The steering yoke can't be centered because the math doesn't workout in the gears. Its been that way with the last 3 f1 models. The grand prix racer I think is the last one that centers because it was a high nose f1 car and they had room for bigger gears. I really like that there was finally pull rod suspension in this model in the rear. Hope they do a Ferrari next year. Charles Leclerc is my favorite driver

that subtle roast to merc's zero pod concept lol

The funny thing is if this was a red bull vehicle the multi color pins would be essentially invisible. 😅

I have no interest generally in either Technic or Formula 1, but your review is so in depth and passionate that it doesn't matter.

Most excited/satisfied I have seen Jang in a while for a set! Great review. Thank you.

“A fine tuned racing remote control car” Ah the days of UltimateRC

I didn't believe it was Lego from the thumbnail. Cool set that's for sure.

[Zenlore]

Wow, that looks like a regular model at first glance! I’m impressed!

[WizardOfOss]

So much better than the real car....and a huge step up from the McLaren. Not flawless, but the one thing I dislike most is seeing stickers with my former employer on it, a company where I worked way longer than I should have...

[PlazDreamweaver]

I love Technic and love your reviews, so I'm glad you sought to review this beautiful piece of art and engineering.

[JPD]

I wasn’t too into this set when it was revealed (just not a technic fan) but after seeing some reviews, it looks amazing! I might end up buying it. Hopefully it goes on sale some day.

Nice review, JANG. The suspension, steering, and engine in this car are really well done.

[EMCUEAY]

Get in there Lewis Miracles do happen m8

1:18 huh? Power Steering is crucial in modern F1 cars... Of course they do have Power Steering and to turn the wheel in a modern F1 car can be done easily with one hand.

I want to put this on the carpet and push it along making vroom noises. Great review Jang!

[trojanspringer]

Great review, and nice to watch your enthousiasm about the suspension. However, this type is used by Lego in large scale F1 cars since 2000 (Silver Champion, 8456). Nothing much has changed since then..

[holgerdornseiff]

Thanks for your always very dialectical approach to all the lego products you are reviewing. 👍

I just finished building this, I am very very happy with this model and seeing the design of the suspension in both push and pull rod setups, it was a very cool build for me

[leedesigner]

Ive not had a large Technics model since one of the first Technics cars they did in the 80s (8860)... however, I feel with this model... it is now time 😍 Yep, gonna buy! Cheers Jang. Lee UK

I like the sound of that one just might wait for the price to soften. Great review Jang as ever.
