Formula 1 is back in the United States this weekend as the U.S. Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas will be the site of a thrilling few days for the sport.
As fans in the U.S. continue to get ready for the weekend, whether you're set to attend the race in person or watch from your home, one thing is for certain—the need for more gear.
Sure, standard T-shirts and hats are great, but arguably the most popular item for F1 fans of all ages are Lego sets. With its ever-growing collection, the Lego x F1 collab continues to impress.
While there's endless options from which to choose, as a lifelong racing fan myself I decided to rank my top five go-to sets for
fans that will be a fun, added element as you cheer on your favorite team and drivers this weekend. Check out the full list below:
