"Our partnership with the LEGO Group is rooted in a shared commitment to creativity, innovation and inspiring the next generation of fans"
Today, McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team and the LEGO Group join forces in celebrating McLaren's 1000th race in Monaco by unveiling two new co-created LEGO® Editions helmets as well as real driver helmets based on the new sets, to be worn this weekend at the Monaco GP. Both LEGO Editions sets feature the drivers in LEGO minifigure form for the first time and are available today, 3 June, 2026.
The helmets made for McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team Drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris to wear in celebration of the team’s 1000th race, were created in a special collaboration between the drivers and the LEGO design team. The helmets feature striking details and the drivers’ signature colour schemes, combined with the unique design of the McLaren Mastercard Formula 1 Team 1000th race livery, to celebrate the incredible milestone. Both real helmets are based on the two all new LEGO Editions sets, which fans are now able to take home, celebrating a unique racing legacy.
Designed in collaboration with Oscar Piastri and serving as basis for the race-worn 1000th Grand Prix celebration helmet, it features the signature McLaren papaya colour and Oscar’s favourite blue. Featuring details such as Oscar’s driver number and fully printed patterns as seen on the anniversary special car livery, the 793-piece set, comes with an Oscar Piastri LEGO minifigure, dressed in a hand-picked outfit. Built onto a black stand including a printed signature plaque, the set is the perfect addition to any fans’ display shelves.
A set worthy of world champions. Made up of over 793-pieces, this display set features Lando’s iconic fluorescent blob design and design elements from the celebratory 1000th Grand Prix livery. Co-created with Lando himself, the set features organic shapes with his new driver number, the coveted “1”, in brick-built form. The included minifigure features one-of-a-kind driver design details and can be displayed on the black display stand, adorned with a printed signature plaque.
“Our partnership with the LEGO Group is rooted in a shared commitment to creativity, innovation and inspiring the next generation of fans, and this launch captures that perfectly. Seeing our drivers’ helmet designs reimagined through LEGO creativity and then brought to life on the track at Monaco, is a powerful expression of what we can achieve together. It’s playful, it’s authentic, and it connects our heritage with new audiences in a way that feels both meaningful and relevant. We’ve built something truly special with the LEGO Group over the years, and this is another milestone that reflects the strength of that partnership and the ambition we share for what comes next.”
“With a partnership spanning over a decade, we’re excited to bring the power of LEGO creativity to the historic celebration of McLaren Racing’s 1000th Race. It’s been a true co-creation process, where our LEGO design team worked closely with the drivers and McLaren Racing to develop these special 1000th race LEGO helmet products. Now fans will be able to build the sets at home, creating a cool memento of racing history for display. We can’t wait to see the real helmets being worn this weekend by Lando and Oscar!”
“We worked closely with Lando and Oscar on creating their helmets for fans to build and display at home. They had some great ideas, which we cannot wait for fans to discover when building the sets at home. Creating such organic shapes at this scale always presents us with exciting opportunities for exploring new building techniques and creative parts usage. We hope fans will enjoy building – perhaps as they cheer on the drivers!”
