LEGO F1 Cars Took Over the Miami Grand Prix

LEGO and Formula 1 just pulled off something you’d have to see to believe. At the Miami Grand Prix, they revealed ten full-size F1 cars built entirely from LEGO bricks. Not miniature replicas. We’re talking full-scale machines, built in each team's official livery, rolling on real Pirelli tires, powered by electric motors, and driven around the actual circuit during the drivers’ parade.

Each car used around 400,000 standard LEGO bricks and took a team of 26 builders more than 22,000 hours to complete. Despite being made from tiny plastic pieces, the final products were functional and weighed in at nearly twice the weight of a real F1 car. Underneath all that LEGO is a metal frame to hold everything together, along with electric drivetrains to make them move. Even the steering wheels were built out of LEGO.

This wasn’t just a display of creative engineering. It was a high-impact brand move from both LEGO and F1, tapping into the growing crossover between racing fans and adult LEGO enthusiasts. With Formula 1’s audience expanding rapidly—thanks in part to shows like Drive to Survive—this collaboration hits at the intersection of speed, spectacle, and imagination.

What makes this project even more impressive is how LEGO continues to evolve far beyond its roots as a kids’ toy brand. The company’s fastest-growing customer base is now adults, and these life-sized cars showcase just how far you can go with vision, innovation, and, apparently, a lot of bricks.

The Miami Grand Prix already had its share of glitz and energy, but these LEGO F1 cars stole the show. It was a celebration of creativity, engineering, and fan culture in one unexpected package.

If building dream cars out of plastic bricks sounds like fun, imagine actually driving one around a Grand Prix circuit. Now that’s how you turn heads.

Would you drive one, or just display it in your garage like a work of art?
