At an impressive scale nearly matching Formula 1 cars, each massive LEGO build consists of about 400,000 bricks and weighs a hefty 1,000 kilograms. These creations can reach speeds of 20 kph and meticulously capture the details of real F1 cars, from sponsor logos to authentic Pirelli tires.
Emily Prazer, the Chief Commercial Officer at Formula 1, expressed her enthusiasm for this unique collaboration. “It’s exciting to see innovation in our sport,” she said. The partnership with the LEGO Group adds a fun twist to the Grand Prix, drawing in new fans and enhancing the race experience.
Julia Goldin, the Chief Product and Marketing Officer at LEGO, echoed this sentiment. “We’re always pushing our limits,” she shared. “This project highlights our collaboration with Formula 1 and its ten teams, showcasing how creativity knows no bounds with LEGO.”
After the Miami event, the ten LEGO builds will embark on a global tour, making stops at future races. Fans can look forward to more interactive experiences that blend the thrill of racing with the joy of building. For details, visit LEGO.com/F1.
