I've developed a simple rating system that is illustrated below to encourage thoughtful evaluation on each Lego set. I consider things like concept, scale, cost, value, ingenuity, creativity, and quality while building each set. The goal is to chronicle the building experience while also providing readers with helpful details about each build. Each Lego set is very different, so each kit and the way it is scored reflects my own personal opinions. The scoring is a 1-10 scale with 10 being a perfect score.   What's in the box?: This kit is made up of 275 parts, plus a printed construction manual, and a single sticker sheet (with a TON of stickers). The pieces are divided up into six separate bags that are numbered. The build is essentially divided into three parts, with two bags dedicated to each section.   Bags 1 & 2: The first couple of bags contain the sole mini figure that comes with the set. Unfortunately, Lego did not seek, or decided not to replicate the 2024 driver likeness in this line. With how frequently the drivers tend to change, and the presumed extra cost of that licensing, that's quite understandable. So instead, a fictional unnamed minifig can be found in the first two bags along with the components to begin building the car's chassis.  
The minifigure with this set is a male driver with jet black hair. He wears a red fire suit with minimal details. The stripes on the fire suit replicate the Ferrari racing stripes found on the car. The Ferrari logo is present on the front of his fire suit, and on his red helmet. Lego developed a new helmet for this line, which includes a pre-attached visor, and accurate aerodynamic moulding on the back. By the end of the first two bags, you have a full build mini figure, and the inner 'guts' of the racer. The only detail you can really make out as this point to the formation of the crown of the fuselage formed by two lego door pieces which can be seen in the center of the chassis, shown below. There are several 'bonus' pieces from the first bag that are all only a single stud or two studs in size. Gladly, the sticker gauntlet hasn't really started yet. Just a few to be applied in this section.  Bag's 3 & 4: The 3rd and 4th bags create a central shell around the now established inner portion of the vehicle. The stickers really pick up steam here. There are only a few printed pieces, unfortunately.    Bag's 5 & 6: The 5th and 6th bags really fill out the design and, as you'd expect, result in what you're building actually look like a Formula 1 car. This section also requires the application of a ton of stickers. These two bags were the most enjoyable of the six bags. The building techniques in this section weren't as intricate and fascinating as the first few, and are more inline with what you'll find with the other F1 cars from the Speed Champions F1 line.  
Completed Product: Out of the ten F1 cars from this special edition of Speed Champions, the Ferarri has the most pieces, and the most stickers. It's been a few months since these hit store shelves, and it's apparent by looking at sales on Amazon, that this is the most popular of the 10 teams. That makes sense and seems to properly coincide with current F1 fandom. The finished product looks great, and is a big-time eye catcher. The main frame of the car is recognizable as an F1 car, and as a Ferrari racing SF-24. The car is distinctly different from the other F1 cars from this line, but also a perfect compliment to the competitors. There's a good mix of red and black Lego bricks. There's also a diverse selection of specialized pieces that keep the building process interesting. The biggest drawback is going to be the stickers, and how easily you can 'mess up' your model if you aren't aligning the stickers properly. Even if you are aligning them correctly, you can still end up with odd gaps if the stickers aren't perfectly centered as well, to a degree, it's a fools game.  
SF-24 seen standing alongside the Red Bull. From the top down, it's apparent that each of these cars were designed to be different from one another, and reflective of their 1/1 on track counterparts. The Ferrari is perhaps more 'blocky' than the Red Bull. It also appears lower and longer than the Red Bull, but they are the same length. This illusion is a credit to the designers.  Conclusion: I've built two of these F1 cars so far. Frankly, the Ferrari was not as fun as the Red Bull was (and I'm a Haas guy). Focusing on the concept, I still can't believe that Lego has given us a full field of teams. I think a lot of credit needs to be given, because it's clear to me, that this set must have been a monumental undertaking considering the amount of royalties, and licensing that had to have taken place in order to bring these cars to life. At $26 dollars per set, I wonder if they will really make money on this. The upcharge will probably cover the royalties, but probably not the inflation. The major issue that needs to be discussed is the stickers. Without some very careful hands, it's so easy to make mistakes, and once the stickers have been applied, there's really no great way to fix them. We also only get a generic driver instead of an official Ferrari driver. The car itself was an enjoyable build, but a few of the building techniques, while functional, were not sturdy. I can tell that moving this thing around from time to time will result in easy breakage. Still, the execution and design work, and the fact that the car even exists is awesome. Give this an 8/10.
