A new LEGO Formula 1 helmet, reportedly representing McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, is expected to launch in 2026, adding to the growing lineup of driver headgear. This anticipated release ties into the LEGO Group’s ongoing expansion of their cross-theme helmet collection, which recently included new Scuderia Ferrari helmets.
Details on the Upcoming McLaren Helmet and Pricing
Instagram user lego_minecraft_goat revealed in a recent story that the set, identified as 43017 McLaren Oscar Piastri Helmet, could arrive alongside two confirmed Ferrari helmets, set to retail for $89.99 or €89.99. These prices align with the official tags for the 43014 Scuderia Ferrari HP Charles Leclerc Helmet and 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet, both of which will be released on May 1 with a £79.99 price in the UK. While the LEGO Group has not yet verified the McLaren helmet’s existence, if released as expected, it will likely include an Oscar Piastri minifigure.
Minifigure Inclusions and Collection Enhancements
Both the Ferrari helmet sets will feature minifigures of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, marking their first LEGO versions. These additions enhance the LEGO Speed Champions Formula 1 collection, which currently includes generic driver figures rather than specific racers.
Prospects for Additional McLaren Driver Helmets
There is no official confirmation about a helmet for Lando Norris, Piastri’s teammate at McLaren, but speculation remains that such a set may be released. Norris holds a notable championship as the 2025 Formula 1 Drivers’ Champion, which makes his inclusion a plausible next step for LEGO’s Formula 1 collection.
Overview of the 2026 LEGO Editions Launches
These helmets will be released under the LEGO Editions label, which also features a variety of football-themed sets. The 2026 product slate appears diverse, continuing LEGO’s trend of detailed and collectible race-themed merchandise.
“There’s no word yet on whether we can expect a Lando Norris helmet to round out the current roster of McLaren drivers, in the same way that the LEGO Group is releasing helmets for both Ferrari drivers side-by-side. But we wouldn’t be surprised to see it happen: Norris is the more decorated of the two McLaren racers, having won the Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship in 2025.” ?lego_minecraft_goat, Instagram user
