in Las Vegas, LEGO and Formula 1 have officially revealed the upcoming range of sets between the two global brands. These Formula 1 branded LEGO sets stretch across a wide range of themes from LEGO Icons and LEGO Technic to LEGO Speed Champions and LEGO Minifigures. And now we'll also be getting seven licensed LEGO City Formula 1 sets, all releasing on the 1st of January 2025.
Formula 1 cars have been seen in the LEGO City theme before, with the Octan racing team expanding into the global racing series. This also saw the release of the 60025 Grand Prix Truck, which is a very different take on racing than we see now. For example, the LEGO Speed Champions theme only releases the cars, not other elements such as team garages, the podium, and other elements of the racing setup.
Luckily, LEGO City will continue to include the other aspects of racing in the six LEGO Formula 1 branded sets releasing in a few weeks time. Each of the 10 teams is replicated here in a more simplified six-stud-wide form with no sponsors, unlike the LEGO Speed Champions counterparts. A lot of these cars are then included alongside the likes of a start/finish straight, a team garage and pit crew, a team truck and much more.
60442 F1 Driver with McLaren Race Car
The first LEGO City Formula 1 set is the most simple of the six with it being a brick-built version of the McLaren Formula 1 car. This time it's in a much simplified six-stud wide form with the orange and black colour scheme and the McLaren logo on the front wing. The build of the car uses the new wheels seen in the LEGO Mario Kart sets and includes a single-driver Minifigure.

60443 F1 Pit Stop & Pit Crew with Ferrari Car
From McLaren to one of their greatest rivals, Ferrari, 60443 sees the Ferrari F1 car in this six-stud wide form. Similar to the McLaren, it uses the Mario Kart wheels and comes with no sponsors, making for an almost entirely red race car. But the car isn't the main build of the set as we have a brick-built pit stop and pit crew consisting of plenty of screens full of telemetry data along with pit crew accessories and extra tyres for the Ferrari race car.
Set Name - F1 Pit Stop & Pit Crew with Ferrari Car

60444 F1 Garage & Mercedes-AMG & Alpine Cars
Along with the pit crew we need the actual garage to store the cars which 60444 includes along with the Mercedes and Alpine Cars. Both are six studs wide like the McLaren and Ferrari but are somewhat more colourful with the Alpine in particular including blue and pink as its colour scheme.
These two F1 cars can then be placed inside the brick-built garage which is made out of roughly three sections. The middle section is where the two cars are stored with an open wall where a trophy is stored running between them. The other two sections are more walls of the garage which can be easily opened and closed to get access to the busy interior full of F1 machinery, accessories and Minifigures.

60445 F1 Truck with RB20 & AMR24 F1 Cars
60445 F1 Truck with RB20 & AMR24 F1 Cars is the largest of the six sets and includes the Astron Martin and the Red Bull car in brick-built LEGO form. The $100 set also includes a total of five Minifigures: two pit stop workers, a truck driver and two different Formula 1 drivers for their respective teams.
The F1-branded truck is the main build of the set and like most of these F1 City sets, it's coloured mainly black with a few hints of red and white. The truck can be fully opened to access a small but detailed interior. Here the two cars can be placed along with pit crew accessories and a small office for one of the pit stop workers to assess the current data and lap times.

60464 F1 Williams Racing & Haas F1 Race Cars
One of the key aims of the LEGO and Formula 1 partnership was to appeal to fans of all ages and so its not a surprise to be getting a 4+ LEGO City F1 model with 60464 F1 Williams Racing & Haas F1 Race Cars. As the name suggests, both the Willliams and Haas cars are included in the six-stud wide form but also in a much simpler 4+ form. Two driver Minifigures are also included in the $20 set.

Both of these cars are included with the F1 grid of the lights to get the race started.
