Year Released
Released in 2024. This figure debuted as part of the McLaren Formula 1 Race Car set, reflecting the modern shift toward higher-detail driver suits in the Speed Champions line.
Rarity
Uncommon. While the set is currently available, this specific torso and leg print are exclusive to this driver, making it desirable for racing enthusiasts. The figure in the image is currently incomplete (missing head and hair/helmet).
Head
Incomplete. The official minifigure (sc114) features a light flesh head with a determined expression, eyebrows, and a slight smirk. It also includes both a black hair piece and a white racing helmet with a trans-black visor.
Torso
Dark bluish gray torso with the McLaren Formula 1 team livery. It features dual-printed shoulder straps in white, orange piping, and the McLaren 'Speedmark' logo on the left chest. The arms are dark bluish gray with black hands.
Legs
Dark bluish gray legs with detailed printing matching the driver's fire suit. It includes orange diagonal stripes on the thighs and white honeycomb/hexagonal patterns on the shins, representing aerodynamic or protective fabric textures.
Accessories
Missing. The complete figure should include a black wrench, a white racing helmet with visor, and an alternate hair piece.
Color Scheme
The primary colors are Dark Bluish Gray, accented by McLaren's signature 'Papaya' Orange and White details. Hands and belt-line printing are Black.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The white ink over the dark gray plastic is opaque and crisp. The alignment between the torso and the hip/leg print is well-executed, common for modern Speed Champions releases.
Variants
This is the 2024 version. Previous McLaren drivers (like sc094 from 2022) featured different sponsorship layouts and colors based on that year's specific car livery.
Condition Notes
The torso shows some light scuffing on the center chest. Collectors should check the 'arm pits' for hairline cracks and the leg-to-hip friction to ensure high clutch power.
Estimated Value
A complete sc114 is worth approximately $4.00 - $6.00 USD. This incomplete version (Torso/Legs/Arms only) is valued at approximately $2.00 - $3.00 USD.
Price (New)
This figure comes in set 76919 '2023 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car' which retails for $26.99 USD.

Character Background
This represents a generic or semi-anonymous driver for the McLaren Formula 1 Team, though modeled after the gear worn by drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri during the 2023/2024 seasons.
Design Notes
The design emphasizes the 'Honeycomb' print on the legs, a relatively new detail for Speed Champions that adds a layer of realism to the suit's texture compared to older, flatter designs.
Similar Minifigures
sc092 (Mercedes AMG Driver), sc094 (McLaren F1 Driver 2022), and sc110 (Aston Martin F1 Driver).
Collectibility
High for F1 fans and Speed Champions completionists. Racing figures often hold their value well after the cars are retired and licenses expire.
History
Speed Champions transitioned from 6-stud wide cars to 8-stud wide cars in 2020, which saw a massive upgrade in minifigure print detail to match the more realistic vehicles.
Interesting Facts
The orange used is specifically chosen to represent 'McLaren Papaya,' a color heritage that dates back to Bruce McLaren's racing days in the 1960s.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside the cockpit of the 76919 McLaren F1 car or on a custom 'starting grid' baseplate alongside the Mercedes and Ferrari F1 minifigures.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs (My Own Creations). The dark gray and orange suit is popular for sci-fi or futuristic pilot customs due to the technical look of the honeycomb printing.
Overall Assessment
This is a 100% authentic LEGO component from a modern Speed Champions set. Despite missing the head and accessories, the torso and legs are in good condition and represent one of the more detailed racing suits LEGO has produced.
