It's May 4th, 2025 at the Miami International Autodrome.
The Florida sun hangs high above the circuit.
Palm trees sway behind the grandstands.
More than 100,000 Formula One fans fill the temporary circuit built around the Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins.
In a few hours, the Miami Grand Prix will begin.
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.
