LEGO® Technic 42240 F1 Aston Martin AMR25: Everything to Know Before You Buy
The LEGO® Technic 42240 F1 Aston Martin Aramco AMR25 has been available since July 1, 2026. It's one of the most anticipated F1 sets of the season, and not just because Aston Martin is having a historic 2026 season with Fernando Alonso. Here's everything you need to know before you buy.
LEGO® Technic 42240 features
The set recreates the car raced by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll in the 2026 Formula 1 season. Its British Racing Green livery, the UK's national racing colour, is one of the most recognisable on the current grid. The set includes the aerodynamic details of the new 2026 regulations: active wings, a more compact body, and proportions that differ from previous generations.
Who is this set for?
The LEGO® Technic 42240 is designed for adult Formula 1 fans and LEGO® collectors (18+). Its complexity is similar to other recent F1 Technic sets, suitable from an intermediate LEGO® building level. Expect 3 to 5 hours of build time depending on your pace.
Buy now or wait?
LEGO® Technic F1 sets have a clear track record: they sell fast in the first few weeks, then stock levels stabilise. But with the 2026 season in full swing and Alonso in the title fight, demand for this set is especially high. If you want it without delay, it's best not to wait too long.
What to do after the build?
That's the question every collector asks once a set of this quality is finished. Displaying it on a shelf exposes it to dust and handling risks. A Kadris aluminium wall art piece designed specifically for the LEGO® Technic 42240 lets you display it permanently, in high definition, with the British Racing Green in full intensity.
The Kadris wall art for the Aston Martin AMR25 42240 is available for pre-order, shipping from July 5, 2026. You can order the set and the wall art together for a coordinated delivery.

LEGO® Technic 42240 F1 Aston Martin AMR25: Everything to Know Before You Buy: useful context for fans and collectors
Quick answer: use this article as a guide to the circuit, model or race topic, but verify live schedules, results and product availability when timing matters. Formula 1 information changes during a season, while the most durable value comes from understanding the circuit's character and the differences between display models.
What should be checked before race weekend?
Confirm the official timetable in your country, including time-zone differences and any sprint format. Weather, session times and grid information can change. Official championship and circuit sources should take priority for live sporting information.
How should LEGO® F1 models be compared?
Look beyond the team colours. Compare scale, build complexity, working features and the space required after assembly. A Technic car and a smaller display model can represent the same team but offer very different building and presentation experiences.
How can several cars be displayed together?
Keep a consistent viewing angle and spacing, then choose one organising principle: team, season, scale or colour. A clear hierarchy prevents a complete grid from looking like a crowded shelf. Leave access to models that you still want to handle or update.
Can older race information become outdated?
Yes. Results, records and driver line-ups should be dated and checked against official sources. Historical circuit facts are more stable, but current claims should never be treated as permanent.
Is the LEGO® set included with a Kadris display?
No, unless the relevant product page explicitly says otherwise. Kadris supplies the compatible aluminium display, its mounting system and the selected finish. Sets and minifigures shown in photographs illustrate the possible result.
How should the model be protected over time?
Keep it away from direct sunlight, strong heat and narrow passageways. Vertical presentation can greatly limit dust accumulation compared with a crowded shelf, but it does not replace occasional gentle cleaning or a closed display case.
