Parade featured fully Lego cars built to resemble the real thing (over 22K hours to design and construct, using nearly 400K bricks per car!)

Search "F1 Lego" to see still detailed photos, if you are interested (all the good ones are copyrighted and thus unlinkable, of course.)

Apparently, Lego is coming out with a documentary on the whole process: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news/2025/october/lego-f1-miami-drivers-parade-special-trailer?locale=en-us
