THE REVIEW
Build Experience

This set splits roughly two-thirds pit stop structure, one-third Ferrari F1 car โ€” and both builds reward the builder. The Ferrari car construction is the same chassis as the McLaren City set (#60442), which means the same pleasant surprise of how much aerodynamic shape LEGO extracts at this scale โ€” this time in stunning all-red Ferrari livery. The pit stop itself is a more complex build using Technic beams for the swing-arm mechanism. Expect about 60-75 minutes total.

Technique Value

The pit stop mechanism is the headline: a Technic-driven function that swings two pit crew members into position on either side of the car when you trigger the engine element. It's a playability function primarily, but the underlying mechanism โ€” Technic beam rotation driving connected arms โ€” is a well-executed introduction to mechanical building. Worth studying.

Parts Haul

322 pieces with a strong red/black color split and 5 minifigures. The Ferrari F1 driver in full red livery is the best-looking driver fig in the City F1 range. The curved wall pieces on the pit structure use interesting compound curves that translate well to architectural MOC work. A solid parts set.

Display Quality

Display value is limited by the mechanical nature of the build โ€” the Technic beams and function components are visible from some angles. From the front, though, this looks excellent: the Ferrari red pit structure with the scarlet car sitting at the center is visually cohesive and immediately communicates what it is. The best-looking set in the City F1 lineup.

Value for Money

322 pieces, 5 figures (including a Ferrari-liveried driver), and a working pit stop mechanism is excellent value. At roughly this is the best price-per-piece in the City F1 range. The Ferrari license alone commands a premium that LEGO has absorbed into the price. Strong buy.

THE GOOD
  • โœ“ Ferrari livery is stunning at any scale
  • โœ“ Working pit stop mechanism is genuinely fun
  • โœ“ 5 minifigures including driver
  • โœ“ Best price-per-piece in City F1 range
  • โœ“ Curved wall architecture worth studying
ROOM TO IMPROVE
  • โœ— Technic beams visible from some angles
  • โœ— Mechanism limits clean 360ยฐ display
The Earl's Verdict
The Ferrari Pit Stop is the best City Formula 1 set in the current wave. The scarlet livery, the working pit stop mechanism, 5 figs, and the best value per piece in the F1 City lineup. If you buy one City F1 set this year, make it this one.
