Audi Returns to F1 - And LEGO's Already on the Grid

Just a day after Audi revealed their new Revolut F1 Team R26 race car for the 2026 season, LEGO has announced the Speed Champions Audi Revolut F1 Team R26 Race Car (77259). You've got to admire how quickly the LEGO team moves when there's a hot new racing machine to recreate.

This marks Audi's return to Formula 1 after decades away, which makes this Speed Champions release rather special. The timing feels perfect - kids who build this set will be watching the real thing tear around Monaco and Silverstone come race season. At 215 pieces for £27.99 (about 13p per piece), it sits right in the sweet spot for Speed Champions pricing.

The set follows the established Speed Champions formula that's worked so well over the years. You get an authentic-looking F1 car that actually captures the proportions and details of the real thing, plus it's sized perfectly for display on a shelf or desk. The official images show off that distinctive Audi front wing design and the Revolut branding that'll make this instantly recognisable to F1 fans.

The set launches on March 1st, giving everyone plenty of time to clear some shelf space. Not a bad way to celebrate Audi's F1 comeback, really.
