Ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend, Formula 1 drivers take part in a revamped Drivers’ Parade that features drivable Lego vehicles. Multiple outlets report that 22 Lego minicars are used in the pre-race show, replacing the usual parade vehicles. The cars are built from Lego bricks and are designed to be driven by the drivers along the circuit during the event.
According to reports, the Lego minicars are part of a concept introduced previously, with outlets noting a similar approach used in Miami last year that drew attention from drivers and fans. During the parade, the vehicles are expected to produce an informal and lively atmosphere, with participants treating the laps as a playful preview rather than a competitive race. One report specifies that the go-karts are made using about 28,000 Lego bricks.
The Lego show is presented as a tie-in between Formula 1 and the Lego Group, transforming the traditional parade into a brief, drivable spectacle ahead of Sunday’s race.
