LEGO Officially Teases LEGO Editions McLaren Formula 1 Helmets For 2026

The LEGO Group has officially teased the next additions to the growing LEGO Editions Formula 1 helmet collection, with McLaren stars Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris set to receive their own brick-built recreations this June. Following the recent Ferrari releases based on Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton last month, the spotlight now shifts to the reigning McLaren duo this summer.

Shared across LEGO's official social media channels, the teaser heavily hints towards two papaya coloured McLaren themed sets featuring references to both drivers, all but confirming long-standing rumours surrounding 43017 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Oscar Piastri Helmet and 43023 McLaren Mastercard F1 Team Lando Norris Helmet.

The teaser itself is suitably mysterious, showing two sealed LEGO-themed crates plastered with McLaren-inspired markings, racing labels and driver references. Eagle-eyed Formula 1 fans will quickly spot the use of "LN4" ("LN1" for 2026) and "OP81", directly pointing towards Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, while McLaren's own response across social media only added more fuel to speculation surrounding the upcoming reveal.

Beyond simply expanding the LEGO Editions Formula 1 lineup, these two helmets appear to carry a much bigger story for McLaren fans. Rather than recreating the drivers' standard 2026 season helmets, both builds are believed to celebrate McLaren's landmark 1000th Formula 1 Grand Prix appearance, one of the most significant milestones in the team's long and successful history.

The designs themselves are expected to draw inspiration from McLaren's special anniversary helmet liveries, blending the team's unmistakable papaya orange branding with visual nods to each driver's personal identity. Oscar Piastri's version reportedly combines McLaren papaya with contrasting blue tones and clean graphic panels, while Lando Norris' build is thought to incorporate his signature fluorescent yellow and glitch-style detailing.
