F1 Grid with VCARB & Sauber Race Cars

"With a BrickScore of 75, the F1 Grid with VCARB & Sauber Race Cars is a well-priced, play-first City set that delights younger builders and completes the 2025 City F1 lineup — just don't expect Speed Champions-level detail from vehicles that are deliberately built tough and simple."

LEGO City 60474 F1 Grid with VCARB & Sauber Race Cars earns a solid BrickScore of 75, landing as a competent, play-focused entry in the 2025 City F1 lineup. Expert reviewers and buyers alike appreciate it as a fun, accessible set that completes the City F1 collection — two cars, a start/finish grid, and a clever sliding race-light mechanism make for an engaging package at a fair price (~$30/£25/€30). The core critique from expert reviewers is that the ultra-simplified vehicles sacrifice detail for durability, and the set faces stiff competition from Speed Champions, Technic, and Icons F1 releases launching in the same window.

Where they split: Buyer reviews are uniformly enthusiastic (overwhelmingly 5-star), while expert reviewers (Brick Fanatics, Hoth Bricks) are more measured — praising value and play features but openly critiquing the simplified aesthetics and weak minifigure detail. There is no disagreement on the set being good for kids; the split is between those evaluating it as a children's toy versus those assessing it as an F1 collectible or display piece.
