If the first-ever LEGO F1 sets are way too puny for your taste, well, LEGO has you covered too. Joining the ranks of the LEGO Icons McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna set (10330), LEGO now presents the Williams Racing FW14B – a tribute to the legendary Nigel Mansell and his championship-winning car.
This set is a must for those who love both the thrill of racing and the satisfaction of clicking together 799 pieces of plastic perfection. The LEGO Icons Williams Racing FW14B & Nigel Mansell (10353) set is the real deal.
It’s designed for adults aged 18 and up (because no one under 18 should mess with this kind of technical sophistication), and it brings the magic of Mansell’s 1992 Formula 1 World Championship-winning car straight into your living room.
Think of it as the perfect desk accessory for your office or the world’s coolest paperweight. It even comes with a mini Mansell figure in full racing gear, helmet, and all, for when you want to pretend you’re him while pretending to work.
The set isn’t just for display – it’s a functioning work of engineering art. You get working steering, wide rear slick tires with the iconic Goodyear logo, and a replica engine that might make you feel like you’re the one behind the wheel.
The model, which measures over 12 inches long (30.5 cm), also includes a display stand complete with vehicle details and stats – you know, just in case you need to justify your hobby to non-enthusiasts.
I have no idea the scale. I don’t believe LEGO makes it clear but it should be similar to the McLaren MP4/4 which is somewhere between 1:13 and 1:14. I could be wrong. Honestly, I think it should really be fixed at 1:10.
When it comes to the legendary F1 race car driver Nigel Mansell minifigure, it’s not just about the man – it’s about the whole atmosphere. His display stand comes with a photo of him in action and a quote that could probably inspire you to race to the nearest LEGO store. For anyone into F1 history, this set hits all the right notes without the risk of speeding tickets.
Pre-orders are already underway, with the set officially launching on March 1st, 2025. As for the price, it will set you back US$79,99. It’s a worthy investment for anyone who wants to bring a bit of Formula 1 excitement into their home, without the risk of crashing into a wall. Keep going for a few more looks at the set.
