Ahead of Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Formula 1 drivers take part in a track parade using Lego-built vehicles. Multiple outlets report that drivers will ride Lego go-karts or minicars during the event in a session set around the drivers’ parade before the race. The Lego vehicles are described as being made from tens of thousands of Lego bricks, with one report specifying roughly 28,000 bricks used in the construction.
Other coverage says there will be a set of 22 Lego minicars for the drivers, which they will drive around the circuit during the pre-race showcase. While the activities are characterized as spectacle-oriented, coverage also notes that the demonstration is likely to be chaotic due to the novelty of the vehicles and the nature of a parade format.
All sources agree on the timing (this weekend ahead of the British Grand Prix), the location (Silverstone), and the core concept: F1 drivers briefly switch from race cars to Lego-made go-karts or minicars for the parade.
