Formula 1 will feature a unique spectacle at the British Grand Prix on July 2, 2026, as all 22 drivers will navigate the Silverstone track in their own drivable LEGO minicars. This activation, a collaboration with the LEGO Group, expands upon a similar event from the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, where only 10 drivers participated in shared vehicles. Each minicar, weighing about 280kg and made from over 28,000 LEGO bricks, showcases unique designs corresponding to their teams' 2026 liveries. The vehicles will have a maximum speed of 25 km/h. The event will transform the traditional Drivers’ Parade into a surreal racing experience before the main race of the weekend.
