I will hold the Pirelli ones I have until I see what happens with desirability and selling prices. If I see prices are higher than the regular ones when they are available again, I will hold on even longer. If the prices are similar, I'll unload them.

exracer327 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 A friend @ LEGO told me the stickers being removed are related to McLaren sponsors with ties to Russia. So it's not just the wheels that are changing but specific stickers that are being removed from the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new official box art pics are up at Lego and Pirelli is still on the stickers just not on the wheels of this set due to a change in sponsorship to Google. The other stickers changed or removed was because they are no longer McLaren sponsors. It is not a Lego issue but a McLaren issue as Pirelli remains on the wheels of the Mercedes F1 SC set.

MotorCityMuscle Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 what a fiasco. will they keep updating the stickers as the sponsorships change? the current kit with the google chrome logo wheels and android sponsor looks pretty cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A comparison of the two sticker sheets will make it more obvious. Sadly the new wheel look is actually worse. The colorful stuf should be inside and the blue stripe should tehincally be on the tire itself, designating them as Pirelli F1 rain tires.
