McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna

"The McLaren MP4/4 and Ayrton Senna set earns its Recommended tier with a BrickScore of 77.4 and one of the highest owner ratings in its category: an 4.81 average across more than 3,300 buyers who consistently call it the definitive LEGO tribute to an F1 legend, sticker sheet and narrow rear tyres notwithstanding."

Owner feedback for the McLaren MP4/4 and Ayrton Senna set is near-unanimous in its enthusiasm: 4.81 out of 5 across 3,330 ratings, with Amazon buyers averaging 4.9. Buyers consistently describe it as an essential tribute to Senna and a great middle ground between the larger Technic F1 models and the smaller Speed Champions cars. Common threads in owner feedback include praise for intricate detail, a satisfying and relaxing build, the Senna minifigure, and functional features like the movable airfoil and rotating steering wheel. The main criticisms, noted across multiple reviews, are the rear tyre sizing (too small relative to scale), a missing Marlboro livery due to tobacco advertising restrictions, and stickers where printed elements would be preferred. The BrickScore of 77.4 reflects a well-regarded but not flawless set.
