\n

Well this is most excellent news: after delivering the most memorable lap of the entire F1 season<\/a> in Miami last year, Lego is once again providing the machinery for the pre-race drivers\u2019 parade, this time ahead of the British Grand Prix on Sunday. Woo hoo!<\/p>\n

Only Lego has taken its Miami idea and made it\u2026 more. No twin-seaters this time, all 22 drivers will get their own minicar comprising 28,000 bricks and a combined 6,400 hours of painstaking assembly. Cor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The cars weigh around 280kg apiece, with 64 of those kilos being Lego bricks and the rest \u2013 including standard go-kart tyres \u2013 parts to make the things actually, y\u2019know, move.<\/p>\n

And boy do they move. At up to 15.5mph, with just enough juice to complete one flying lap of Silverstone\u2019s 3.66-mile circuit. So basically on par with this year\u2019s Aston, then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“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,\u201d said Julia Goldin, chief product and marketing officer of the LEGO Group. \u201cWe\u2019re back with a 2.0 version in a brand-new format, bringing even more fun and excitement to the parade.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cars were put together by a crack team of 20 designers at the same factory in Kladno, Czech Republic where the Miami cars were assembled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Those contained 400,000 <\/em>bricks each, and the drivers still drove them like heavily sponsored dodgems\u2026 so we can\u2019t imagine they\u2019ll be driving these with any more care and attention.<\/p>\n

Perfect. Bring it on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
