Drivers amuse British GP crowd with Lego car chaos

Formula One’s British Grand Prix parade lap at Silverstone, England, turned into a Lego-themed spectacle of predictable track “chaos.” On Sunday, 22 drivers drove cars made from more than 28,000 Lego bricks, including Williams’ Carlos Sainz, who beached in gravel at the first corner and later rode with McLaren champion Lando Norris. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem joined the event, while Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso—qualified last for the later race—was first across the line. Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen also took part after Verstappen had previously criticized the stunt. The cars used standard go-kart wheels and reached up to 25 kph (16 mph), carrying teams’ 2026 liveries and driver numbers, built over 6,400 hours in Kladno, Czech Republic.
