Lewis Hamilton hopes to end his final season at Mercedes with a highlight. For now, however, the British former world champion does not have the material to play a significant role in Formula 1. Toto Wolff's team is, currently, working hard behind the scenes on improvements for the W15. Meanwhile, it appears that the German team has even built a very special car.

An F1 car has around about 14,500 different parts. A lot of building blocks, then, and perhaps this inspired Lego to have the Mercedes F1 car recreated. Not as a miniature, but full-size. Even the Mercedes steering wheel has been recreated.

Lego had a lot of work on the Mercedes F1

How many bricks were used for this new Mercedes is unknown. That it has been quite a work to recreate this F1 car is at least a certainty. Images of the new car have since been shared by the German team via their social media channels.
