Lego brings Ferrari F2004 of Micheael Schumacher back to life
17/02/2026
The V10. The screaming red. And a season that went down in the history books.
LEGO is tapping back into the absolute glory years of Formula 1 with a new set in the Icons series: the legendary Ferrari F2004, driven by none other than Michael Schumacher. For tifosi, this is pure nostalgia in 735 pieces.
The F2004: absolute dominance in the V10 era
With the Ferrari F2004, Schumacher delivered one of the most impressive seasons in modern Formula 1 history. 13 wins to his name, 2 additional victories for team‑mate Rubens Barrichello, and a 7th world title as the crowning achievement.
It was the era of naturally aspirated V10 engines, minimal hybrid influence, and pure mechanical aggression. Ferrari was simply untouchable at the time. LEGO now translates that period into a 735‑piece Icons set, clearly aimed at adult collectors.
What makes this set special
The LEGO Ferrari F2004 is more than a scale model. The car features:
Working steering
Removable engine cover
Detailed V10 engine
Display stand with season information
In addition, the set includes a Michael Schumacher minifigure, complete with helmet, trophy and iconic red cap. The podium display features his quote:
“I have always believed that you should never, ever give up and always keep fighting, even when there is only a minimal chance.”
The set consists of 735 pieces, measures 32 cm in length, and is priced at €89.99. Deliveries start on 1 March. Notably, LEGO enlisted Mick Schumacher to promote the release, a subtle but emotional link between generations.
LEGO and F1: a growing partnership
LEGO has been an official Formula 1 partner since September 2024, and it shows. Alongside historic models such as the McLaren MP4/4 of Ayrton Senna and the Williams FW14B of Nigel Mansell, modern F1 cars are also appearing in brick form.
Even during the Miami Grand Prix, drivers took part in a parade featuring LEGO‑inspired bodywork. The collaboration goes far beyond nostalgia alone, becoming a structural crossover between motorsport and design culture.
AutoNext verdict
Why does this work so well? Because 2004 feels like the last truly pure era for many fans. No hybrid complexity. No excessive regulation. Just a V10, a chassis pushed to the limit, and a driver who made the difference.
LEGO understands that emotion sells. And Ferrari + Schumacher + V10 is pure emotion.
Is this a must‑have?
For tifosi: without question.
For F1 Icons collectors: absolutely.
For those who lived through 2004: priceless in memory.
