Formula 1 fans should be ready to add another LEGO Icons set to their shelves as details of a Michael Schumacher Ferrari F2004 set have leaked ahead of its release.
The LEGO Icons F1 sets include an F1 car, which is roughly 30 centimetres in length, along with the corresponding driver. Others in the collection include Nigel Mansell and the Williams Racing FW14B, and Ayrton Senna and the McLaren MP4/4.
The Williams and McLaren sets are priced at £69.99, so it is likely that the Schumacher and F2004 set will be at the same price point.
The F2004 was one of Schumacher's most dominant cars, winning 15 out of the 18 races of the 2004 season. It won Ferrari's sixth consecutive constructors' championship and Schumacher's seventh drivers' championship title.
F1 announced its partnership with LEGO in September 2024, which is set to bring sets for pre-school children up to adults.
“The LEGO brick has ignited a spark of creativity and passion for building in millions of children and adults around the globe," Emily Prazer, chief commercial officer of Formula 1, said.
“Through this partnership, fans will be able to recreate and reimagine the world of Formula 1, brick by brick, delving deeper into the intricacies of the mechanics and technology behind the sport through play.
“We look forward to bringing the drama and excitement of Formula 1 to the LEGO Group’s passionate network of builders and giving our fans another means to enjoy the sport with their friends and family.”
Julia Goldin, chief product & marketing officer of The LEGO Group, added: “At the LEGO Group, we have a proud history of having recreated many F1 cars in LEGO brick form in the past, and we believe this new partnership, through LEGO play and building, will help bring the spectacle of this sport even closer to all fans.
“It will enable them to celebrate their passion of the sport in more immersive and exciting ways and will see the power of LEGO creativity and imagination further enhance the thrill of F1.
“We look forward to unveiling all that this exciting partnership has to offer to both lifelong and new Formula 1 and LEGO brand fans alike, at home and on track.”
