Building the LEGO® Technic McLaren F1 Car

F1 reporter Will Buxton is a LEGO® fanatic, from his formative days building DUPLO® (which inspired his hair cut!) to the complex Technic models of the modern era. For his latest project, we challenged him to build the first ever LEGO Technic F1 car, the McLaren MCL36 2022 F1 car - here’s how he got on.

The tire noises at 9:15 had me rolling. Will has definitely practiced that noise in his free time. Love it ❤️

It feels like that would be a good series if will builds Lego

"If you follow the instruction book... You will build a lego McLaren F1 car."
Will Buxton, probably

I had no idea Will was this charismatic! So charming!

TFW Will Buxton predicted the Ferrari pitstop strategy @ 0:50. Also, Lego has moved to giving you multiple bags so each type of component is only in one bag. You can pour each bag into their own bowl and that will work - they're size-stratified too so small parts are with small parts, and large parts are with large parts. Taking a set and sorting it by color is only doing extra work to make it harder.

"Now it's your turn". Already built it. It took me a modest 12 hours over 3 days but I did it 😁

Being 40 myself and 5 years old when it came out, just hearing a Johnny #5 reference makes my day.😀

Nice one Will Buxton....love your enthusiasm!!

What he's saying around the 7:15 mark is wrong - the Lego version is not the 2022 McLaren F1 car, it's the generic 2022 show car F1 produced in McLaren livery.

I remember thinking technic sets were incredibly difficult to build when I was younger. The bugatti ended up being my first technic set so I guess I wasn't wrong 😂

[joshtiel]

Just got this for Xmas and I loved building it and interacting with a piece of F1. 👍👍👍

Actually sorting by color is wild

I usually dump the bag and that’s it

[knightstalker]

He couldn't of said it better, Thats what I love about lego. They are all the same parts.

[carlseddon]

That's a good idea with the colours in different bowls for each bag. That looks great. Cosco are selling them for 80 quid

[FredMellink]

I don’t sort on color, but on shape! Mucheasier finding the parts

[Goldlogie]

Just in the middle of building it got one more packet to go to finish it off, absolutely loving it!!

[kanenstuff]

I also started my first build during lockdown I done the Sian and Chiron then I done the McLaren F1 and have the Daytona SP3, Back to the Future and Ghostbusters sets to build plus a buck of speed champion builds complete.

I'm glad will is like all of us building legos
"two of these, and one of these, and what ive made"

[ultimatedriversofmachinery]

I got one for Christmas I can’t wait to build it

[BrunodeSouzaLino]

This set probably costs more than the actual F1 car at the crazy prices Lego sets go for nowadays.
