One of the most iconic and greatest Formula One drivers of all time, Michael Schumacher, finally makes his return in LEGO form with 11375 Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher. We’ve gotten minifigure variants of him in the past, but this new one comes with the formidable F2004 that became synonymous with the Red Baron’s domination of Formula One. As part of the LEGO Icons Formula 1 lineup, it joins its siblings 10353 Williams Racing FW14B & Nigel Mansell and 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna, along with a long historic line of Ferrari-themed LEGO sets.
Let’s jump into the driver’s seat and see how well one of Formula One’s most iconic cars looks in brick form!
Special thanks to the LEGO Group for sending this set over for review.

Set Name
Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher
Retail Price
US$89.99 / AU$149.99 / €89.99 / £79.99 / CAD$119.99
Unboxing
The box has the all-black 18+ Icons design, with a red bottom border to match the colour scheme one of Formula One’s most iconic teams.
Inside are seven numbered paper bags, an instruction manual, a sticker sheet, and the four tyres loose in the box.
There are quite a lot of stickers, although they do have a delightfully early-2000s vibe to them!
As an 18+ set, the instructions have lovely details on the background of Michael Schumacher and the F2004, along with the design process of the model.
Build Process
Bag 1 builds the minifigure stand and starts work on the central chassis of the car.
Bag 2 adds the interior engine detail and the rear wheel struts.
Bag 3 adds the front wheel struts and the front wing, which used quite a lot of stickers!
Bag 4 adds the sidepods and more of the bodywork around the cockpit.
Bag 5 adds the rear wing and surrounding bodywork.
Bag 6 adds the engine cover and the wheels, completing the car.
Finally, bag 7 adds the display stand. On the whole, it was a pretty detailed build that came together quite enjoyably.
Minifigures
Only one minifigure is included, Michael Schumacher himself, but this figure looks great – with lovely printed details on the torso, legs, and helmet. The face print looks like him too!
Completed Model
Schumacher comes with a white minifigure stand that has a stickered 4×4 tile – with a fitting quote about how one should always keep fighting.
The back is a little bit messier with exposed studs, but overall the shaping isn’t too bad.
The design of the minifigure stand is the exact same as the previous two Icons F1 cars’ accompanying stands, so they look great side-by-side – I’m glad LEGO didn’t switch it up unnecessarily.
Moving on to the main build, the Ferrari F2004 looks absolutely stunning in LEGO form. The proportions and shaping are accurate to the real-world car, and the colour combination is gorgeous (it’s a Ferrari, for crying out loud).
The front view is pretty tidy – although the shaping is somewhat boxy, there are nice protruding elements along the front wing and rear bodywork to provide some visual interest. The front openings of the sidepods are also particularly good-looking from this angle.
The rear view is less visually interesting, but it’s tidy and I like the rear light.
The side views of the model is stunning, showing off the curving bodywork and gorgeous new wheels. These wheel pieces have both the tyre and the wheel as one piece, along with moulded grooves and printed Bridgestone/Potenza wording. All four wheels use the same piece – unlike some other F1 car models which have thicker rear tyres – but that is not an issue here as the F2004’s rear tyres were only marginally thicker than the fronts.
There is a small inaccuracy with the tyres, where the Bridgestone directional arrows aren’t quite accurate on one side. Thanks to RacingBrick for the heads up on this!
The front nose is probably one of the best sections of the model – the wing looks suitably complex with various angles and sponsor stickers, and the smooth tapering curve from the front to cockpit looks great.
The cockpit itself has more lovely smooth shaping surrounding it, along with a driver’s seat with stickered seatbelts, a steering wheel, and a bright red headrest under the airbox.
The steering wheel has a lovely printed 1×1 tile with the Prancing Horse on it, and is linked to the front wheels so it turns side-to-side in synchrony.
The shaping towards the rear is also fairly intricate despite some of it being less visible due to the mostly red colour scheme.
The rear engine cover is actually detachable to reveal more engine detail underneath – this was also present on the other Icons F1 cars so it is no surprise it is present here too.
The engine is intricately designed, with lots of brick-built detail supplemented by a pair of Ferrari stickers. It’s a great use of space and I like how the surrounding bodywork still looks neat – even integrating in a pair of Italian flags!
Although the rear wing and engine cover are shaped nicely, the plain white stands in pretty stark contrast to the rest of the sponsor-covered model. That’s because the Marlboro logos have been removed (as they were on 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna as well). This is common for F1 merchandise/toys and is absolutely understandable, but it does leave the livery feeling slightly lacking.
The final build is this grey stand with a stickered plaque to hold up the model – it’s basically the exact same design as the ones included with the other two F1 Icons sets, so it’s nothing new.
You can display the model facing left or right (as it connects to the stand with a pair of Technic pins), but the finished effect looks good and shows off more the model at this angle.
Comparisons
At an identical scale with the same design for the model stand and minifigure stands, this F2004 is perfect when displayed alongside its other Icons counterparts.
It’s been interesting to see how the models have evolved over time, but I think the F2004 is my favourite of the three. It just feels like the most detailed and aesthetically pleasing of the trio, certainly benefitting from the time the designers have spent working at this scale over the past few years.
Here’s one more side-by-side for good measure.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I am impressed by 11375 Ferrari F2004 & Michael Schumacher. The legendary Ferrari F2004 model is delightfully high quality, with a great level of detail and a stunning design.
The Michael Schumacher minifigure is also excellent, definitely the best F1 legend minifigure we’ve gotten so far.
Given the long legacy of LEGO’s partnership with Ferrari and how many devoted fans the Prancing Horse has, this is really the perfect set for racing fans to commemorate a truly iconic driver/car pairing. My only real gripe is the price – it’s taken a US$10 increase over the other Icons F1 cars to a US$90 USD, which definitely feels a little expensive for the size and piece count of the final model, especially when you compare it to 10353 Williams Racing FW14B & Nigel Mansell and 10330 McLaren MP4/4 & Ayrton Senna which can be often found on sale.
Build
The F2004 is absolutely gorgeous, and is loaded inside and out with lovely details.
Minifigures
It is just one minifigure in a $90 set, but the Schumacher minifigure is well-designed and is really all this set needs.
Real Value
The price point is starting to feel a little steep for these Icons cars at $90.
Innovation
The model is pretty detailed and has some nice build techniques used.
Keepability
Few things are more iconic than a Ferrari F1 car, and Michael Schumacher’s F2004 is one of the most iconic cars in the lineup.
