Very realistic

Really fun to build. Very realistic. The steering actually works, and the pistons go up and down when you spin the wheels. My only complaint is the price.

As an F1 fan, and a Lewis Hamilton fan, and a black-Mercedes fan - this set was a must! It predates the official Lego partnership with F1 but it still compares favourably with the Red Bull and Ferrari cars that came out of that partnership. It also compares very favorably against the McLaren Technic F1 car, in that this model is based off of the actual W14E, it has a removable engine cover, and it utilizes the stronger red springs (my McLaren's floor is resting directly on the shelf at this point). Only comment I'll make is that it was difficult to line up some of the built parts during the build, due to there being multiple pins that needed to be engaged simultaneously. Also the connection point for some of these built parts is not always easy to discern from the printed instructions. The digital instructions might make this easier - BUT - I welcomed the challenge and I'm sure you can figure it all out if you just pay close attention and try to make sense of what you're doing. Overall very happy with this set. The McLaren is now at the office and the Merc is on display at home.
Great product

A remarkable set, definitely Technic skill level, and worth taking the time to assemble piece by piece, sticker by sticker. Clear instructions, loaded with details from front to back. Looks oustanding on display!

The build itself is fun and challenging. The real treat is learning more about the structure of F1 cars.
Outstanding attention to detail

Fantastic build and as always very clever and the attention to detail is brilliant and the stickers helped the look but took time to apply them.

This was my first Lego build since I was a kid. I used the Builder App (basically Solid Works lite) and the whole experience went very well. Good instructions, no missing pieces, and an amazing piece when I was done.

I enjoyed the build overall, especially moving parts like the rear differential, 6 cylinder engine, suspensions, etc... I wasn't too keen on two pages of stickers that I was constantly putting on the lego pieces, but it does look nice overall. The build time takes around 6 hours non-stop uninterrupted, but definitely plan for 7+ hours as you'll be taking stretch breaks and being mesmerized by some of the moving parts.
Great item for a F1 fan

This was my very first Lego build and I had a great time. Love the attention to detail and functionality of the set. The fact that it has an actual pushrod front and pullrod rear suspension sold it for me. Will be getting the SF 24 when it releases as well.
It was awesome

The build experience was great and would highly recommend everyone getting it. I would like to buy more technic sets because of how wonderful the set is and the build experience was fun.

This is my second Technic set, first one was the Porsche 911 RSR. Compared to the Porsche 911, this Mercedes AMG F1 was a lot more fun to build because of its clear building instruction, bag by bag in order. I would definitely recommend any F1 fan to add this in the collection.

We were excited to build it and see it completed. However, there are 3 missing pieces, which is rare for a LEGO set based on my previous experiences. Now we can’t even finish it due to the missing pieces. It’s super disappointing.

Oh no! It's disappointing when your build isn’t going as planned. Make sure there isn't a bag still stuck in the box. If not, we're happy to help. Please give us a call or chat at LEGO.build/Service-BV so we can get the parts you need requested!

I thought the build was challenging and fun. I have the McLaren F1 car and the builds were both similar but very different. I enjoyed that aspect since the cars should be different. I can’t wait to see how the Ferrari F1 car coming out in 2025 will be different.
Pretty cool

First up, I’m a great 1 fan. When this set was released I knew I had to buy it. A great kit to build, and to display in the office. I would highly recommend the Mercedes F1 car. The only downside is the tyres, the kit has a great full livery except that of the tyres. You can source aftermarket tyres. Love it!
Wow
