Rumored LEGO F1 Team Garages would bring detailed pit lane dioramas for Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes. Separately, LEGO City F1 75th Anniversary Sets are said to cover all 10 current teams in both DUPLO and standard LEGO form. And after 2024's McLaren and Ferrari Speed Champions releases, insiders are pointing to Aston Martin and Alpine as the next models in that line.
