Josh looks like he is going through the "I am ashamed of my dad and his dad jokes" faze. Of course he IS going through I am too big for Lego's faze. Wait till he is in his 30's. He will get back into it.
you guys should review the CaDa Alfa Romeo it would fit really nice with the lot and has quite alot of cool features, though its not from lego, but maybe this could be interesting aswell
For context, the McLaren launched alongside the 2022 cars for the new regulation of F1 cars so Lego had to do a lot of guesswork in making the McLaren set. They didn’t have a real car to base the design off so had to base it on mock ups and show cars. The W14 Mercedes is a real car and with the same regulations as 2022 going into 2023 (aside from minor changes). So livery aside, they had a lot more to work with to get higher accuracy and detail.
Also for further context, this design follows the zero sidepod concept which Mercedes ditched in May (F1 season runs from March-November). So they deffo had this set designed around the 2022/early which is why it has way more detail. A shame that car was so slow and didn’t win a single race. W11 would be my dream set.
The next one might be an Aston as arn’t they doing a speed champion set later in the year of the safety car and f1, like they did with the merc and one
Great to see side-by-side comparison of all the F1 cars - thanks! Agreed with you on the Red Bull - also not my favourite team. Great to see Josh back as well!
Not a red bull fan as well, but yeah I'm still Dutch. I like the design of red bull tho, and I have the McLaren already so I'm curious about the generational leap when I buy the next f1 technics set. Great video guys, I didn't think much of the Williams car but now I know that it's pretty cool! Especially with the v10!
Thanks for great compare! AWESOME! Next sweety for me - 2024 acidic-greeeen KICK SAUBER💚 And LEGO should add turbo, ers and exhaust detailing next🙌 Think 42000 without stickers - could gorgeously stay with all collection🌚
Great cars. Good choice to exclude 42000. Although more Technic, it's smaller and more like a 1:9 scale. As a 🇾🇪 I like to see RB next, but the license is elsewhere now.
Awesome set I'm pretty sure the McLaren came out in 2022, still the Mercedes is a big upgrade 8:20 Lego didn't have the licensing for the wheel decals, the first sets out of the factory have them, the next batches have just a design I'm curious which Land Rover set Josh prefers, I'm guessing the technic one
Alex, this video is far more interesting than an F1 “race” 😉. Lego would do themselves well to start making NASCAR kits especially considering that this years Daytona 500 winner, William Byron, is an AFOL.
I have the Ferrari F1 and it started a very expensive obsession .I am thinking about the Mercedes. I didn't get the McLaren as i had an issue with their driver lineup.
When you build the McLaren it has very good suspension, but after a few months it loses it if it doesn't have anything under it keeping it up, guess it's just too heavy for it, so it will probs be the same for the Merc
Great car, great review and even greater to see Josh back. Boy, he grew a lot! One question left: WHEN are we going to get a Lego Red Bull?? Dutch guy here 😉
Great review and I appreciate the comparisons! I don't own any of these cars yet, and I wanted to love the McLaren set, but there was too much I didn't like about it. But the Mercedes looks great and I'll get it in the next double vip points or high threshhold GWP promotion. And if this is the 2023 Mercedes, it should have pushrod suspension in front and pullrod in back, right? I don't have a particular favorite team, although I'd like to see Lando Norris (2025 Mercedes driver?) win a race (but I'd settle for anyone who can at least make it difficult for Max). But the next car I'd like to see is the Aston Martin just because I like green race cars. I thought I saw where there would be an Aston Martin Speed Champions set later this year, so who knows?
From what I have seen, the Aston Martin is going to be a Speed Champions double pack featuring the F1 car and the safety car. Super excited to see that one.
I think we should allow Josh to do all 18+ Lego sets especially the Technic 1's... It's more to his somewhat Adult likes now... Alex ranting about stickers again, that's no surprise to me...😊😊😊 Great job both of you as always a pleasure to watch the video clips...
why the hate on the 42000? It has a functioning DRS which you complained about not having on the McLaren and the Mercedes, it is correctly scaled to the other 1:8 scale f1 models, unlike the Ferrari, it has an engine cover like the older models, AND its modeled after Lewis Hamilton's championship McLaren... What is there not to like?
"The F1 cars don't need a transmission because there's no space for it" says it as the camera is panning over the giant air gap between the diff and the V6 in the Mercedes. Like I get it, these are never gonna house a sequential 8-speed transmission like the supercars, but they coulda easily fit a small 2-speed one in there. Y'know, to give you an idea of what's going on in the real thing. To show you they care. What do you get? Nothing. Also surprised you didn't mention the Silver Champion's and the Williams' printed tires. Also you say the black livery looks good on the Mercedes. That might be true for the real thing, but the Lego model looks awful with all the red and blue and yellow polka dots poking through every hole in the paneling. For comparison, look at the Silver Champion. What do you see? Black. Gray. And a whole lot of silver. _That's it._ You might pick up on which of these models is my favorite. But then again, my opinion might be skewed, because it's the only one of these I own.
Good video... BUT the new Mercedes is definitely not good. The rear tires have to be wider than the front ones. And if Lego creates new tires (slicks), why are there no prints on the side?! Until now I only bought Lego and no other brands but the Alfa Romeo from Cada seems to be way better than these Lego Cars!
Guys, the "Silver Champion" wasn't officially branded, but that was Mika Hakkinen's McLaren that won the 1999 championship. I'll never be a Ferrari fan, but out of those five that's one I'd most like to get (I have the Silver Champ :- ) The way the engine cover comes off and you can take the nose off like in a pit stop was such an improvement over the previous two. The McLaren just doesn't look right and the Merc... maybe on discount. And yes, Red Bull next. Not because I'm a Max and Newey fan, but the colours would look so much better than that black Merc.
Why do Lego keep making the rear wheels the same size as the front on there F1 cars, it just spoils the appearance of the car for me and puts me off of buying one.
Buy the Cada Alfa and use their bigger rear wheels/tyres, that’s what I’m doing. Also have reduced the ‘hump’ in the front, altered the wing mirrors, changed out all the coloured pins etc. Still not perfect but will keep on it!
Great collection! Good to run through. I’ve heard the McLaren suspension sags quickly. The Merc looks awesome! May have to get that to go with the McLaren.
The McLaren and Mercedes can be purchased on the LEGO website and most major retailers. The other three can be purchased from private sellers. I recommend buying them on Bricklink.
Best channel, no annoying edits, music, BS, straight comparison
Awesome reviews guys, glad to see Josh is getting back into it. Great kid, cannot get over how much he has grown into a young man.
Josh looks like he is going through the "I am ashamed of my dad and his dad jokes" faze. Of course he IS going through I am too big for Lego's faze. Wait till he is in his 30's. He will get back into it.
Ur never to big for legos
you guys should review the CaDa Alfa Romeo it would fit really nice with the lot and has quite alot of cool features, though its not from lego, but maybe this could be interesting aswell

You should get alfa romeo f1 from cada its a great set too
the Red Bull one is also very good
Is the gray, red and blue and white really official lego sets i dont think i have seen them before
The next one might be an Aston as arn’t they doing a speed champion set later in the year of the safety car and f1, like they did with the merc and one
A Red Bull car with wider slick tires at the back, than at the front, + more print parts, would have been nice! 👍
My gosh, Josh has grown up so much! Great review!!
I know, it is so crazy!
Wow it’s like he grew up overnight. How old is he now?
Where do I get the Williams and Ferrari set????
I have just finished the Mercedes kit. Love everything except the aero rin covers - those rims are gorgeous without the covers
Lego should work on 1:8 scale F1 Technic car with other F1 cars which have V10 and V12
Great to see side-by-side comparison of all the F1 cars - thanks! Agreed with you on the Red Bull - also not my favourite team. Great to see Josh back as well!
Not a red bull fan as well, but yeah I'm still Dutch. I like the design of red bull tho, and I have the McLaren already so I'm curious about the generational leap when I buy the next f1 technics set.
Great video guys, I didn't think much of the Williams car but now I know that it's pretty cool! Especially with the v10!
I am glad to see you finally recasted your Josh character its too bad the last actor didn't want to do it anymore.
Thanks for great compare! AWESOME!
Next sweety for me - 2024 acidic-greeeen KICK SAUBER💚
And LEGO should add turbo, ers and exhaust detailing next🙌
Think 42000 without stickers - could gorgeously stay with all collection🌚
Can u put the codes for all of them
"You can tell we're not redbull fans." Video stopped....
Comments, subbed, continue
Great cars. Good choice to exclude 42000. Although more Technic, it's smaller and more like a 1:9 scale. As a 🇾🇪 I like to see RB next, but the license is elsewhere now.
Fw14D Williams. 90s. Best F1 car ever.
Next one's probably gonna be Aston Martin in the green livery.
Awesome set
I'm pretty sure the McLaren came out in 2022, still the Mercedes is a big upgrade
8:20 Lego didn't have the licensing for the wheel decals, the first sets out of the factory have them, the next batches have just a design
I'm curious which Land Rover set Josh prefers, I'm guessing the technic one
Glad the stickers are on them
I was able to get my Mercedes F1 set for $190! Cant wait to build it
I don't do Technic but even this set has me interested.
Alex, this video is far more interesting than an F1 “race” 😉. Lego would do themselves well to start making NASCAR kits especially considering that this years Daytona 500 winner, William Byron, is an AFOL.
Nice to see an appearance from Joshua Spock. He seemed slightly happier to be in this video than the bricks and minifigs moc moving video. 😂
His teenage boy mode is in full force now.
I have the Ferrari F1 and it started a very expensive obsession .I am thinking about the Mercedes. I didn't get the McLaren as i had an issue with their driver lineup.

Awesome review! Came back after I saw your review of the silver champion. Was hoping you’d do a video like this.
Great car, great review and even greater to see Josh back. Boy, he grew a lot!
One question left: WHEN are we going to get a Lego Red Bull?? Dutch guy here 😉
I want a Ferrari 288 GTO!! Not a F1 but I want that 1 most of all.
Great review and I appreciate the comparisons! I don't own any of these cars yet, and I wanted to love the McLaren set, but there was too much I didn't like about it.

These are really cool looking cars!
It very interesting that all these have the same size frames and match each other. Josh seems to know more than you. lol
I think we should allow Josh to do all 18+ Lego sets especially the Technic 1's... It's more to his somewhat Adult likes now... Alex ranting about stickers again, that's no surprise to me...😊😊😊 Great job both of you as always a pleasure to watch the video clips...
Cool comparison. How many afols have these five cars in their collection. Keep up the good work.
Should be: "Hand of Wolff steering".
Hah, good one!

Exactly, wanted to write the same thing, the Cada Alfa is so good. Lego has gotten soo bad, it's not even funny
Great team review 😊👍
Nice collection and review on them👍

This is the first time I have a solid reference for the car and driver. Now I like it even more.
'everybody is a Ferrari fan even if they're not; they are a Ferrari fan'
"Sebastian Vettel"
I dont think we get a red bull. I believe rastar has a offical licentie with red bull
Pls Show us the cada alfa romeo
lego went from making race winning cars to podium scrapers lol
Why do Lego keep making the rear wheels the same size as the front on there F1 cars, it just spoils the appearance of the car for me and puts me off of buying one.

Old Technic is superior, of course.
amazing lego F1 comparison video😍
Great collection! Good to run through. I’ve heard the McLaren suspension sags quickly. The Merc looks awesome! May have to get that to go with the McLaren.
How do you fix them on the wall? 0:49
Silver Champion was the best i still have ,mine
Where can I buy those??
The McLaren and Mercedes can be purchased on the LEGO website and most major retailers. The other three can be purchased from private sellers. I recommend buying them on Bricklink.
Next is definitely aston martin
RED BULL 1:8 Lesgooooooo
What about 8386?
Great car, but that was 1:10 scale. No suspension in it either. Funny story, I owned that set back in the day. Sold it years ago.
The car with the hp logo triggers me 😅
Front tires are inaccurate...sadly
Geht nichts über den Alfa Romeo von Cada.
Wow dare You sat tawt teh maclera
are you kidding me , you really like the merc. look at the rear tires. what a peace of sh.t
