Well these got released early! Was supposed to be a March 1st release I thought

 

I have a Walmart right across the street from work. I might to take a lunch break today and go look.

 

The aero rakes on the cars definitely stand out.

Last year photo, for example:

 

FIA approves new rule for Monaco GP forcing drivers to make two tyre changes
https://www.racefans.net/2025/02/26...-gp-forcing-drivers-to-make-two-tyre-changes/

 

Remains to be seen whether this rule relieves some of the boredom. I have my doubts - but yes I plan to watch (and hope for rain)

 

Cars have gotten just too big for Monaco. Make the streets wider, or the cars narrower (and possibly shorter). We know one of those isn't an option.

 

The cars have evolved away from Monaco and Id be happy to see the GP disappear.

 

They should just make Monaco like the All-Star games and let them use smaller cars for that track or something like that.

 

Go karts

 

Or formula vee cares.

 

Hit the local Costco for essentials today and ran into these….$21.

They had all of the usual suspects…. Merc, McLaren, RB, and Ferrari

 

They've got all 10 teams as a matter of fact, well maybe not Costco but Walmart and Target will if you don't have a Lego store near you. They'll be full price however

Coincidentally I have to do a Costco run this weekend, how convenient

 

Got the McLaren done, working on the Aston and soon the Ferrari. The Williams, I'll do later.

 

Nice! Love the Iconic Williams FW14. That B spec car was so advanced it caused them to rewrite the rules in F1. Most of those changes are still in place today. Just in case you don't know about that car. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williams_FW14

 

Seems as though there is a new F1TV Premium plan for $129. You get 4k UHD and can build a custom multifeed view.

The Pro plan is $85 but you now lose the ability to stream to multiple screens at one time... #shrinkflation

Currently looking for some coupon codes.
