Auto – This Sunday, at the opening of the Miami F1 GP, the pilots paid for part of fun before serious things started. They were able to play with Lego … life -size
Usually, the parade of pilots preceding a Grand Prix of F1 is something that could not be more uninteresting. Gathered on a truck trailer, they go around the circuit and salute the crowd distractedly. Youpie … but in Miami, it was different. To pay tribute to his partnership with Formula 1, Lego had built a replica of the car from each stable.
It is therefore ten LEGO racing cars, made up of 400,000 bricks each, which were aligned on the starting grid. Better still: they were provided with real tires and small electric motors, so they carried out the traditional circuit. And it quickly degenerated …
Debris on the track
Because these cars practically as large as the real could in fact accommodate the two pilots of each team. And if we put drivers in cars, even limited to 20 km/h, what happens? What started as a parade quickly became an uncompromising race, and no LEGO F1 returned to the unscathed paddock. All this in general hilarity, of course.
-We hope that the commissioners have picked up all the songs well, because it is planned that these giant toys are present at other races, throughout this season. Beautiful idea in any case to host the F1 weekend program.
