Gear up for high-speed action at the Formula 1 Ferrari pit stop! Rally the pit crew and call in the Ferrari driver for a lightning-speed service. Check the engine, release the fresh slicks and spin those wheel guns for a turbocharged tire change. Then, blast out of the pit and back into the race for a record-breaking lap! Get ready for awesome Formula 1 pit stop adventures in LEGO City!
The box cover shows the pit stop in full action. The fire red Ferrari Formula 1 car is parked in the pit box at the side of the race track, nose to the left. The vehicle's tires are smoking! It has either just arrived in the box, and the tires are smoking from racing at top speeds, or it's about to take off and rejoin the race. Either way, there is no high-speed place like a Formula 1 race! Further proof of this are the many faded skid marks around the pit stop. Vehicles only know one speed on the F1 racing tracks: full speed! There are yellow road markings on the asphalt, indicating the main area of the pit box. The pit box itself is in the Ferrari colors: bright red and black. The parking area is slightly elevated so that the mechanics have better access to the car when changing tires or repairing the car. There is a wheel rack with 2 holders at the front for quick tire changes; it holds 4 spare tires in total. One mechanic is in the process of fetching a tire from the tire changer, wheel gun at the ready. Another mechanic is hoisting a tire at the rear end of the car. The other two mechanics are located at the car front, overseeing the situation. The driver is in the driver's seat, protected by the so-called halo, the crash-protection bar. He's waving happily, it seems like things are going well! The U-shaped gantry is hovering above the car. It holds all kinds of hoses and cables in place, making sure nothing gets in the way of the car or the mechanics. There are lots of monitors facing the pit box, showing data, statistics and all kinds of race-relevant numbers. The action-packed box cover has plenty of other details for you, but let's find those out while building. Let's get started!
Open the box. It contains 2 booklets with visual building instructions, 3 numbered bags, 1 sheet with 8 stickers, and 1 loose piece: 1 plate 8x16x⅔ with 7 cutouts. We will refer to the bag numbers to guide you through the building process. Please ask a sighted person to help you identify the correct bags!
The sticker sheet has 8 stickers. Some of them have identical shapes, so if you would like to find and attach the stickers yourself, put the sticker sheet vertically in front of you. Try to feel the outlines of the stickers and search for the 2 largest stickers in the set (they are 2 identical stickers 3x4 that are directly next to each other). Turn the sheet so that these 2 stickers are on the left edge in the back corner. You can also ask a sighted person to orientate the sticker sheet such that the bold red line is on the left edge. Alternatively, you can ask a sighted person for help whenever you are asked to attach a sticker, or you can also simply skip attaching stickers for now if you prefer.
Carefully open bag number 1 and any small sub-bags in it. This bag contains all bricks and pieces for the Ferrari Driver Minifigure and the Ferrari Car.
If you like, you can ask a sighted person to sort the pieces by color before you start building. We recommend using trays or bowls. This can make finding the correct pieces easier! However, if you would like to build without brick colors entirely, you can also ignore them or turn them off. There are different ways to sort and organize the bricks and your building process. It is up to you!
First, we will build the Ferrari Driver Minifigure.

Along the top of the shield, there are three horizontal stripes: green, white, and red. This is a horizontal version of the Italian flag since Ferrari is an Italian brand! This logo will be featured on several items in this set.
Put the helmet on the head, ensuring the visor is facing forward.

Put its 2x2 part on top of the previous piece and the row behind it, making sure that the side plate 1x2 is oriented vertically, its knobs pointing to the left.
The right arm of the pit stop mechanism is finished! Great job! Mount its round plate 4x4 centered on the turntable socket in the right half of the main structure, arm extending towards the right.
Next, we will build the connecting beam of the right arm.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 medium stone grey technic beam 9m,
and 1 white connector peg 1m with knob.
Put the technic beam horizontally on the table, holes running from top to bottom.
Insert the connector peg from the top into the middle hole, its knob protruding towards the top. Counted from either side, it is the fifth hole.
Find 1 black shaft 2m with middle stop.
Insert one end into the previous piece, middle stop with top half protruding to the top.
Find 1 black square sign 2x2 with clasp.
Snap its clasp on the top half of the previous piece, smooth side towards you.
Continue if you want to decorate this piece with a sticker now. If not, skip the next 3 sentences.
Find 1 square sticker 2x2. (This is sticker number 1. On the sticker sheet, it is the backmost sticker of the right column of stickers. If you are unsure, you can ask a sighted person for help.)
Attach the sticker on the smooth surface of the sign 2x2.
This sticker is another blue pit stop monitor. It has a column of six black dots on its left edge. A horizontal graph line starts from each of those dots. The line at the bottom is straight, all the other lines are squiggly and at times cross each other, changing their horizontal positioning. These graph lines might indicate the starting and current positions of the different cars or other relevant data pertaining to the race.
The connecting beam of the right arm is finished! Well done! Put its rightmost hole on the connector peg of the right arm and the leftmost hole on the corresponding connector peg on the middle gantry. Make sure the monitor is facing forward.
Next, we will build the wheel rack.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 beige cross axle 4m with asymmetric stop,
and 1 dark stone grey shaft 2m with hanging cross bushing 1x1.
Hold the shaft with cross bushing so that the shaft is towards the bottom, pointing to the front and back, and the cross bushing is at the top, cross hole running from left to right.
Insert the shorter end of the cross axle from the left into the cross bushing, 3/4 protruding to the left.
Put this part aside for now.
Find another beige cross axle 4m with asymmetric stop and another dark stone grey shaft 2m with hanging cross bushing 1x1.
Hold the shaft element like before: the shaft part at the bottom, pointing to the front and back, and the cross bushing at the top, cross hole running from left to right.
This time, insert the short end of the cross axle from the right into the cross bushing, 3/4 protruding to the right.
Now, snap the shaft of the piece you have just built into the 2 right clasps on the base of the wheel rack, cross axle pointing to the right.
Repeat symmetrically on the left, cross axle pointing to the left.
Next, we will assemble 4 spare wheels.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 black high-gloss racing tire with low profile,
and 1 black round tile 2x2 with middle hole.
Put the round tile on one side of the tire. Like before, if you cannot attach it to one side of the wheel, try attaching it to the wheel's other side surface.
Find another 3 black high-gloss racing tires with low profile and another 3 black round tiles 2x2 with middle hole.
Assemble the 3 remaining wheels like the first one.
The 4 spare wheels are finished! Fold the cross axles of the wheel rack up and put 2 wheels on the left wheel rack and the other 2 on the right wheel rack. Fold the cross axles down again to lock the wheels in place.
Now it's time to get your crew in position: put 1 pit crew member with wheel gun on the right arm of the pit stop mechanism. You can secure the back of the Minifigure legs on the 2 side knobs pointing to the left that are located on the right end of the right arm.
Mount the other pit crew member with wheel gun symmetrically on the left arm.
Place the 2 remaining crew members to the left and right of the middle gantry. Their wheel guns are waiting for them in the holders at the front edge of the middle gantry.
The Pit Box is finished! Well done! And with this, you have finished building the entire set! Fantastic job! Now, all you need to do is wait for the car to enter the pit box. Once it has arrived, pull on the lever at the back to swing the 2 side arms in front of and behind the car and lock the car in place. All members of the pit crew can simultaneously start working on the car. Don't forget to start the pit stop timer! And as soon as everything is done, push the lever to the front again to swing the side arms out and make way for the car to continue the race.
