Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 — Wheel covers previously used on Camaro ZL1; their return on this set is appreciated

Lamborghini Countach — Used for scale comparison: Countach just over 4m, 2021 F1 car around 5m, making the realistic difference between F1 and Project One in the set

75883 Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One Team — The bearded element on the Lewis Hamilton minifigure also appeared in the earlier set, showing design continuity.

76898 Formula E Panasonic Jaguar Racing GEN2 Car & Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY 64 — The curved halo around the cockpit employs the same building technique.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

1x1 hollow pieces with height of 2 plates
Brand new parts; reviewer searched Rebrickable element ID database without finding prior usage—commenters needed to identify any earlier appearances
Printed curved tiles for air intake above seat
Used instead of sticker for proper coverage and color matching; dark red matches the trim on the car
Wheel covers (same as Chevrolet Camaro ZL1)
Only used twice; blue Pirelli wheels chosen for wet tire appearance, color chosen because of LEGO wheel thread visibility
New printed headlight elements
Used on Project One; require careful angling via tow ball connector solution to match curvature of new headlight pieces
Fender pieces used as curved aerodynamic elements
Clever repurposing of elements for distinctive curved aerodynamic sections in front of windshield
Printed AMG logo on front grille element
Printed headlight elements appear on Project One with branding
