It took 80,000 LEGO bricks to build this drivable Ferrari Formula 1 car. The red racer was assembled for the 2008 annual LEGO World event in the Netherlands. It again proves that the building blocks are not only for children.
The design is fairly realistic, and from a distance you would think the driver should have worn head protection, perhaps a LEGO helmet would have been a good accessory to consider.
It seems there are two different Ferrari in the photos, the second one even comes with a pit crew, for unforeseen repairs.
