When you reveal the engine, you can also see the colours of the Brazilian flag! Cool! 🇧🇷

0:12 1988!

I actually quite like the stand. It gives this racecar an "action shot" option.

0:11 It was in 1988 season... ! In 1998 was Ayrton Senna unfortunatelly no longer with us. 😞

Lego made a Senna minifigure. This is just legendary as an F1 fan and lego collector. The car looks very good but i’m concerned about lego’s white printing on red pieces.

Apart from the fact that I'm bored to see more and more cars Lego should definitely improve the printing quality especially the white color on red parts looks terrible. Nevertheless I would like to see no stickers at all on an Icons set.

Cool looking piece, I hope LEGO makes a Schumacher F2004 set one day

As a long time fan of F1, I remember watching Senna racing this very car, so an absolute purchase for me! I hope they make this a series of F1 legends, I'd buy them all!

1) That's not Senna's helmet, where is the dark blue line ? 2) Lego can't print triangles anymore it seems 3) Only the best is good enough -> So we give them 4 of the same tires

I am ecstatic that LEGO is committing to Formula 1 and made a Senna McLaren. This is my favorite car and driver. However, I am unfortunately very underwhelmed by this model as a whole. The shaping on the nose ruins the silhouette far, far too much for me. The shaping of the sidepods is also way too rectangular in the rear. The introduction of slick tyres is great, but it's also incredibly disappointing that they didn't make the wider wheels for the back. I also am very confused by the shaping of the roll hoop. While the steering function is cool, I would have much preferred that LEGO choose looks over the play feature. Icons is supposed to be for display, yet they threw out one of the most iconic shapes on the car for a play feature. With all that being said, I hope this set does well, so that we can get a Michael Schumacher Ferrari, Jim Clark Lotus, etc. :)

You were the only one that mentioned the suspension (haven't watched Racing Brick yet, though). as a brazilian myself, I intend to review this set as well, as soon as I can get it. Senna remains a big inspiration in Brazil, and I think more people will like to see this in detail and in Portuguese.

If they had to make all wheels the same width, they should have made all of them wider, instead of giving us 4 narrow front ones

1988 Season, not 1998. :-)

I think you're the best lego reviewer on UKposts, now knowing that you were a Senna fan I admire you even more, greetings from Brazilian lands.

Awesome set for Senna fans! Obrigado for reviewing it! 🟩🟨🟦

I get that this is a special Senna set, but it would've been really nice if it came with a Prost minifig and helmet too, and the option to use the number 11 instead of 12 on the car.

Cool review. Love this set. Thought the car would be way smaller because of the minifig included. That engine inside is great.

Not concerned at the split spoiler but rather at the inaccurate tyres Quite like the V6 engine being visible and of course the figure of Ayrton Senna, an icon of motorsport fittingly available in a LEGO ICON set.

As a Brazilian and a F1 fan, I am very happy with what Lego did there! Rest in peace legendary champion, and long live to the velocity!

Obrigado eu Tiago! As mentioned on IG, really counting down here, can't wait to mod this set!

Alwasy appreciate you pointing out ways sets could be cheaper. People mostly talk about "good to have" not the consonances of having extra stuff you dont need.

Recently built this set and I love it! Can’t stop looking at it. The price as well is great value

Sadly those stickers are horrible. If you have to make stickers instead of prints at least go for the same white. This could've been made so much better.

As a brasillian, this is a must buy, especially for that Ayrton minifig, such a cool thing

Love this set; looking forward to adding it to my Lego vehicle collection in the F1 section!

A really cool set!!! I’m just a fan of vehicles in general, so I might have to pick it up! 😃 The white print on the red wedges…. man I wish they made the ink thicker. The color is still just a bit too far off. I’d even pay an extra $5 for it to match the white bricks! This is a problem on minifigures recently too. ❤

Very nice review, Tiago! However, I was expecting a comparison with the original MP4/4. The nose is completely different from the original. There is a huge white space that does not exist, and I don't think that's a size restriction. I've already seen some MOCs on the internet with a more consistent representation. The minifigure is not that accurate; it should have red gloves, and the helmet should also have a black stripe under the green stripe. As a Brazilian, this is a MUST-HAVE set, lol, but I was expecting more.

Awesome mclaren car nice tribute great review 👍

0:18 Ayrton was an icon. That choice makes sense.

As a Brazilian and growing up with Senna this is a must buy. Yes it could be a better model but I’m just glad Lego did it.

Keep up the reviews!

The MP4/4 was the most successfull car in history till... 2023 : The 2023 redbull RB 19 won 21 on 22 races, "better" in therm of percentage than the 15 on 16 of the McLaren ;-) Hopping a Formula 1 car serie in icons theme ! Ferrari F1 2004, Mercedes FW13, Redbull RB19, etc...

Obrigada ! Eu estava na dúvida se comprava ou não esse Lego! Você fez um vídeo maravilhoso !!! Vou comprar ❤

Was glad to see you review this set, as a Brazilian yourself. This set isn't just important to fans of F1 or motorsport, or car people into McLarens. To my knowledge, Senna remains an icon of Brazilian culture and success, so this set is important for an entire nation.

I'm so jealous!!! I preordered the set and am waiting for it... PLEASE LEGO!!!! SEND IT ALREADY

Regarding the McLaren branding on the rear wing instead of Marlboro - both versions were in use for a while, depending on whether local laws prohibited tobacco advertising or not, so it varied from race to race. They were lucky that McLaren didn't look so different and they deliberately used the same/similar font, so many people didn't even notice that it didn't always say Marlboro.

WOW amazing that this car that senna drove was good in the 1998 season! Dont know how he was driving it though as he was dead 4 years at that point

“Senna Sempre” ❤️🤍

3:00 the main sponsor at the time was Marlboro, if I'm not mistaken, not Shell. That's why the car is red/white.

As a huge F1 and LEGO fan, I am so excited for March!!

Now this is HARD !!!!👊🏽💥👏🏽

Awesome set I wonder what Lego will do with the Honda license I like that there's a stand and a minifigure, more Icons car sets should be like this Should be a bit cheaper

This is honestly a lot better than I thought. I expected it to be display-oriented only. I didn't expect the steering, nor the quasi-suspension, nor a fully detachable back, nor it BEING ON-SCALE TO THE OTHER ICON CAR SETS!!!! I wasn't going to buy it, but now I am. At $100 AUD, it is considerably cheaper than the next car in the series - the $250 Corvette. Half the pieces, but much less than half the price, and a minifigure. Thank you Lego!

The nose should be smoother curved, maybe I'll fix that myself somehow! I think I'll buy it, because I am a Senna fan!

That white on red printing quality is just unacceptable, it's pink, not even close to white. LEGO quality over the recent years has been atrocious, to say the least. Such a shame.

This is a straight to pre-order for me.

Can't take my eyes off the off white printing on the red nose cone piece. LEGO needs to do better when printing white on darker pieces.

Beautiful lego kit if I buy it, I'll try to make an assembly video!

NICEEE!!! LOOKS SOO COOOLL!

Ótimo vídeo como sempre! Este com certeza é um set muito especial para nós brasileiros

This will be the one I get after getting the 2 smaller ones first the Merc can definitely wait like the McLaren

Love the set with Ayrton Senna minifigure as a tribute to such a great driver and to see back Shell logo back in a Lego set after the forced breakup of brand deals

1988 season*

Obrigado! Fantastic review Tiago, from a fellow Portuguese and Brazilian national 🎉

1988, not 1998 season 😊 Winning all but one race and claiming all but one pole position

It's actually from the year 1988.

it is a shame that the printing on the red body panels are so poor quality. white looks like pink

Beautiful set lego!

As a McLaren fan this is going into my collection!

Senna was my favourite driver, but the white sticker or white print over the red at the front behind the Honda logo looks really bad and it's enough to make me not buy it.

2:35 the name plate was Marlboro, and was split half way on the race car..

We need the MOC designers to step up and fix the design 😂

If you're looking for more car sets, don't sleep on the Speed Champion series. They have a lot of interesting building techniques, and the final products look really good. There's also a few other F1 cars available in the series.

The stand is a very usual way of displaying both real and scale F1 cars. They probably included it due to that

Just differs a little from my first large LEGO, model 392... 🙂

eu como brasileiro tenho que dizer que este set ficou muito bom! faltou citar que na montagem em baixo do motor é possível ver uma bandeira do Brasil.

Loved the hidden Brazilian colors...

Nice review!

You are a great Lego reviewer. I’m now considering this one 😂

Should’ve been Marlboro on the wing tho. Maybe with a disclaimer in the instructions

Great video, i'm also a F1 fan!😁

I love the video but the car dominated in the 1988 season not 1998 as senna had passed away in 1994, during his first season at Williams.

Obrigado, Tiago

Thanks for the great walk-through, Tiago. For me, it'd only 80% there. The rear wheels and tyres are far too narrow and the nose shaping and the not-white printing on the red parts is poor, given then price

I hate the quality of the print on the big red piece in the front :( otherwise it'd be an instant buy from me

Obrigado Tiago! Senna 🇧🇷

I think you build the side mirrors incorrectly 😉 I would probably have done it similar Thank you for your great videos 🎉😊

Could you review the star wars helmets?

Is there a typo on the plate, or is "chasis" another way to spell chassis I don't know about?

I just like race cars I gonna definitely pick it up

The missing blue stripe in the helmet is really weird. Maybe a technical limitation?

I want to like this, but the front end doesn't look anything like the MP4/4.

I’m not an F1 fan but I think this set has won me over. I think the build looks fun and the pricing is cheaper then most Icons set.

Rest in power legend

Jordan 191

You: Obrigado, I: De nada 🇧🇷

Obrigado!

Still hoping Lego starts doing more JDM kits, They've a good base for the Nissan r34! Need more toyotas and Hondas now!!

How do we get bigger rear wheels and tyres ?

NICEEEE

I think the stand is awesome

"Racing, competing is in my blood. It´s part of me, it´s part of my life. I´ve been doing it all my life. And it stands up before anything else." - Ayrton Senna

I will really consider to get a Marlboro sticker

This is epic

3:42 : you forgot to mention the colors of Brasil 😉

the tires and the weak white on red prints are ruining the hole set. But nice video

Great review! The printed slope on the nose ruins the set for me. I wonder why they chose to print white on a red slip instead of printing red on a white slope.

It's cool but rear tires are not wide enough

You ment the 1988 season
