LISTEN: LEGO Debuts 10 Fully-Drivable F1 Cars

LEGO Group and Formula 1 unveiled 10 fully-drivable F1 cars in Miami on Sunday. The effort was the fruit of a partnership with all 10 teams on the grid and they made their debut at the Miami Grand Prix Driver's Parade. Each vehicle is made of some 400,000 bricks and weighs a little more than 3,300 pounds—2,200 of that is just the bricks. The average F1 car weighs only 1,759 pounds, including the driver but no fuel, and typically consists of zero LEGO bricks. The vehicles have a bit of a speed differential as well, the average F1 car tops out at 233 mph and their LEGO counterparts bury the needle at 12 mph, but hey they're twice as heavy.
