REVIEW: Lego's Speed Champions F1, an adrenaline build
Speed Champions basically puts racing car lovers in the driver's seat. With Formula One fever revving up in South Africa, with a grand prix expected possibly in 2027, the country is lapping up racing merchandise, including Lego's Speed Champions F1 cars. As a massive F1 fan, I was excited to hear of the partnership between F1 and Lego when it was unveiled in November 2024. F1 If you love to build, the Lego Speed Champions F1 cars will heighten your F1 fever and tenacity to be a kid again as excitement builds in South Africa for lineup of Red Bulls Max Verstappen, Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton and McLaren's Lando Norris on the starting grid. With lots of parts, techniques and a large array of drivers and sponsors, Lego has gone all out with this review starting with a…..NEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWWW! The Lego Speed Champions feature F1 cars currently racing on the Formula One circuit and with a F1 Grand Prix possibly being held in South Africa in 2027, these racers are getting a lot of attention., Speed Champions basically puts racing car lovers in the driver's seat with realistic vehicle models from familiar racing competitors. ALSO READ: Lego Formula One cars at Miami Grand Prix ignite F1 fever in SA Build I found the cars easy to build and not particularly challenging. If you work really fast, you can build the F1 car of your choice in 30 to 60 minutes. Each set consists of six bags in total, with the build completed in three separate sections. In addition, each set comes with a plethora of stickers which replicate the true F1 car as they are all covered in sponsors to help promote the team. Small While speed is the essence of F1 cars, no pun is intended when I say that the sets were a quick build and somewhat slightly faded the brain teaser of where the next part goes. All 10 current F1 team constructors are represented. Individually, each car is not a big build. The Ferrari, for example, is just 275 pieces, while the Mercedes is 267. The cars themselves are also quite small, coming in at 20cm in length and only 8cm wide. When you compare these measures to their Lego Technic counterparts, such as the McLaren Technic set, they are considerably smaller, which is a bit disappointing. However, this is particularly beneficial for storage reasons, as they take up less space on the shelf, allowing for more room for Lego. Availability and pricing Although I have only experienced three of the 10 builds, these sets are a must for every F1 fan, albeit some very minor issues including under-detailed racing suit and the price is a bit high, but the high level of detail goes some way to justify the asking price. Lego's Speed Champions F1 cars include Ferrari, Mercedes, Alpine, Williams, Haas, McLaren, Aston Martin, Red Bull, Sauber and Visa Cash RB. They retail for R499 each.

This Fathers Day Let Your Presence be Dads Present: 5 Ways to make special memories with your dad
Being a dad is more than a full-time job. From early-morning alarms and back-and-forth school runs to legendary dad jokes that make us grin, dads do it all, often putting their own needs aside. But in the middle of busy schedules and endless to-do lists, what often gets missed is time to simply unwind and play. Play isn't just for fun—it turns everyday time into something memorable, where imaginations run wild and laughter takes the lead. This Father's Day, The LEGO® Group shares heartfelt ways to slow down, build something fun, and gift your dads the one thing that matters the most – quality time together. Plan a movie marathon: Bring out your dad's favourite movie or old classics that he still quotes from memory. Rewatching these films will help you hear about your dad's old memories and build new ones – all with popcorn in hand. Build together: Choose a LEGO® set that speaks to Dad's passions. Team up to tackle a Speed Champions Ferrari SF-24 F1® Race Car if your dad is a speed fanatic or help him destress with a Fountain Garden set. As the bricks fit into place, you will strengthen your bond with a playful respite that will always stay with you as a perfect day spent with your father. Cook a meal together: Take over the kitchen and prepare something delicious together. Whether it's his signature dish, or trying out a new recipe – have fun in the process. Swap stories, share laughs, and experience the joy of creating something side by side. Unwind with family game time: Pull out the Ludo, dust off the carrom board, or bring out a pack of cards for the family. Make time for everyone to sit together and enjoy undivided family time, complete with friendly competition and fun banter. 5. Have a heart-to-heart with dad: While outings are a good way to spend time with your father, nothing beats an honest catch-up session. It can be about anything – a silly incident with a friend, a new project you're excited about, or anything that scares you. Before you know it, you'll both be trading wisdom, sharing laughs, and feeling lighter. At the end of the day, the best gift you can give isn't found in a box or a bag, it's found in the memories you make together.
