Lewis Hamilton Backs Down on Threat to Skip LEGO Race as Fernando Alonso Wins
Fernando Alonso won the 22-driver LEGO minicars race after several cars got stuck in the Silverstone gravel, Formula 1 said.
- On Sunday, Formula 1 drivers participated in a chaotic LEGO race at the British Grand Prix, with each custom vehicle constructed from 28,000 bricks.
- Lewis Hamilton competed despite previously threatening to skip the event, which he had branded 'the most dangerous part of the weekend' during Thursday's press conference.
- Misfortune struck early as FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem and several drivers became stuck in the Silverstone gravel, requiring them to lift their vehicles to continue.
- Victory went to Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso, a rare success for the team that has struggled at the back of the field throughout this season.
- Each vehicle featured 28,000 bricks, marking an evolution from last year's Miami event where teammates shared a single car, unlike the individual vehicles provided for the stars here.
