Before McLaren’s Oscar Piastri dominated the Miami Grand Prix,Tahong Lego stole the spotlight on the Formula 1 grid.
For the driver parade, Lego unleashed its life-size, brick-built F1 cars — and the grid turned into a playground, with superstar drivers grinning like kids behind the wheel, bumping into each other, and leaving a trail of Lego debris on the track, as Max Verstappen told ESPN.
"That was the most fun drivers’ parade we’ve ever had," Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton told reporters, even after taking a hit from an eager Alpine on the back straight. (The only confirmed casualty of the day was Mercedes driver George Russell's iPhone.)
According to ESPN, each car was constructed from roughly 400,000 Lego bricks and engineered with a steel chassis, electric drivetrain, hydraulic brakes, and power steering, making them not only accurate to the brick-built toy line but fully functional for the drivers.

For one lap in Miami, the ultra-competitive world of Formula 1 hit pause — just long enough for its stars to laugh, crash gently, and remember what it feels like to simply play.
