Red Bull Racing is not just ruling the Formula 1 grid but now racing into the toy world, teaming up with LEGO to create a stunning LEGO Technic replica of the RB20, set to hit shelves in March 2025.
This partnership between Red Bull Racing and the iconic $7.9 billion toy-making giant LEGO promises to bring the magic of Formula 1 to fans and aspiring engineers alike. Here’s what makes it so special.
A Masterpiece in the Making
The LEGO Technic model of the RB20, piloted to glory by Max Verstappen, will be no ordinary toy. Built with precision engineering in mind, the replica will feature:
- A 2-speed gearbox,
- A V6 engine with moving pistons,
- A spinning MGU-H unit,
- And a whopping 25-inch length for authenticity.
The set has been designed for fans who crave the challenge of building a model that’s as technical as it is entertaining. With intricate details mirroring the championship-winning car, this LEGO set isn’t just for kids—it’s for Formula 1 fanatics of all ages.
Red Bull’s Vision for the LEGO Partnership
Christian Horner, Red Bull Racing’s team principal, shared his excitement about the collaboration:
“We are always looking for the perfect build here at Red Bull Racing, so it made sense to shape a new relationship with the LEGO Group. We have been listening to our fans, and they have been crying out for this partnership, so we are delighted to see the pieces finally fall into place for 2025.”
Red Bull Racing’s collaboration with LEGO is a testament to the team’s commitment to connecting with fans beyond the racetrack. It offers a chance for enthusiasts to recreate their favorite race car while celebrating the innovation that fuels Red Bull’s success.
On the Track: Red Bull Weighs in on Norris’ Qatar GP Penalty
Meanwhile, as Red Bull prepares to take the toy market by storm, Christian Horner also addressed the contentious 10-second stop-and-go penalty handed to Lando Norris at the Qatar Grand Prix. GPS data revealed that Norris failed to slow down under double yellow flags, despite DRS still being active.
Horner didn’t hold back in defending the FIA’s decision:
“When you look at the speed profile comparison of Lando versus Max, you can see DRS wide open. He was still absolutely flat out, and there was a double-waved yellow there.”
Norris’ mistake cost McLaren valuable points in their fight against Ferrari for the Constructors’ Championship. Red Bull, now spectating the battle from the top, is set to see how the intense rivalry plays out in Abu Dhabi.
Final Lap: A Perfect Build for 2025
While the RB20 LEGO replica offers fans a chance to get hands-on with Formula 1’s cutting-edge technology, Red Bull is proving that their dominance extends beyond the racetrack. As Ferrari and McLaren battle for second in the standings, Red Bull and LEGO are gearing up for an entirely different championship: capturing the hearts of fans worldwide.
Come March 2025, it’s lights out and away we go for LEGO builders everywhere!
