In addition to the collectible products, the two drivers will use real versions of the helmets during the Monaco GP. The models were developed in collaboration between Norris, Piastri, and the LEGO design team, incorporating visual elements from the drivers and the special paint created by McLaren for the historic 1000th race.
Oscar Piastri’s helmet combines McLaren’s traditional papaya color with the characteristic blue of the Australian driver. The set has 793 pieces, includes a new Piastri minifigure, and reproduces details such as the driver’s number and graphic elements of the commemorative paint used by the team in Monaco.

Lando Norris’s model also has more than 793 pieces and recreates the traditional fluorescent design used by the British driver. The set also features references to the special decoration of McLaren’s thousandth race and includes an exclusive minifigure of the driver, as well as a display base with a signature plaque.
Louise McEwen, McLaren Racing’s marketing director, highlighted that the initiative represents the union between creativity and innovation, values shared by both brands. Julia Goldin, product and marketing director of the LEGO Group, stated that the project was developed jointly with the drivers and the British team to create a special memento of a historic moment. Both sets are already available for sale starting this Tuesday, June 3, at McLaren Racing’s official stores, on the LEGO website, and at brand outlets worldwide.
