Today we'll take a quick look at the contents of the LEGO CITY set. 60474 F1 Grid with VCARB & Sauber Race Cars, a 313-piece box available via the official online store since March 1, 2025 at a retail price of €29,99. As you already know, LEGO has signed a partnership with Formula 1 and the manufacturer is therefore offering single-seaters in all sorts of ways. In addition to the Technic, ICONS, Speed ​​Champions, and micro-collectible models, there are a few boxes on the flagship 2025 theme in the CITY range.

LEGO's proposition is logically adapted to the young audience targeted by this range and the two single-seaters delivered in this box are therefore ultra-simplified versions which prioritize playability over finish.

Both vehicles are perfectly identical in design, only the colors differ, and they are easy to handle without breaking anything. The patterned parts are pad-printed; no stickers are included in this box.

The simplification is pushed to the extreme here and we have to make do with vehicles without a steering wheel and a roll bar that doesn't serve much purpose since the drivers' helmets clearly protrude. There are still a few visible studs at the front with a slightly unsightly staircase effect, but nothing serious.

LEGO has attached a starting gate to the two single-seaters, and it's a pretty neat design, considering it's part of the CITY range. The gate features a sliding mechanism borrowed from the Speed ​​Champions range that turns the lights on and off; it's simple but effective.

The race marshal has his own booth, a checkered flag, and even a cup for the winner. Everything is ready for a little fun as the two cars are thrown around.

As for the three minifigs delivered in this box, nothing crazy, simplification is also at work here with very symbolic outfits which are not covered in sponsors for the two drivers and a torso already seen a lot for the race commissioner.

In the end, I find the exercise of adapting the Formula 1 universe to the CITY sauce rather successful with an obvious simplification of the subject covered but playability guaranteed by the different proposals of the range. LEGO has found a good compromise here which offers the youngest real play possibilities.

This isn't always the case in this range, which sometimes settles for products that are a bit lazy in terms of both substance and form. If I had had access to these products when I was younger, I would have been won over and would obviously have wanted to get the complete collection of single-seaters available.

Other boxes from the CITY range allow you to complete the starting grid, and in addition to the 8 other single-seaters available, the ecosystem created by LEGO is quite complete with a transport truck, a stand for two teams and a Pit Stop: 

If you only buy your LEGO products from the official online store because you like to collect as many Insider points as possible, for example, you should know that the manufacturer is currently offering, until March 23, 2025, two bundled offers that allow you to benefit from a modest 10% reduction on the retail price of the two sets together.

March 2025 is Formula 1 Month at LEGO, with a large handful of single-seater sets on sale and a few activities to motivate customers. The brand La Grande Recre has notably planned an operation which will allow customers of each store to leave with a micro Formula 1 to build on site.

The proposed construction will be even more compact than that delivered in the boxes of the LEGO Collectibles collection. 71049 F1 Collectible Race Cars (29 pieces - €3.99), the micro vehicles will not include any helmets or minifigs.

This is not a reason to come and trample on the children who want to get their single-seater, do not push, do not shove. The operation will take place on March 19 and 22, 2025 from 14:00 p.m. to 17:00 p.m. in The stores of the sign.
