The LEGO Group and Formula 1 have unveiled 22 single-seater vehicles, each representing one of the teams on the 2026 grid. Built from more than 28,000 LEGO bricks, the minicars can reach speeds of up to 25km/h (15.5mph). It marks the first time every driver will have their own LEGO vehicle for the traditional pre-race parade. The announcement follows the debut of 10 larger LEGO cars at the Miami Grand Prix drivers' parade in 2025. Those vehicles, inspired by the LEGO Formula 1 Speed Champions range, proved a popular attraction as drivers completed a lap of the circuit in the brick-built cars. The new minicars have been designed to reflect each team's 2026 livery, complete with team logos, colours and driver numbers, while retaining a distinctive LEGO appearance. "We always listen to our fans, and it was clear from the 2025 Miami Grand Prix Drivers Parade that both fans and drivers wanted more,” said Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the LEGO Group. “We’re back with a 2.0 version in a brand-new format, bringing even more fun and excitement to the parade.” Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer at Formula 1, said: “Last year the F1 LEGO Drivers' Parade in Miami with the LEGO big build cars was one of the most memorable and talked-about moments of the season, capturing the imagination of fans around the world and showing a different side of the sport. This year, we’re building on that moment to create an incredible spectacle for fans attending the British Grand Prix and those watching globally. There is something truly special about bringing together the worlds of Formula 1 and LEGO play, combining innovation, creativity, and entertainment in a way that can inspire and excite fans of all ages." The vehicles were created by a team of 20 designers, engineers and LEGO builders at the company's factory in Kladno, Czech Republic. The project took more than 6,400 hours to complete. The drivers' parade will take place before the Formula 1 Pirelli British Grand Prix on Sunday.
