  • This is the review of the LEGO Technic 42141 McLaren F1 race car set that will be released in March 2022, but it is not a model of the 2022 McLaren F1 car. The set has 1432 pieces, and the price is 179,99 EUR/USD. Check out my detailed building review of the set and what do I think about it.

    I'm a big F1 fan, and like technic sets, so I guess I am in the minority saying that I absolutely love this set! It looks superb! I don't mind that it's not the accurate 2022 car, F1 cars evolve from race to race anyway, so you can make a thousand interpretations of a correct model. I like McLaren's last year colour scheme more than the 2022 livery so I don't mind the "wrong" colour scheme either. And when it comes to technic sets, I really don't care about the functions. I buy these sets to be displayed

      I have similar feelings about it! If I just take this set as it is, I think it looks great, especially for a Technic set. Technic sets when based on real vehicles and going for realism are often stuck in this weird middle point where they look close enough but not detailed enough at the same time - I think Balazs talked about this himself in a couple videos. But I think this F1 car does actually look great in that respect.
      I like functions but with this one I don't care, I just want to put it on a shelf. Also I'm by no means a Technic or Lego die hard fan; I only got my first couple sets recently so that's a factor as well.
      And same as you, I actually don't like 2022 McLaren livery all that much compared to this. To me it's actually interesting that this model is different in lots of ways from the real one - it's this kind of alternative history thing. I agree with Balazs that it would maybe make more sense to release set like this after cars were revealed, but I think the real problem is just the messaging around it, having 2022 on the box and all that. The model itself is cool imo and I'll get it for sure. Don't really care if it's true to life :)

  • @emkej1605

    I agree with the point you made in the video - this set is a missed opportunity. They could have either release a fully 2021 car (like they did with SC set) or release this set later in the year - so we could get a proper 2022 livery and more real things from new car. As both F1 and Technic fan I will maybe pick this up at massive discount but still not sure about that.

Missing a traditional v6 engine instead of the mini 6L engine but it’s a huge and compact build overall that will occupy you for at least 10 hours.

    Wonderful video as always. Great rundown on the ins and outs of this kit. At least it's pretty with nice suspension. A shame for all it's follies. Unfortunately as an older Lego fan re-entering the scene, THIS is my entry point and will be buying one. I have missed all the previous set iterations and I mourn for my loss. At least it is a nice parts pack for my entry into F1 Lego cars and their suspension intricacies. The tires will be a nice addition as well as I have none of these, and I love it's color and shape. I will likely try to stuff motors into it and play with it's tire arrangement with monster truck leanings. Thanks again for your detailed video, and all your insights into the kits that you show!!

      The big draw of technic for me are solely the functions. I love sets with elaborate functions which also very educational. The looks are less important to me. Because of this, I'm a bit disappointed with lego technic the last few years, as the focus seems to solely be on looks, not functions. It's also 90% cars, cars and cars.

I think it’s a good looking set and the fact that it isn’t perfect makes it have a great story about all the differences between this set and the 2021 and 2022 cars, its almost like this set is its own car concept separate from the 2021 and 2022 Mclaren cars.

    Even as casual Technic builder I think this model presents enough of a challenge to build without adding more complexities to it. Having built the Rally car from a few years back for a lot less I can honestly see why most Technic fans would be disappointed as it literally has the same three features at a lower cost/price point with the addition of an opening engine bay, HOG steering mechanism, and always appreciative B model. Though I may not mind personally a moderately difficult build such as this I feel for others to really get there money's worth Lego needs to not always depend on the 18+ market where aesthetics/displayability become more important than the functions/build quality. I do like the new super useful parts, and color change from red to black for the 1x1 technic axels to keep them less visible. Now if Lego could only do the same with blue pins.

    Not sure if it's already been said, but you can get the steering wheel straight. I had the same problem initially, but you can adjust it by rotating the gear above the steering rack in relation to the steering rack. Note that by the time you realise this (when installing the steering wheel) it is a lot of work to get access to the steering rack gear.

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can compensate it by rotating the black 12 tooth gear by one tooth, but since the other 2 gears used have only 8 teeth the steering wheel still won't be perfectly straight.

    Will be interesting once the die hard Lego fans get hold of it and start adding functions. There seems to be a big space in front of the engine to move it forward to make more space for a gearbox, and an actuated DRS will be fun. Not to mention someone will no doubt add body length Venturi tunnels (and they'll probably work better than Mercedes current offer too!!!).

    I'm a F1 fan who likes even the smallest technicalities in the cars, tracks and rules. As a lego fan, I haven't bought or even built a set in years and when I did I wasn't the biggest technic fan. For me I would love to buy this as a decoration in my home as I understand why they made the choices for this set. the differences for the real and lego cars are just unforunate based on the release of this set and well, it is what it is. For the liverly the 2021 was better for me so I see this as a win-win

    I'm a casual builder but an F1 fan. I really only bought this to display in the mancave and I understood everything with the new regs would be secret however, I wouldn't mind waiting for a more accurate 2022 car or getting a 2021 car. Either way it looks like it will be a fun build and I wouldn't mind displaying it. I do wish it came with slick tires though.

    I completely agree. They should if held off release date until F1 season had started to create a more true depiction of the 2022 model. Plus I still can’t get my head around why they didn’t finish off the front with some shuttle curves to create a more visual front end

    I will be buying this, even though it's not accurate, I'm a sucker for anything car related in Lego, plus i usually just display these on my wall. It would have been nice if everything was more accurate of course but in this case it doesn't dampen my enthusiasm for it. Great video.

    Those almost like framework looking pieces are great! The first ever beams to be longer than 15L. Can't wait to grab some from Bricklink someday. And yeah, this is literally the only thing i'm excited about in this set haha.
    I hope this model wont be limited so that there will be alot of those pieces! And I also hope those framework pieces will be used in other models, too, to make them more accessible and less costly.

    Big F1 fan and big Lego fan here - I was waiting for McLaren car reveal and video of Dany and Lando unveiling this popped up in my TH-cam and I decided I need to have it. Managed to buy it already and received it on Monday. Last year livery doesn't bother me cause I actually liked it and still have mixed feelings about current one. Car generally meets my expectations - it is 2022 spec car. As for changes they could have done - size doesn't bother me that much but would prefer it on slicks. I think that the idea behind this tires was that this are showdown tires (the tires that team can run for 100km photo session). Suspension setup child be nice if it was modular from the start to easily swap between pull and push rod but it will give me extra fun trying to rebuild it myself. I already have done ideas about improving the design and maybe motorize it. So as a set I would give it 7.5/10. But I hope will bring me more fun trying to reach 10/10. Actually if it was 10/10 from the box would be less fun (that I hope it will be)

  • @Lister373

    This seems like a set that was designed to display alongside the other Technic 1:8 sets, where the criticism has been that the elaborate functions won’t ever be used once they’re completed, as they’re primarily display models. At half the retail price of one of those sets, it might be called a bargain, but as an F1 and Technic fan, I’m not sure that I can justify spending the money on this set due to the inaccuracies and the lack of exciting features.
    Great objective review, as always. Would love to see a side by side with the other 1:8 cars in the future!

    • @steveflatman
      @steveflatman ปีที่แล้ว

      If, as you say it's a display piece, then surely the look has to be more accurate. It's effectively an approximation of a generic 2022 F1 car in last year's McLaren colours, it either needs wow functionality or stunning looks, this set is sadly a bit meh on both fronts.

    • @Lister373
      @Lister373 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@steveflatman yes, but in fairness it’s also half the price/piece count of the other 1:8 sets. It’s a super quirky set to be sure, but in my opinion it was worth the price charged. I 1000% respect other people’s opinion who don’t think it was worth it though! If you are saying that it would have been better still to have an accurate representation of the 2021 car, or a much delayed, but accurate version of the 2022 car then I am also in agreement with you there, but not enough to not get this one.

    @gstephane1985 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm a Formula 1 fan and a Lego Technic fan too. I like the look of this one and I understand why they can't pull out the new livery and be ready for the release of the model at the same time. Anyway, I prefer this colour scheme to the new Maclaren livery. I think it would have been possible to incorporate a gear box in the there with apparent shifters in the body work, that would have been awesome. Instead we get the bare minimum for a Technic set... Fair review...

    @marcelofrings2942 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Interesting views… I bought this one as my first Technic set ever, simply because I’ve always liked F1 and I want this as a showpiece in my home office (I grew up in Brazil watching Senna, so will always have a soft spot for McLaren, no matter the livery or the driver’s lineup). I’m anticipating I’ll get more frustrated with the building process itself (last time I touched a Lego set Senna was still alive) than with accuracy (or the lack of) or precision… Looking forward to start building it and more importantly displaying it.

  • @blubbntroet

    It looks sooo good! Only thing I don’t understand are the tires…
    New ones came with city traktor, jeep and the monster truck pullbacks but for such a display model, especially with other cars potential of reusing them they don’t come up with new ones…
    Especially with so many new parts

    I'm both an F1 fan, a McLaren fan and a Lego fan. The reduction in features and increase in cost vs the old generic F1 racing car is disappointing. So is the front wheel choice. I can forgive the inaccuracies due to the timescales of design/'production, but I REALLY hope some modification is possible to flip the suspension to pull-rod up front. I'd swap out the front wheels and tyres too. Overall I like it though.

    Huge LEGO fan who has only seen a handful of F1 races in my lifetime. I like the model itself, but after you pointing out everything in relation to the subject material, I’m disappointed. These are very expensive models so more accuracy is much appreciated. I’ll still grab it before retirement and add it to my LEGO garage.

  • @htetnayl

    I've just ordered a set and it's on the way. As one of the F1 and Lando's fans, I am excited to build one and display it at home. This will be my first lego technic, so I hope it won't disappoint me. I don't mind about the Livery or design which Lego tried to merge the design and livery of 2021 and 2022. However, there are some features that I wished Lego should have done or given effort to design. The first one is the engine cover. I wished it should have an engine cover piece for those who want to display it as a real f1 car. Secondly, the front wings. It would be nice if there is a feature that the front wing is removable. Third, it would be better if there is a curve on DRS. These are the points that I have seen so far before opening the package and building one.

    I am a big Lego Technic and McLaren F1 fan and don’t really understand why Lego couldn’t have just waited until the 2022 car was released or just made it as the 2021 car. It just makes no sense! Surely it would’ve sold a lot better that way. As for the lack of features I’m not too bothered as they won’t hardly get used and the car will just be a display peice.

  • @hbalazs931
    @hbalazs931 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am a huge F1 fan and a casual builder who loves nice display LEGO models (e.g. Sian, Chiron, but also creatir expert models, like the 911 Turbo) and I can say, I was 100% sure that I will buy this set from the first moment announced officially. F1 cars are simply so rare in modern Lego sets that I could not miss the opportunity. Have to say though, your concerns are absolutely valid and for me they are also quite disturbing. Maybe my biggest problem is with the tires, but the list could go on with the livery, design mistakes, miscommunication regarding the differential lock and so on.
    My personal opinion is that for a pricy set like this LEGO should really add printed tires - new slick tire would also be really nice -, and basically if the 2022 car is impossible to be designed at this point, they should have just go for a classic car. Senna’s McLaren, the 2008 silver arrow, any Ferrari or Red Bull, the options are there with beautiful old cars. And they are unchanged for a time now, so LEGO could have concentrate on the accurate details much more. Or if they want to stick to the very modern F1, let’s simply announce a 2021 version, or wait and announce the 2022 later, when at least the livery is official. As Balazs mentioned, diecast models are also not available from the season start, but when they do, they can be at least accurate.

  • @GJ073
    @GJ073 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    At first I thought this would be a very nice set, and a must have. But I’ve been thinking about where I want to spent my money and it’s probably not on this set. As a huge Lego fan and F1 fan I rather spent it on a more accurate model of a car. So I will save this money for the next super car that will hopefully be announced soon. I really hope Lego comes with a more accurate model in the future, it can also be a accurate model from last season.
