If Oscar Piastri doesn't win the F1 championship this year I'm eating the pieces of this Lego McLaren set (which is currently 20% off)
Do you enjoy watching cars go vroom vroom on a different race track in a different country (almost) every weekend of the year? Me too. I've been a Formula 1 fan for years now, and the excitement of seeing the drivers take to the track hasn't wavered. I'm a struggling Ferrari fan (I cry every weekend), but I'm also a McLaren supporter... well, more of an Oscar Piastri supporter, to be honest. And, like me, do you also enjoy building Lego sets regardless of how big or small they are or how many pieces they contain? Then you've come to the right place because I've found a great deal for you. The Lego Technic McLaren Formula 1 2022 Replica set is currently discounted by 20% at Amazon U.S. — this brings it down to $159 from its retail price of $199. The Lego replica of the 2022 McLaren F1 car includes features like the V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons, steering, suspension and differential for precision cornering. Containing 1,432 pieces, this set will keep F1 fans — adults and kids alike — busy for hours. While Piastri didn't join McLaren until 2023, the 2022 car replica is still a great way to support your favorite team. I think this is an absolutely fantastic deal — if you're up to the challenge. This set contains 1,432 pieces so assembling it won't be an easy feat. It'll take hours but that can be a great way to keep yourself busy until the next race weekend comes along. The 2022 replica also features the V6 cylinder engine with moving pistons, steering, suspension and differential for precision cornering — just like the real MCL36. It comes with stickers too, just like most other Lego sets. The finished car measures 25.5 x 10.5 x 5 inches so you could even display it with pride on your coffee table. Or you could get a McLaren themed display wallboard ($89) which will a) save space, b) make your space look really cool, and c) make your guests very envious. Now that McLaren has a real chance at winning the World Drivers' Championship, there's no better time to get the lego set as you can save $40 on it. Happy building!

View Photos of Paul Oz's Racing-Themed Sculptures
read the full story Sculptor Paul Oz has made use of a variety of techniques, from the traditional foundry methods to 3-D printing, to create bronze tributes to racing legends. Scroll through to see his works at all stages of production and completion. Oz's tribute to Ayrton Senna was a logistical tour de force in which he personally posed inside a replica Senna suit to create hundreds of images that he then used in 3-D printing. Oz used the 3-D printing to re-create the image in clay, then cast it in wax. Afterward, it was cast in bronze. The setup is elaborate for such a project. Oz had a spectacular idea, to use wheels from the McLaren Formula 1 race cars and melt them down to make a sculpture in magnesium. Oz works on his Bruce McLaren. James Hunt immortalizes the late McLaren F1 driver and World Champion. Bruce McLaren was commissioned by McLaren to mark 50 years since his death in 1970. Carioca, the Lamborghini Bull was made using a live model. The Lamborghini bull sculpture was displayed at Sant'Agata in 2024. Alberto, named for Alberto Ascari, Ferrari's first Formula 1 World Champion, also originated from a live model. TV stunt horse Luminoso was photographed by 200 cameras as he reared on one leg. On his website, Oz recalls that "it truly amazed all of us in the foundry when the first three-foot-tall cast, 30 kg of bronze, balanced perfectly on one small hoof without being bolted down." Amore de Deus is rich in symbolism as a life-size bronze tribute to the Brazilian Senna. Keep going for more images from the Paul Oz studios.

F1 Japanese GP: Norris leads McLaren 1-2 as grass fires interrupt practice
Motorsport photo Lando Norris closed out Japanese Grand Prix practice with the fastest time, just 0.026 seconds ahead of McLaren Formula 1 team-mate Oscar Piastri, as the session faced two red flags due to grass fires. Advertisement The championship leader aborted two hot laps during his late-session qualifying simulations on soft tyres due to minor wide moments on the exit of the second Degner corner, but rallied on his third attempt to set a 1m27.965s. Although Norris did not beat his best first sector time on that lap, he found further improvement in the final two sectors to snatch the best lap from Piastri. This could not be beaten in the late-session flurry of hot laps of soft tyres; Norris's timesheet-topper was followed by a grass fire - the second of the session - on the grass alongside 130R. Sauber's Gabriel Bortoleto had run marginally wide here on the entry to the flat-out left-hander, and just about saved his car from spinning off into the opposite wall. Moments later, the grass here caught fire to bring the session to a close. Advertisement Despite overnight attempts to quell any further grass fires, the first of the two FP3 red flags was brought out after just six minutes of running, as the island of grass between Turn 12 and the chicane used for motorbike racing at the Suzuka course was ignited. George Russell, Mercedes George Russell, Mercedes Peter Fox - Getty Images Peter Fox - Getty Images This led to a short seven-minute delay, leaving Max Verstappen's first timed run on hards perched at the top of the order. But his time was quickly brushed aside by a series of soft-tyre laps on the restart, as Norris shuffled ahead on his first play for a lap; in turn, the Briton was deposed by the two Ferraris. Advertisement Piastri then reclaimed top spot, bringing the times into the 1m28s ballpark, before George Russell eclipsed him at the head of the leaderboard. The Australian bounced back to sink below the 1m27s bracket, which Russell found himself almost a tenth shy of entering - but this was simply the prelude to Norris's later move to the top. Russell shook out in third ahead of Charles Leclerc, while Verstappen got a late upgrade to fifth after his initial soft tyre run - he had been just a tenth ahead of new team-mate Yuki Tsunoda before the Dutchman was offered a second attempt. He found the car "undriveable" at certain corners, after being offered a chance of a change in diff settings by engineer Gianpiero Lambiase. Lewis Hamilton was sixth ahead of Alex Albon, who sat ahead of Pierre Gasly, Tsunoda - who didn't get a chance to close in on Verstappen late into the session - and Isack Hadjar. Carlos Sainz was 11th, after surviving an excursion at Turn 6 due to a snap of oversteer. Both Verstappen and Piastri were pinged by the stewards having appeared to not follow the race director's instructions governing practice starts on the pitlane exit. F1 Japanese GP – FP3 results
