The verdict

I picked this one up expecting a cute toy car and ended up admiring the nose cone for a solid minute, the way it tapers down to that thin front wing just nails the real SF-24 silhouette.

For 275 pieces you get a shape that reads as unmistakably Ferrari and unmistakably F1, not a generic red wedge. It will not challenge your building skills, this is an afternoon build you finish in one sitting, but that is exactly the point of Speed Champions. Grab it if you love Ferrari or F1, skip it if you need hours of build time to feel like you got your money's worth.

Best for: Ferrari and F1 fans who want a fast, satisfying weeknight build and a sharp looking shelf piece

The full review

What it is

This is LEGO's take on Ferrari's 2024 season car, shrunk down to Speed Champions scale, and the first thing I noticed pulling it out of the box was how confident the proportions are. The nose sweeps down low, the halo sits right over where the cockpit should be, and the rear diffuser has that stepped, aggressive look real F1 cars have right now. It does not feel like a toy trying to look like a race car, it feels like someone actually studied the SF-24 before drawing this up.

The catch

I will be honest about the size of the build though, 275 pieces is on the lighter side even for this line, and if you have built a few Speed Champions cars already you will recognize some of the same construction tricks used to fake curves out of straight LEGO elements. It is not a slow burn kind of set. The sponsor decals are stickers rather than printed pieces, and lining them up straight on a small curved body takes more patience than the actual building does. None of that ruins the set, it just means you should walk in knowing what kind of build this is.

Who it's for

Buy this one if you are chasing the Ferrari name, building out a Speed Champions F1 grid, or want a fun, quick project to do with a kid who is a Formula 1 fan. Skip it if you want a long, absorbing build session, this is a car you finish before your coffee gets cold, and that is a feature for some builders and a letdown for others.

What works

Silhouette is genuinely recognizable as the SF-24, the low nose and wing shaping look right, not just red bricks in a car shape
Sits comfortably alongside the rest of the Speed Champions F1 grid, so a small collection builds into a display fast
Quick, satisfying build that does not overstay its welcome, good for a first solo build or a relaxed evening

Worth knowing

275 pieces goes by quickly, this is not a set that will occupy an experienced builder for long
Like most Speed Champions cars it is display scale, not a rolling toy you hand to a toddler for rough play
Sticker sheet for the sponsor logos rather than printed parts throughout, which some collectors find less satisfying than tampo printing

The parts story

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

The build moves fast and in a logical order, chassis first, then the sidepods and engine cover stack up around it, and the front and rear wings snap on right at the end so you get the big reveal last. There is a nice moment where the two halves of the bodywork close around the chassis and the whole shape suddenly clicks into a recognizable F1 car instead of a pile of red panels.

The standout piece for me is the one piece front wing element, it is molded specifically to get that thin, layered F1 wing profile that would be impossible to fake with basic bricks, and it is doing a lot of the work in selling the silhouette. The wheels use the low profile F1 tire pieces shared across the Speed Champions racing sets, which by now LEGO has refined into a good, sturdy roll. At 275 pieces for a set in this price bracket the value sits in the shaping and the license, not in sheer piece count, so judge it as a display model rather than a build-for-hours project.

Fun facts

01The SF-24 was Ferrari's actual 2024 Formula 1 season car, driven by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, and this set arrived as LEGO expanded Speed Champions into a full grid of current F1 team cars.
02Ferrari's relationship with LEGO licensing goes back over two decades, starting with the old LEGO Racers theme in the early 2000s, long before Speed Champions existed as its own line.
03Speed Champions cars are built to a consistent scale across the theme, which is why fans collect them side by side, this Ferrari is designed to look right parked next to the other current team cars in the lineup rather than as a standalone model.
