Life-sized LEGO F1 McLaren car driven by Lando Norris makes pit stop in Windsor 

McLaren Racing is making a high-speed pit stop at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort from today (Tuesday) with a life-sized LEGO replica of the F1 car driven by Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

Following the excitement of the weekend’s British Grand Prix, fans will have a chance to get up close and personal with the iconic MCL39 F1 McLaren for one week only.

Built from nearly 400,000 bricks, this nearly 1:1 scale model of McLaren’s MCL39 Formula 1 car weighs a staggering 2,420kg.

The engineering feat took approximately 1,800 hours to complete by a team of six highly skilled model makers.

Capable of reaching speeds of up to 20kph, every intricate detail of the McLaren car is captured with accuracy, and will be available to view from Tuesday, July 8 to Tuesday, July 15.

Vice President at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort, Ramesh Ganeson, said: “We're thrilled to bring the adrenaline of F1 racing to LEGOLAND Windsor with the iconic LEGO F1 McLaren.

“This amazing life-size replica offers a unique opportunity for families and fans to experience the excitement of F1 up close.

“We can't wait to ignite and inspire visitors of all ages, creating unforgettable memories and sparking a passion for both LEGO building and racing.”

The ‘Papaya Army’ and F1 fans alike will be able to grab a selfie with the LEGO MCL39 replica located outside the LEGO store.

Guests can shop the LEGO F1 collection and continue their F1 fandom at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort at the Ferrari Build and Race Experience.

Young racers can make their way from the garage to the racetrack to build, test, and digitally scan their own LEGO Ferrari onto the interactive racetrack in three zones: Build and Race, Ferrari LEGO model, and a DUPLO® build zone.
