LEGO City set 60442, F1 Driver with McLaren Race Car, represents a McLaren racing car with its driver. Released in 2025, it belongs to the City theme and contains 86 pieces, with 1 minifigure connected to motor racing.

This set brings a McLaren racing car into the LEGO City theme, focusing on a compact motorsport subject rather than a large display model. The car is suited to race scenes, pit area settings or a City layout where a dedicated competition vehicle adds variety.

It is suitable for play, display or collection within a wider LEGO City vehicle lineup. Among City sets, it fits with specialised vehicles and can be placed alongside roads, garages or racing scenes. Its McLaren subject also makes it relevant for builders who focus on licensed cars.
