PREVIEW

Full size LEGO Formula 1 cars stole the show at the Miami Grand Prix by featuring in the Driver's Parade. Each team's drivers shared one of 10 fully drivable LEGO-built F1 cars, each representing a team on the grid. The drivers took their LEGO cars on a lap around the circuit - with some even getting their competitive juices going by racing each other. These meticulously crafted Big Builds were constructed over 22,000 hours by a team of 26 designers, engineers and builders at the LEGO Group's facility in Kladno, Czech Republic. Each near life-size car, built from nearly 400,000 LEGO bricks, weighs around 1,500kg and can reach speeds of up to 20 km/h. The models faithfully replicate the design of real Formula 1 cars, complete with sponsor branding and authentic Pirelli tyres. The vehicles were inspired by the LEGO F1 Speed Champions range, launched last year, and form part of an ongoing, multi-year partnership aimed at bringing families closer to the sport. Following the Miami Grand Prix, all 10 LEGO Big Builds will embark on a global tour, making appearances at races and key moments on the F1 calendar.
