But first, it's time for an F1 tradition.
Usually, the drivers climb into the back of an open-top truck and wave to the crowd while taking a lap of the circuit.
But today, they're doing things a little differently.
Parked on the grid are 10 Formula One cars, one for each team.
Except these aren't high-tech racing machines.
They're made entirely of Lego.
Each car is a two-seater.
One driver sits up front, the other driver in the back.
The teammates have been told to take a slow lap, wave to the fans, and let people take photos, giving LEGO a spectacular marketing opportunity.
One by one, the F1 drivers climb into cars made of toy bricks.
The electric engines hum to life.
The first car sets off.
The others follow nose to tail, rolling slowly down the straight.
Ten ultra-competitive drivers in novelty race cars, each one egged on by a teammate in the back.
You know what's coming next, right?
First, the Mercedes car edges closer to the red-brick Ferrari at the front.
Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc drifts across the track, closing the door and forcing Mercedes to back off.
The crowd roars, then the Williams car tries to take advantage of the duel at the front.
It dives forward and bumps into the back of the Mercedes.
