At this year’s British Grand Prix, 22 fully drivable Lego mini cars will take to the track as part of the F1 Drivers’ Parade at Silverstone, turning one of the most familiar moments of the race weekend into a full-scale Lego spectacle.
It’s a really fun collaboration between Formula 1 and the Lego Group, continuing a partnership variation that’s already proven to be a fan favorite. Last year’s Miami Grand Prix saw Lego cars take part in the Drivers’ Parade, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the season. Now, the idea is back — and it’s even bigger this time around.
Each of the 22 Lego minicars are built using more than 28,000 bricks. The Drivers’ Parade takes place about an hour and a half before lights out on Sunday, July 5, and gives fans a chance to see all 22 drivers on track together ahead of the race.
Each Lego minicar is designed in the 2026 Formula 1 team colors and includes individual driver numbers, so fans can easily spot their favorites as they circle the track.
Formula 1 aims to bring a more creative, fan-focused feel to the weekend, adding another layer of entertainment to the race experience.
“Last year’s F1 Drivers’ Parade in Miami with the Lego big build cars was one of the most memorable and talked-about moments of the season,” said Formula 1 Chief Commercial Officer Emily Prazer. “This year, we’re building on that moment to create an incredible spectacle for fans attending the British Grand Prix and those watching globally.”
The Lego Group added that fan reaction in Miami helped bring the idea back for Silverstone — this time on a bigger scale.
