Every angle of the LEGO Formula 1 Drivers’ Parade in Miami
The Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix saw all 10 teams take to the track in life-sized LEGO F1 cars – an event that was documented from every angle.
In what might be the single best piece of LEGO marketing ever, the 20 current Formula 1 drivers took to the Miami track for the Drivers’ Parade in life-sized LEGO cars, seated two to a car. In true Formula 1 driver style, battles quickly broke out to take places from one another – all in good fun, of course.
Catch up on the mayhem and fun in a breakdown of every angle of the brick-built lap.
Taking their places on the grid
The LEGO Formula 1 drivers looked unanimously excited at the prospect of driving LEGO cars, with one for every team. The cars, unlike their real-life counterparts, can fit two passengers, one driver and one passenger. The passengers for each team largely spent their time filming the race, which gave us a lot of the footage we’ve rounded up below.
Before the parade could get under way, the drivers needed to fight it out about who would drive, however.
Now that the drivers aren’t in the cars that will send them hurtling at breakneck speeds, World Champion Max Verstappen seized the opportunity to mess with the McLaren in a way he’s normally not allowed to.
The Ferrari drivers hadn’t been in the car for long before they immediately started quizzing people about how to get more power from the car. Considering Ferrari’s lack of pace in the real cars so far in 2025, it’s perhaps no surprise that both Charlec Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were keen to get as much as they could out of the brick-built one.
On board LEGO Formula 1 cars
As we mentioned before, some of the best footage of the race comes from the drivers themselves. Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton got some of the best footage, documenting some definitely illegal overtakes between McLaren and Ferrari, as well as some off-track manoeuvres from Mercedes.
You can see more of Mercedes’ various crashes and collisions with other cars from Kimi Antonelli’s perspective in the second video, while Red Bull and VCARB teamed up to sandwich what looks like the Aston Martin between them, causing LEGO bricks to go flying.
The aftermath
Safe to say, it was not a clean race, with several collisions sending bricks and LEGO pieces onto the track. In an interview afterwards, Verstappen told Sky F1 that there was ‘quite a bit of LEGO debris on the road now’.
“I think they need to sweep the track,” he joked. “There’s quite a bit of LEGO debris on the road now. A few cars collided along the way. It’s a bit different, that’s for sure. Ours is a bit slow on top speed, so we slowly dropped back throughout the lap, but it’s more important to actually clean the track at the moment.”
You can see what was left of the cars after their ordeal in the TikTok below, with large sections of some of the cars left behind on the Miami track.
