What Owners Say

The Mercedes-AMG F1 and Project One dual-set is a broadly well-received Speed Champions pack praised for detailed designs and good value for two cars, but dogged by heavy sticker application, occasional loose wheel axles on the F1, and a widely criticized decision not to include a minifigure that matches Lewis Hamilton's appearance.

COMMON PRAISE

+Excellent value for money getting two detailed, well-designed cars in one package
+The Project One is particularly well-received for its clever build techniques and printed headlight pieces
+Both cars are sturdy enough for play and look great on display
+Fun, engaging build suitable for a wide age range including younger builders with some adult help

COMMON COMPLAINTS

−The F1 car is heavily sticker-dependent, with decals spanning multiple elements that many owners find frustrating to apply precisely
−F1 wheel axle connection is loose, causing rear tires to pop off during play
−Multiple reviewers are disappointed and some are outraged that the minifigure representing Lewis Hamilton's car does not reflect his appearance
−A few reports of missing pieces preventing completion of the Project One
