Where to watch the complete Formula 1 LEGO kart race
The full video premiered on July 11 at 16:00 CET on Formula 1’s official YouTube channel. Until now, fans had only been able to enjoy short highlights and onboard clips shared by Formula 1, the teams, and the drivers throughout the British Grand Prix weekend.
The complete broadcast now offers viewers the opportunity to experience every moment of the entertaining contest, including the close racing, light-hearted battles, amusing incidents and plenty of memorable interactions between the drivers. It is the first time the entire event has been made available without edits, giving fans a chance to relive one of the most original spectacles of the 2026 Formula 1 season.
The Silverstone LEGO race became an instant social media phenomenon
The special event took place approximately two hours before the start of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, with the entire Formula 1 grid swapping their usual 1,000-horsepower machines for specially built LEGO kart cars. The unusual challenge immediately captured the imagination of fans, with videos spreading rapidly across Instagram, X, Threads, TikTok and YouTube.
From playful overtakes and wheel-to-wheel battles to friendly collisions and hilarious driver reactions, the race delivered exactly the kind of entertaining content that resonated with both long-time Formula 1 followers and casual viewers. The relaxed atmosphere allowed supporters to see another side of the drivers away from the intense pressure of a Grand Prix weekend.
Liberty Media continues expanding Formula 1’s digital audience
The release of the full race reflects Formula 1’s ongoing strategy under Liberty Media to broaden the sport’s global appeal through creative digital content. Alongside initiatives like Drive to Survive, behind-the-scenes documentaries, social media exclusives and interactive fan experiences, entertaining events like the LEGO race are helping introduce Formula 1 to a younger generation of viewers.
Rather than focusing solely on racing action, Formula 1 has increasingly embraced content that highlights the personalities of the drivers and the lighter side of the paddock. The enormous online response to the Silverstone LEGO race demonstrates just how successful that approach has become.
For anyone who missed the event during the British Grand Prix weekend—or simply wants to enjoy it again—the complete race is now available to watch on Formula 1’s official YouTube channel.
