F1 Drivers Split Over 28,000-Brick Lego Parade at British Grand Prix

Summary
The British Grand Prix’s returning Lego Drivers' Parade emerged as Thursday’s most divisive paddock topic, with drivers sharply split over racing miniature F1 cars built from 28,000 bricks each.
Max Verstappen said he would rather have a normal parade, Lewis Hamilton called it potentially “the most dangerous part of the weekend,” while Lance Stroll shrugged it off as just another pre-race obligation.
Others welcomed the gimmick: Arvid Lindblad said the point was “maximum damage,” Valtteri Bottas planned to exploit the tow, and Lando Norris backed doing something different if it stays safe.
The cars are capped at 25 km/h, and Lego added bumpers after a crash-filled 2025 Miami edition, underscoring why the fan-friendly spectacle still divides drivers over novelty versus necessity.
