News - 2026-07-08 - By Jenny Marsh

Reports from Silverstone said several LEGO minicars ended up in the gravel during the 2026 British Grand Prix drivers' parade.

Reports from Silverstone said the British Grand Prix drivers' parade ran into trouble when several LEGO minicars ended up in the gravel. Formula1.com listed the LEGO run as one of the off-track moments from the 2026 event, while Motorsport.com reported that multiple cars were beached during the pre-race lap.

Autosport reported before the event that all 22 drivers would use individual LEGO minicars for the parade after the concept first appeared at last year's Miami Grand Prix. It also reported that the karts were built from 28,000 Lego bricks and were capable of 25km/h.

The incident remains based on published reports and has not been independently confirmed here. Separate from the parade story, Red Bull is an Austrian Formula 1 constructor founded in 2005 and has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors' titles through 2026.
