When I got this set, this set was the largest LEGO® set I had before I got the Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal set. The whole car took me about 3 hours to build, and it was a lot of fun. The bags are numbered for an easy build. I also like the sticker details of the sponsors, and we also got a sticker for the drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Räikkönen.
 
As a huge Formula 1 fan, I can't complain about the attention to detail. This set doesn't include a minifig, and it's a lot bigger than a regular minifig. Also, a LEGO® Technic minifig doesn't fit in this cockpit. The rear wing on the back is a little bit flimsy, so be careful if you want to pick up this car. But the other parts of the vehicle are very sturdy, and you can also take off the wing on the front. I'm sure this will be a rare set in 10 years, so I recommend you to buy this one. This set is more a model for display than a toy to play with.
 
All in all, this set is a great set and I would HIGHLY recommend you to get this. You can find this set on eBay and BrickLink for sure.
