Choose the Williams and Haas pair for a four-year-old, McLaren car for a six-year-old, and the F1 truck for an eight-plus fan who wants a bigger build.
Looking for F1 gifts for kids this Christmas? Match the LEGO F1 set to their age: LEGO's own guidance runs from 4+ for a quick two-car build to 8+ for a 1,086-piece team truck. All three are LEGO City F1 sets, designed to be combined, so later birthdays can add to the grid.
Age 4+: two cars, so they can race someone
Ideal for a pre-schooler who wants to play straight away. LEGO City F1 Williams Racing & Haas F1 Race Cars 60464 is a 92-piece set with two race cars and a driver minifigure for each team, so a sibling or parent can take the other car on Christmas morning.
It also includes a LEGO Starter Brick to get first-time builders going, plus a picture guide.
Age 6+: a McLaren for a first proper build
Ideal for a six-year-old McLaren fan or a stocking filler. LEGO City F1 Driver with McLaren Race Car 60442 has 86 pieces, slick tyres, a cockpit and a McLaren driver minifigure, and at over 14cm long it is made for racing round the kitchen floor.
Age 8+: the whole team truck
Ideal for an older F1 fan who loves the paddock as much as the race. LEGO City F1 Truck with RB20 & AMR24 F1 Cars 60445 has 1,086 pieces and builds a transporter over 44cm long with a detachable low-loader trailer, a cab that tilts to show the engine and a fold-down simulator room inside.
Ramps and fully opening side panels let them load the RB20 and AMR24 cars, and two drivers, three crew minifigures and a winner's trophy are included.
