“The Formula 1 is a simple but charming promotional set from 1998. Its straightforward build, featuring a one-piece chassis and slick tires, makes it great for beginners. The set includes a cool minifigure with a helmet and shades, though the choice of sunglasses under the visor is a quirky detail.”
