KICK Sauber F1 Team C44

"A visually distinctive Speed Champions entry with a genuinely standout livery and several new parts, earning a BrickScore of 70.5, though one of two expert reviewers finds the execution falls short on key livery accuracy details. Owner enthusiasm at 4.8 out of 5 across 1,035 ratings points to broad satisfaction in hand."

Reviewers are divided on the KICK Sauber F1 Team C44, with Jay's Brick Blog scoring it 80 and praising its striking black and green livery and enjoyable build, while Brickset Reviews lands at 60, pointing out blocky airbox ducts and recommending a skip. Both agree the distinctive color scheme stands out in the lineup, but the car's real-world poor performance and controversial KICK sponsorship add context that tempers enthusiasm. Owners disagree sharply with the critics: 1,035 ratings average 4.8 out of 5 across Amazon, Walmart, and Target, suggesting buyers who pick it up are largely satisfied despite the reservations raised by expert reviewers.

Where they split: Jay's Brick Blog recommends buying at 80, calling it an enjoyable build with a standout livery. Brickset Reviews lands at 60 and recommends skipping, flagging the blocky airbox ducts as a meaningful design failure. Owners at 4.8/5 are considerably more positive than Brickset's take.
