The verdict

I put this next to the other 2025 Speed Champions cars and the green paired with that lime accent just pops on a shelf in a way none of the red or blue liveries do.

It is a small, quick build, but the nose cone and front wing assembly is genuinely fiddly in a good way, the kind of clever stacking Speed Champions does best. I would not tell a die hard F1 fan this is a must have over the bigger flagship cars in the line, but if you follow the KICK Sauber team or just want variety in your Speed Champions row, it earns its spot. Skip it if you already own two or three similar liveried cars this year and are feeling the fatigue.

Best for: Speed Champions collectors who want the full 2025 grid, not just the headline teams

The full review

What it is

I will admit the KICK Sauber livery was not on my radar before this set landed on my table, but the second I had the green bodywork clipped together I understood why LEGO added it to the 2025 lineup. It gives the Speed Champions shelf some real color variety instead of another red or silver car, and the proportions feel right, low, wide, aggressive in that F1 way even at this small scale.

The catch

Here is the honest part. At 259 pieces this is one of the smaller entries in the current Speed Champions wave, and it builds fast, which means the satisfaction curve is short. If you are used to the bigger dual-car sets in this theme with two vehicles and a pit setup, this single car feels light by comparison, and the price per piece runs a bit higher than I would like for something this size.

Who it's for

I would point this one at builders who already collect the F1 teams and want the full grid represented, or anyone who specifically follows KICK Sauber and wants that livery on the shelf. If you are new to Speed Champions and only want to buy one or two sets, I would start with a bigger dual-pack instead and come back to this one once the collecting bug has properly bitten you.

The parts story

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

The build itself moves in short, satisfying stages, chassis first, then the sidepods and engine cover, then that fiddly nose and front wing stack that is honestly the most engaging part of the whole model. It is over quickly, but the front end assembly rewards patience, LEGO uses a few overlapping small plates to get the wing's layered look right rather than relying on one big printed piece.

The standout element for me is the printed 1x2 tile carrying the KICK Sauber sponsor logos, since Speed Champions increasingly leans on printed parts instead of stickers for the sponsor decals, which is a small thing that makes a real difference in how clean the finished model looks. The lime green and dark green combination is a recolor mix that had not shown up together in this theme before, so if you like rare color pairings for parts hunting, this one is worth a look even outside the finished model.

Fun facts

01The KICK Sauber C44 was the real 2024 season car for the Sauber F1 team, which became Audi's factory team from 2026, making this LEGO set a snapshot of the team's last era under the Sauber name.
02This was part of the 2025 wave of single-car Speed Champions sets, a smaller format LEGO introduced to let more F1 teams get a model without needing a full dual-car box.
03The set includes one printed driver minifigure wearing a helmet decorated with the team's racing colors, a detail Speed Champions only started including consistently in its more recent F1 waves.
04Green liveried race cars are relatively rare in LEGO's history compared to the more common red, silver, and blue F1 colorways, making this one of the more distinctive color entries in the Speed Champions catalog.
