LEGO has officially revealed 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet, a new LEGO Editions release that turns one of Formula 1’s biggest names into a compact display model. The set is aimed at builders aged 14+ and includes 884 pieces, a Lewis Hamilton minifigure in Ferrari red and a signature display plaque. Official pricing is $89.99 / £79.99, with a listed release date of May 1, 2026. Rather than focusing on a full Ferrari car, LEGO is presenting Hamilton’s identity through a driver-led collectible format, with a bright yellow helmet design that references one of his most recognizable visual signatures and gives the set a noticeably different personality from the Charles Leclerc version.
43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet feels like LEGO’s attempt to make Formula 1 fandom more personal. Instead of asking fans to choose only between team cars or generic racing themes, this set gives Lewis Hamilton supporters a dedicated display piece built around the driver himself. That is a smart direction for the LEGO Editions range, because it makes the product feel closer to premium memorabilia than standard motorsport merchandising.
What LEGO 43022 includes
LEGO confirms that the set contains 884 pieces and is designed for builders aged 14 and up. The finished model measures over 18 cm high, 11 cm wide and 13 cm deep, putting it in the same general display bracket as the Charles Leclerc helmet while keeping the shelf footprint relatively manageable.
The official product listing also confirms three key extras that help frame the model as a collector piece rather than a simple helmet shell:
- a brick-built replica of Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari helmet
- a Lewis Hamilton minifigure in his red Scuderia Ferrari HP racing suit
- a display plaque with Hamilton’s signature
That mix gives 43022 a polished presentation right out of the box. LEGO is clearly pushing it as display decor first, and the extra minifigure and plaque help sell the idea that this is a tribute-style product aimed at dedicated Formula 1 fans.
What makes the Hamilton version distinct
The most obvious difference is color. LEGO says the model is inspired by Lewis Hamilton’s Formula 1 helmets over the years and uses Ferrari’s iconic Modena yellow as its dominant visual signal. That immediately separates it from the Leclerc helmet and gives the set a stronger contrast on display, especially for collectors considering both releases together.
LEGO also highlights printed decorations and Hamilton’s unique driver number, which should help the model feel specific rather than generic. In a helmet display line, those small identity markers matter a lot. Without them, the build risks becoming a nice red-and-yellow object. With them, it becomes recognizably Hamilton.
That is also why this set arguably has a slightly different emotional hook than 43014. Charles Leclerc’s version leans into Ferrari heritage through Rosso Corsa red, while Hamilton’s draws more attention to his long-established personal helmet language. As a pair, they work well together. As a standalone item, 43022 may end up being the more visually distinctive of the two.
Release date, price and main specs
Here are the key official details LEGO has shared so far:
- Set name: Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet
- Set number: 43022
- Theme: LEGO Editions
- Age recommendation: 14+
- Pieces: 884
- Price: $89.99 / £79.99
- Release date: May 1, 2026
- Included extras: Lewis Hamilton minifigure and signature plaque
- Dimensions: 18 cm high, 11 cm wide, 13 cm deep
At this level, LEGO is not treating the set as an impulse toy. It is priced as a compact premium display release, which makes sense given the license, the target audience and the memorabilia-style packaging of the concept. For Hamilton fans, the dedicated driver angle probably matters more here than raw piece count.
How it compares with 43014 Charles Leclerc Helmet
If you are deciding between the two Ferrari helmet sets, the core build proposition is very similar. Both are compact display models with minifigures, signature plaques and near-identical dimensions. The real difference comes down to visual identity and personal preference.
43014 Charles Leclerc Helmet feels more rooted in Ferrari’s classic red branding, while 43022 Lewis Hamilton Helmet stands out through its yellow-heavy look and its stronger association with Hamilton’s long-running personal race-day identity.

For collectors, that is actually good news. LEGO has not simply duplicated one build with a tiny graphic swap. The two helmets are clearly related, but each one should bring a different visual energy to a display shelf.
First takeaway on LEGO 43022 Lewis Hamilton Helmet
LEGO 43022 Scuderia Ferrari HP Lewis Hamilton Helmet looks like a smart extension of LEGO’s Formula 1 portfolio. It is compact, driver-specific and visually clear about what it wants to be: a collectible display object for Hamilton and Ferrari fans rather than a general racing model.
If the finished build lives up to the official images, 43022 could end up being one of the more eye-catching LEGO F1 releases in this price range. It is not the biggest Formula 1 set on the market, but it may be one of the easiest to place on a shelf and one of the most personal in the way it represents a specific driver.
