Lewis Hamilton considering absence from 'dangerous' fan-favourite F1 event

Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he is considering not taking part in the return of the LEGO F1 car drivers' parade at this weekend's British Grand Prix.

Back in 2025, LEGO created an F1 car for each team to be used in the Miami Grand Prix drivers' parade that year, which instantly became a fan favourite.

The drivers ended up racing around the lap and crashing into each other, leaving some in hysterics. For Silverstone on Sunday, LEGO has taken things to another level.

Following the success of the Miami drivers' parade, LEGO has built a miniature F1 car for each driver, capped at 25kph, to be used for a lap ahead of the British GP.

For fans, 22 LEGO F1 cars are a major hit, with some joking that it means they have three F1 races on display this weekend – the Sprint, the LEGO race and the grand prix.

While Hamilton found last year's LEGO event in Miami hilarious, he is unsure whether he will take part this time around.

"I mean, it’s the most dangerous part of the weekend," Hamilton joked.  

"I let Charles drive last time and it was just hilarious watching everyone crashing into each other. So yeah, I don’t know whether or not I’ll be in the LEGO car this year."

While the seven-time world champion outlined that his participation for the drivers' parade is undecided, Hamilton opted against expanding as to the exact reason why.

Asked if his concerns surround getting injured, Hamilton replied: "I mean, there’s not really much to say on the car thing. That’s something I need to take offline."
