Lego F1 Cars Parade, Piastri Wins Miami Grand Prix

At the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri secured victory, while fans were treated to a unique parade featuring 10 fully drivable, life-sized Lego F1 car replicas, each representing a current team. The replicas were constructed at Lego’s Kladno factory in the Czech Republic by 26 designers and engineers, using around 400,000 bricks per car and weighing 1,000-1,500 kg each. These Lego cars, powered by electric motors, replaced the traditional drivers' parade truck, with stars like Lewis Hamilton, Max Verstappen, and Lando Norris taking part. The parade was marked by playful antics and minor collisions, which left some Lego debris on the circuit, though drivers praised the event as especially enjoyable. The initiative is part of a multi-year partnership between Lego and F1 to boost fan engagement and creativity. The spectacle highlighted F1’s efforts to appeal to American audiences and blend entertainment with motorsport innovation.
