The verdict

If you love Ferrari, this one is going to be very hard to walk past, and honestly I get it.

It's a proper 1:8 machine at two feet long, with working steering, moving pistons and a two-speed gearbox you can actually feel change. The rear tyres being the same skinny width as the fronts is a genuinely odd choice on a 230 dollar flagship, and it bugs a lot of builders. But sit it on a shelf in that Scuderia red and most of that fades away.

Best for: Ferrari and F1 diehards who want a big red display piece

The full review

What it is

There's a moment near the end of this build where you slot the bodywork panels over the frame and the whole thing suddenly reads as Ferrari, all that red curving into a nose and a cockpit, and it lands. This LEGO® set is a 1:8 scale tribute to the SF-24, the car Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz drove through a genuinely strong 2024 season, and at 1,361 pieces stretched to about two feet long it has real presence. It sits alongside the Red Bull RB20 as one of two F1 cars LEGO put out that year, and it carries the same working-model DNA as the earlier Mercedes and McLaren. You get functional steering, suspension that actually gives, pistons that pump as the wheels turn, and a DRS rear wing you can flip open. It's the kind of set that keeps your hands busy and rewards you at the finish.

The catch

Now for the part that gets brought up in nearly every review, and it's a fair one. The rear tyres are the same narrow width as the fronts. On a real F1 car the rears are fat, planted, unmistakable, and that silhouette is half of what makes these cars look fast standing still. Getting it wrong on a 230 dollar flagship marked 18-plus feels like a corner cut in the one place you'd least want it, and a lot of builders find it hard to unsee. The stickers are the other grumble. There are a lot of them, some are large, and you'll want a steady hand and patience to keep the air bubbles out. The proportions elsewhere are a touch off in spots too, which is just the reality of shaping a curvy race car out of Technic panels. None of these are dealbreakers on their own, but at this price they nag.

Who it's for

So who should grab it? If you're a Ferrari person, or F1 runs deep for you, this is an easy yes and you already know it. The build is satisfying, the gearbox is a real joy to operate, and it looks the part on a shelf from across the room where the tyre issue disappears. If you're coming purely as a Technic engineering fan chasing the most accurate or most mechanically clever model, you might feel the compromises more sharply, and the Red Bull sibling actually brings more new parts to the table. But for the fans this was built for, the ones who'll happily fly the red, it delivers where it counts. Buy it with your heart and you won't be disappointed.

The parts story

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

The build works front to back and stays interesting most of the way. You start with the chassis and the drivetrain, and this is where the good stuff lives. The two-speed gearbox goes in early, and once it's connected you can nudge a lever and feel the V6 pistons change their rhythm, which is a lovely bit of feedback for a display model. Steering and independent suspension come together around the core, then you move outward into the bodywork. That final third is mostly panels and stickers, cladding the frame in Ferrari red, and the pace slows as it becomes more about careful placement than clever mechanics. It's not a punishing build, and most people knock it out over a relaxed evening or two.

On the pieces, this is a set that leans on new molds more than rare colors. The engine cylinder finally got a proper update after decades of the old part, and there's a fresh five-module addition to the two-wide panel family, plus new wishbones and towballs that open up the steering geometry. Those are genuinely useful additions to a Technic bin. Where it disappoints the parts hunters is recolors: the Ferrari brings exactly one, a rotor blade in red, versus the Red Bull's dozen or so unique recolored elements. So you're buying this for the finished car and the mechanisms, not to raid the parts, and that's worth knowing before you commit at full price.

Fun facts

01The real SF-24 gave Charles Leclerc his first home win at Monaco in 2024, making him the first Monégasque driver to win his home Grand Prix as a World Championship event since Louis Chiron back in 1931.
02This is one of two 1:8 scale LEGO F1 cars from that wave, released alongside the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB20, and it shares its footprint with the earlier Mercedes and McLaren Technic F1 models.
03Pop the engine cover and you'll find a V6 with a spinning MGU-H, a nod to the hybrid energy recovery hardware that lives on the real car's turbo.
04In the metal, the SF-24 racked up five wins and 22 podiums across the 2024 season, including 1-2 Ferrari finishes in Australia and the United States.
