Lego impresses at the Miami GP with 10 full-size F1 cars (Instagram @f1)
During the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, Lego caught attention with the display of 10 full-size cars built with nearly 4 million pieces in total, about 400,000 pieces per vehicle.
These models, which replicate the cars of the 10 F1 teams, are electric and drivable, and were used by the drivers themselves during the traditional parade before the race.
Although much heavier than a real F1 car (weighing 1,500 kg each), the Lego models have steering, Pirelli tires, and hydraulic brakes similar to a real car, but they only reach up to 20 km/h.
The project was developed by the Lego team at their Kladno factory in the Czech Republic and involved around 26 professionals, including engineers, designers, and builders. In total, about 22,000 hours of work were needed over eight months to complete the 10 cars.
The vehicles are mounted on a steel frame for safety and accommodate two occupants. The project’s complexity and the challenge of producing multiple models simultaneously were highlighted by the team as a major achievement.
In addition to the cars used in the parade, Lego also presented a 1:1 scale replica of the Ferrari SF-24, made with over 560,000 Lego pieces and built by Brickvision. Although this replica is not drivable, it impresses with its level of detail and accuracy, including real logos and wheels.
For fans, smaller versions of the Ferrari SF-24 and other models are available commercially, including detailed 1:8 scale kits and models from the Speed Champions series.
