Verstappen jokes about his brand-new F1 car: 'Bit of LEGO debris on the road'

The LEGO drivers parade in Miami was part of a broader collaboration between LEGO and Formula 1, which began earlier this year. Thanks to this collaboration, avid F1 fans can now buy small LEGO versions of last season's F1 cars. Of course, fans have to assemble the cars themselves. The parade provided unique footage of the drivers in their 'own' LEGO cars.

Verstappen could see the humour in it. "Yeah, I think they need to sweep the track. There's quite a bit of LEGO debris on the road now," joked the Dutchman. "A few cars collided along the way, but yeah, it's a bit different, that's for sure. Ours is a bit slow on top speed, so we slowly dropped back throughout the lap, but it's more important to actually clean the track at the moment.
