The verdict

I love that this set exists for the reason it exists.

Audi stepping onto the F1 grid as a full works team in 2026, with Sauber becoming the Audi works squad, is a huge deal for motorsport, and having a pocket sized version of the R26 on my shelf feels like owning a piece of that first season. It is not a technical showpiece the way the bigger 1:8 scale Speed Champions builds are, this is a quick, satisfying afternoon build, not a weekend project. If you follow F1 or you are building out a Speed Champions grid, this earns its spot. If you want hours of building or a car you can really pose and fiddle with, it will feel over almost as soon as it starts.

Best for: F1 fans and Speed Champions collectors building out a full starting grid

The full review

What it is

This is one of the small scale Speed Champions entries, built around Audi's arrival on the Formula 1 grid as a full works constructor for the 2026 season, running as the Audi F1 Team with Revolut as title partner after years of Audi's involvement building toward this through the Sauber operation. Getting a LEGO version of that car on release is the kind of thing that makes this hobby fun, you are building a tiny piece of a season that is actually unfolding in real time.

The catch

I will be straight with you about scale and scope here. At 216 pieces this sits at the smaller end of the Speed Champions range, closer in spirit to the compact single car sets than to the big two car garage builds. That means the build itself is brisk, you will have it finished well within an hour, and the amount of surface detail, sponsor decals, and shaping is what you would expect from a pocket sized F1 car rather than a display centerpiece. It is a strong choice as a shelf piece or as part of a growing grid of team cars, less so if you are shopping for a meaty single build to sit down with for an evening.

Who it's for

Get this one if you are following Audi's F1 debut, collecting the wider Speed Champions F1 grid, or want a fast, approachable build to do with a young LEGO fan who loves cars. Skip it if you want a longer, more involved build, or if the appeal of a licensed F1 tie in car does not do much for you on its own.

The parts story

What the build is actually like, and the pieces worth knowing about.

The build moves quickly and cleanly, which is the point of these smaller Speed Champions cars, you are assembling the wedge shaped body, front wing, halo, and rear wing in stages rather than working through a long, layered chassis build. It is a good one to hand to a newer builder or to knock out during a short session without feeling like you left something unfinished.

The real draw is the livery. Getting Audi's factory colors and the Revolut branding translated into LEGO printed and stickered elements is what makes this feel current rather than generic, and the front wing and halo pieces do the work of selling the F1 silhouette at this scale. There is no minifigure or pit crew included, this is a car only set, so the value is entirely in the model itself rather than any figure or accessory count.
