Like I do every year, I turned to my trusty Lego bricks to recreate all of the 2020 F1 cars!

I've been doing this for a few years now, but it only gets more fun! With the first week of testing done and all the cars revealed to the public, I had a go a trying to recreate them with Lego bricks, on a minifig scale.

Each of those 10 cars are made up of around 150 bricks, and measure about 17cm (6.6 inches) in length. In other words, if you placed a regular Lego dude next to it, it should look just about right.

Compared to last year, I worked on improving several areas. I finally found a satisfying way to represent the front suspensions, quite pleased with that. I changed the rear wing a bit too, making it deeper but shorter in height, I like those proportions better. It's also positioned closer to the rest of the car.

I also changed the part I use for the air intake. This one allows me to model the camera, and also should be less rare of a part in different colors, making it easier for you guys to build the cars at home.

And, just like the teams themselves, I worked on improving the barge boards and sidepods. It's become a real area of differentiation between the cars, and when you're working on a small scale like this, these area are crucial. The goal is to not only have 10 cars that look different from each other, but they should also look as closely as possible to the real world counterparts.

I designed the testing livery, and then guessed at what the race car would look like. Easier to see the details in yellow, too! I designed the testing livery, and then guessed at what the race car would look like. Easier to see the details in yellow, too!

For example, the Mercedes has a thin nose, complex bargeboard area, the new thin and high side intakes, and very sculpted sidepods.

The Ferrari, on the other hand, still has the wide nose, and retains those very high sidepods intakes. The airbox is more triangular, too. And so it goes for the rest of the cars: it's super fun to figure out how to include a particular design detail!

I'm a bit of a Ferrari fanboy, so I hope they can get it together in 2020. The car looks great, at least!

Anyways, here are the rest of the cars!

The Red Bull was the hardest of all to design for me. Plenty of little different details and odd proportions. Fun though! The Red Bull was the hardest of all to design for me. Plenty of little different details and odd proportions. Fun though!

I have to say, the Alpha Tauri looks as good as its name is terrible. Old Williamw-BMW vibes! I have to say, the Alpha Tauri looks as good as its name is terrible. Old Williamw-BMW vibes!

The easiest design job of them all: copy last years Mercedes and add my Lego improvements (suspension, rear wing...) over it. The easiest design job of them all: copy last years Mercedes and add my Lego improvements (suspension, rear wing...) over it.

Haas is back to their old livery. I find it a bit boring, but maybe that's just me! Haas is back to their old livery. I find it a bit boring, but maybe that's just me!

Another good looking McLaren. Hopefully they get closer to the front. Happy with the bargeboard area! Another good looking McLaren. Hopefully they get closer to the front. Happy with the bargeboard area!

Much improved livery for the Williams. Hopefully performance follows suit! Much improved livery for the Williams. Hopefully performance follows suit!

I didn't design the now famous DAS system in this, I hope you'll forgive me! I didn't design the now famous DAS system in this, I hope you'll forgive me!

Making that weird double air intake was a cool challenge! Making that weird double air intake was a cool challenge!

So there you are, all the 2020 F1 cars, in Lego form! I do hope you like them. Much like in the real world, they are an evolution of last year's models. But 2021 will bring completely new designs, and I can't wait for that!

If you want to build your own, I'll post instructions and parts lists soon on this very Tribe, so stay tuned for that!
