The LEGO F1 drivers’ parade returns for the British Grand Prix

Excitement Builds for the 2025 Miami Grand Prix

As the 2025 Miami Grand Prix approaches, there’s a moment that has resonated not just with F1 fans but also with the drivers themselves.

This year, the Lego drivers parade is set to return.

Ten two-seater F1 cars, primarily constructed from Lego blocks, were staged on the grid, one for each team. What ensued was delightful chaos, and Williams driver Alexander Albon relished the experience. “It was so much fun!” he remarked in a post-race interview last season.

Albon noted, “Before the race, we’re focused and in the zone. So seeing these Lego cars lined up was a nice surprise. I’ve loved LEGO since I was a kid; to see them there, well, I was just really eager to jump in and enjoy it, even if it felt a bit like ‘race mode.’”

This week, the British Grand Prix will unfold at the historic Silverstone circuit, and the parade of Lego drivers is back for yet another round.

“Bigger and better than ever,” they say.

This year, there will be 22 single-seater cars, one for each driver. According to Lego, each car comprises over 28,000 bricks and can reach speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour.

“Last year’s F1 Lego Drivers Parade in Miami was one of the highlights of the season, captivating fans globally and showcasing a different angle of the sport,” Emily Prather, F1 Chief Commercial Officer, stated. “This year, we’re building on that excitement to create something truly special for fans attending the British Grand Prix and those watching from afar. There’s magic in merging the worlds of F1 and LEGO, bringing together creativity and fun that can inspire fans of all ages.”

Julia Goldin, LEGO Group Chief Product and Marketing Officer, added, “We’re always listening to our fans, and it was clear from last year’s event that both fans and drivers crave more. We’re back with an upgraded version in a fresh format, promising even more excitement at the parade.”

Each LEGO F1 minicar weighs roughly 280 kilograms, with a hefty 65 kilograms just from the bricks themselves. Standard go-kart wheels support the cars, which were designed and assembled by a team of 20 experts who spent over 6,400 hours bringing all 22 cars to life.

As the weekend approaches, the return of the Lego Drivers Parade is buzzing with anticipation within the paddock.

Cadillac driver Valtteri Bottas shared, “I’m really looking forward to it, especially since I missed it last year while watching in Miami. It seemed like a blast. I guess the key is to manage your distance; we’re all capped at 25 kilometers per hour. I’m excited, planning to save distance and maybe use a tow.”

Another driver, Lindblad, expressed, “I was very excited to hear about the Lego cars. For me, racing is about having fun—doing the most damage, really.”

Lewis Hamilton chimed in with, “This part of the weekend is probably the wildest. Last time, I let Charles [Leclerc] take over, and it was hilarious watching everyone bumping into each other.”

Lando Norris added a fun twist: “In Miami, I think anyone who can get back to the starting line is the real winner. It’s cool, definitely something different. I enjoy the chance to chat and meet fans, but having these unique experiences now and then is refreshing.”
