LEGO Speed Champions 77258 F1 ACADEMY LEGO Race Car Officially Revealed | March 2026

With 77252 APXGP Team Race Car from F1 The Movie releasing in January and all ten F1 teams appearing in brick-built form earlier this year, the LEGO Group are now expanding into F1 Academy. In 2026, the LEGO Group will both sponsor a female driver and field a car in the all-female series, and release a widely available model based on the Formula 4 level racing championship.

This set, in particular, once again being released under the LEGO Speed Champions line, is 77258 F1 ACADEMY LEGO Race Car. The 10+ model includes 201 pieces retailing for $27.99 / €27.99 / £22.99. A single LEGO Minifigure is included in the 2026 set in LEGO F1 Academy racing overalls and includes both a white helmet and a hairpiece. The figure is generic, but the LEGO F1 Academy team will have Esmee Kosterman behind the wheel.

The car itself is a very different build from the previous LEGO Formula 1 Speed Champions sets due to the vehicle being a Formula 4 model. There's the standard cockpit covered by the halo, a rear wing and tyres imprinted with "Pirelli". Most strikingly, the car includes a special LEGO F1 Academy livery with yellow LEGO branding mixed in with blue and pink, which are commonly associated with the all-female racing series.
