Features range from full radio-control systems (commonly 2.4 GHz with multi-direction steering and differential/suspension systems) to simple mechanical actions such as pull-back launchers and track rev-launchers with multiple play modes.

Most F1 toys are made from plastic, with ABS frequently used for RC models. One listing specifically noted 10% post-consumer recycled plastic content.

Common features in buildable brick kits include a driver figure, halo-bar and rear-wing elements, sponsor/sticker decoration, moving wheels for play, and designs intended for both play and shelf display.

Collectible mystery packs are often sold as six-car boxed sets (one such boxed set in the listings showed 174 pieces total), while some track playsets include three 1:64-scale die-cast F1 cars. Note that 'pieces' can refer to the total items in a boxed set, not just the number of cars.

Most brick-built sets include a printed builder's guide and also offer digital instructions through a builder app with step-by-step guidance and 3D viewing.
