Lewis Hamilton did not go through with his threat to skip the ‘LEGO race’ as the grid’s stars enjoyed another chaotic pre-race event at the British Grand Prix.

The 41-year-old cast doubt over whether he would take part in the event during Thursday’s press conference, branding it “the most dangerous part of the weekend” after a previous LEGO ‘race’ in Miami last season.
