Overview

• The drivers’ parade at the Miami International Autodrome replaced traditional flatbed trucks with fully drivable, life-sized Lego F1 cars.
• Each car was constructed using nearly 400,000 Lego bricks, weighed approximately 1,000 kg, and featured authentic Pirelli tires, hydraulic brakes, and real F1 steering wheels.
• A team of 26 Lego engineers and designers spent eight months and 22,000 hours building the 10 cars at Lego’s Kladno factory in the Czech Republic.
• The Lego cars, based on the Speed Champions series, are part of a multi-year partnership between Lego and Formula 1 announced in September 2024.
• Fans and drivers alike praised the activation, with Lewis Hamilton calling it the “most fun drivers’ parade” and Max Verstappen joking about Lego debris on the track.
