Sunday\u2019s British Grand Prix risks making Formula 1 drivers look like \u201ckids and clowns\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Four-time world champion Verstappen has joined fellow top drivers such as Lewis Hamilton in criticising F1\u2019s decision to put drivers in Lego cars ahead of the race at Silverstone.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At most grands prix, drivers will wave to the crowd and conduct TV interviews during a lap of the circuit on a flatbed truck, but at Silverstone, every driver has a Lego minicar, made out of 28,000 bricks, to drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure> <source
