Formula 1 drivers will once again take to the track in Lego cars following the success of last year\u2019s parade lap in Miami, with all 22 drivers set to receive their own mini car for the British Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

The fleet was built by a team of 20 designers and engineers at Lego\u2019s factory in the Czech Republic, with more than 6,400 hours required to complete the 28,000-brick minicars. Each is capable of reaching speeds of up to 25km\/h.<\/p>\n
Equipped with standard go-kart wheels, each minicar weighs 280kg, with around 65kg of that total made up of Lego bricks.<\/p>\n
The Miami Grand Prix drivers\u2019 parade in 2025 went viral after Lego produced 1:1-scale replicas of each team\u2019s Formula 1 car. A field of 10 cars, with two drivers sharing each one, created a hilariously competitive parade lap, with Lego pieces flying everywhere as the drivers bumped into one another.<\/p>\n
Formula 1 Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer said: “Last year\u2019s F1 drivers\u2019 parade in Miami with the Lego big build cars was one of the most memorable and talked-about moments of the season, capturing the imagination of fans around the world and showing a different side of the sport.<\/p>\n

“This year, we\u2019re building on that moment to create an incredible spectacle for fans attending the British Grand Prix and those watching globally. There is something truly special about bringing together the worlds of Formula 1 and Lego play, combining innovation, creativity, and entertainment in a way that can inspire and excite fans of all ages.”<\/p>\n

Lego Group Chief Product and Marketing Officer Julia Goldin added that it was an obvious decision to repeat the activation following the overwhelming success of the Miami parade lap.<\/p>\n
“The excitement from drivers and fans alike at last years’ Miami Drivers Parade, was impossible to ignore. Fans and drivers alike asked \u2013 so now we are delivering,” said Goldin.<\/p>\n

“We wanted to go even bigger than last year and ensure we continue to surprise and delight our fans. We can’t wait to see what the drivers do when they get these minicars on track.”<\/p>\n
While the general reception has been overwhelmingly positive, seven-time world champion and nine-time British Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton has reportedly expressed reservations about participating in the pre-race spectacle.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media ahead of the event at Silverstone, Hamilton said: “it is the most dangerous part of the weekend.”<\/p>\n
“I let Charles drive last time and it was just hilarious watching everyone crashing into each other. So, I don’t know whether or not I will be in the Lego car this year.”<\/p>\n

Reigning world champion Lando Norris, meanwhile, offered a more enthusiastic perspective.<\/p>\n
“I’m pretty excited for it, actually!”<\/p>\n
“If it’s like Miami, of course, then I think whoever can make it back to the start line will be a winner already,” Norris added.<\/p>\n
“So, I think it’s a cool thing to do. It’s different. It’s nice to, obviously when you’re all together and you can have a little chitchat and see the fans when you’re on the truck.<\/p>\n
“But I think it’s nice to do something different every now and then. So as long as it’s safe and we all behave, which we shall, then it will be a jolly good ride.”<\/p>\n

The parade lap will take place 90 minutes before the start of the British Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
