Drivers will take to cars made of LEGO and step on it before British Grand Prix

Formula One drivers will take to Silverstone for this weekend’s pre-race parade in individual LEGO minicars.

Building on the success of Miami in 2025, where the drivers shared a big-build car per team and hilariously raced each other during the parade, this weekend will see 22 fully-driveable cars each made out of 28,000 LEGO bricks.

The parade takes place around 90 minutes before lights out and fans can expect the drivers to take each other on again, with their mini vehicles capable of reaching up to 15 miles an hour.

Emily Prazer, chief commercial officer at Formula One, said: “Last year’s F1 Drivers’ 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.

“This year, we’re building on that moment to create an incredible spectacle for fans attending the British Grand Prix and those watching globally.”
