LEGO and Formula 1 has collaborated for a long time, and after the successful launch of the LEGO helmets of Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, and of McLaren drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, they are now extending the idea to Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna.

Courtesy of Brick Built Blog, the first images of the LEGO Editions set, Ayrton Senna helmet, have leaked before its launch on September 1. It will have 931 pieces and will cost $89.99, and will come with a cute minifigure of the Brazilian F1 champion, one of the best drivers in the world who tragically died in a F1 accident when he was 34.

The LEGO version is a replica of the yellow helmet Senna wore between 1988 and 1992 with McLaren-Honda, including some details of the advertisements in the helmet, like Boss or Nacional (but not Marlboro, as a cigarettes brand would not feel right in a LEGO product...).
