Lego has announced that the iconic 2025 Miami Grand Prix drivers' parade is coming back, with a fresh twist at Silverstone!
Back in 2025, Lego created 10 life-sized cars which the drivers turned into something of a demolition derby in Miami, but for the British Grand Prix this weekend, all 22 drivers are going to be armed with their own fully-driveable minicar, capable of speeds up to 25mph.
Each car consists of over 28,000 bricks, with a total of over 6400 hours spent creating the 'machines', which weigh around 280kg each, with 65kg of this being Lego bricks, designed in the Lego factory in the Czech Republic.
"We always listen to our fans, and it was clear from the 2025 Miami Grand Prix Drivers Parade that both fans and drivers wanted more," explained Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the Lego Group.
"We’re back with a 2.0 version in a brand-new format, bringing even more fun and excitement to the parade."
F1's chief commercial officer, Emily Prazer, added: "Last year, the F1 Lego 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.
"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."
