Recoloured pieces
Yes, that's right: recolours in a 58-piece GwP, and a bunch of them:
- 1x Slope 18° 4 x 1 in Medium Azure (60477)
- 2x Bracket 1 x 1 - 1 x 1 Inverted in Medium Azure (36840)

- 4x Wheel 11 x 8 with Center Groove, One Smooth Side in Light Bluish Gray (6683)
Two tiny sticker sheets are included to embellish what is admittedly a rather plain-looking build without them.
This is the version that represents The LEGO Group on the F1 ACADEMY grid in the 2026 season, driven by Esmee Kosterman (I'll be reviewing that for you very soon) however this GwP is a generic F1 ACADEMY vehicle; it does not include the LEGO branding and yellow colour. If you're interested seeing the real car the LEGO versions are based on, check out Tim's article covering the reveal of the F1 ACADEMY LEGO Race Car.
