Lego built full-size F1 cars for the Miami GP drivers' parade

a year ago

Formula One's 2025 Miami Grand Prix featured a unique driver parade with full-size, drivable F1 cars built entirely from Lego.
The Lego F1 cars were a result of a year-long collaboration between F1 and Lego, requiring over 400,000 bricks per car and weighing about a ton each.
Each car was built around a steel frame for sturdiness and featured accurate details, including team liveries and sponsor logos.
The project involved 26 designers and engineers, with cars constructed in Lego's 'big builds' factory in Kladno, Czechia.
The Lego cars were fully drivable, equipped with electric powertrains, steering, brakes, and modified cockpits to fit two drivers per team.
The cars were tested in an underground car park before being shipped to Miami, where they were showcased in a special Lego garage.
The driver parade was a surprise for fans, with the cars driven around the track, leaving Lego debris and creating a memorable event.
The project was a dream come true for the designers, combining their passion for Lego and F1, and was praised by drivers like Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
