LEGO’s extensive partnership with Formula 1 has just added another set the grid! This is the brand new 1,547-piece LEGO Technic 42240 Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 F1 Car.

Despite us currently being a third of the way through the 2026 Formula 1 season, 42240 recreates last year’s Aston Martin mid-field competitor (rather than their disastrous 2026 effort) – as piloted by one of the world’s greatest F1 drivers. And Lance Stroll.

Joining the previously revealed championship-winning 42228 McLaren MCL39 F1 Car at the top of the Formula 1 line-up, 42240 matches 42228’s scale (1:8) and technical features, with steering and suspension, a V6 engine with a brick-built ‘electric’ motor, working DRS, and a miserably curtailed two-speed gearbox.

Authentic sponsor decals add accuracy to the AMR25’s appearance, although the standard green parts (which don’t match the real car’s unique hue) and equal-width tyres front and rear do not.

On sale from July 1st, aimed at ages 18+, and expected to cost an enormous $230 / £200 / €230, the 42240 Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 feels like a bit of a rehash, carrying the same limitations as the McLaren MCL39 that preceded it, only being six months late and without that set’s title-winning kudos. Which we suppose means that 42240 does share one attribute with Aston Martin’s current Formula 1 car; it’s pointless.
