I had to do some some "internal" changes, but they don't affect the exterior, except the vertical support of the halo. I had to use another part for it, but I'm thinking right now how to improve. I already have some ideas... :D" I have been looking forward to another Formula 1 car since Speed Champions' traditional scale was updated two years ago. 76909 Mercedes-AMG F1 W12 E Performance & Mercedes-AMG Project One does not disappoint, as Lewis Hamilton's car includes tremendous detail and has undoubtedly benefitted from the enlarged size, relative to previous Formula 1 cars from Speed Champions.

This design takes inspiration from the 2021 car and closely resembles its source material, particularly since the grey section behind the airbox is unique. Accurate teal and dark red highlights are included as well.

This stylish fin is ingeniously assembled using a 2x6x4 vertical stabiliser, attached with Technic pins and partially hidden inside the body. Plates and tiles are then fitted sideways beside the fin, closing any gaps. The entire structure slots together seamlessly and colourful elements, such as the red 1x1 round tile with bar shown below, are concealed when the bodywork is finished.

Would the steering wheel fit on plate 21445? Because that would allow to slide the driver one stud forward, recline him/her and then attach the wheel above the legs with the special plate 21445 - did not try it but might be (an element) of solution.
