With the return of the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix this month, LEGO and the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team have teamed up to bring the LEGO Technic Grand ‘Brix’ Pop-Up Experience to Wisma Atria in Orchard Road, Singapore. Visitors can find the pop-up right outside of the mall.
The Pop-up experience takes place from now until 22 September, right after the Singapore Grand Prix.
The life-sized LEGO Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance race car is to scale. Don't believe it? See the next photo.
According to LEGO, the LEGO Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance is crafted from 192,937 LEGO bricks over 2,428 hours by 15 model builders
And we can see why; with details such as the decals on the original race car that were actually built out of bricks.
And unlike the LEGO sets that comes with rubber tyres, the wheels here are also made out of LEGO bricks.
If you've built the LEGO Technic model of the same race car, you would also find a lot of details that will have you creaming "easter eggs".
Here's a better angle of how the rear looks. Again, there are a lot of details to take notice of.
Yup, AMD has been an F1 sponsor for many years. This is the fourth season it's with the Mercedes-AMG F1 team.
A little F1 trivia: Mercedes-AMG Lewis Hamilton is leaving for Ferrari in 2025, ending a spectacular 11-year run at Mercedes that resulted in six world championships.
Don't forget to take loads of pictures of this awesome F1 race car when you're at the entrance of Wisma Atria in Orchard Road, Singapore, this weekend.
The life-sized race car measures 5.1 metres in length and 2.2 metres in width. That's about eight times the size of the 42171 LEGO Technic Mercedes-AMG F1 W14 E Performance set compared here.
Speaking of LEGO builds, you can also purchase a whole assortment of LEGO racing or sports car sets for all ages at the pop-up event. If you're wondering how the build experience of the above-mentioned model could pan out, come check out our McLaren Formula 1 Race Car (LEGO 42141) building experience, which is also being sold.
Of course, there are plenty of LEGO F1 activities too. Motorsport fans can immerse themselves with exciting building activities and speed challenges starting from 11am to 9pm daily until 22 September.
