Lando Norris drives LEGO P1 at Silverstone

In a groundbreaking collaboration, McLaren Automotive and the LEGO Group have created a life-size, drivable replica of the iconic McLaren P1™, made entirely from LEGO Technic elements.
This unique vehicle, crafted with an impressive 342,817 pieces, was put to the test by McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris as he completed a thrilling lap around the historic Silverstone Circuit.
The life-size LEGO Technic McLaren P1™ weighs approximately 1,220 kg and features fully functional steering, marking a first for LEGO big builds that allows a model to navigate corners on a racetrack. This extraordinary creation was the result of 8,344 hours of hard work by a dedicated team of 23 specialists from both the LEGO and McLaren teams.
It is powered by an electric motor comprised of LEGO Technic Function batteries and features eight motor packs, each made up of 96 LEGO Power Function motors. In total, the vehicle showcases 768 LEGO motors that emulate the performance of the original McLaren P1™ V8 engine.

[@STEELO-247]

Knowing Lego, releasing this as a set would cost twice as much as an actual P1

[@Fuel_Fed]

true

[@JulianHombach-s1k]

true lmao

[@AxeHead-mp2dg]

i feel like thats personal

[@purwantiallan5089]

​@@cobratunerit may also costed 1.4x more expensive than Koenigsegg Gemera.

Minimum maybe three times

Now we need a f1 car build from Lego🏎

[@hipotenuza5663]

They did in Singapore in 2022, but for display only.

[@kaiserkerbeus1652]

They need some insanely strong super glue for the lego to not break at the high speeds

[@Jojofites]

The downforce combined with the G forces would rip the legos apart in no time. Not possible.

[@brandonbender5754]

The crashes would be epic!

[@lmac1807]

[@crunnifle9114]

what we need is a full lap uncut

[@hongthainguyen5334]

So someone can use the data to make Assetto Corsa mod lol

[@Oxytocin_NA]

he would've driven it pretty slow, considering it literally is just a one(the only) big toy car... the editing just makes it seem fast

[@33smimu]

@@Oxytocin_NA You can see the wing mirror about to snap off from how fast he's going.

[@divirusp]

@@33smimu the fact that a part of a lego build is about to snap off doesn't mean it was driving fast. It equally could mean it wasn't very reliable. Editors for sure did a great job to trick our perceptions. Would love to see the unedited lap as well. 1:43-1:48 gives a bit of a feeling he was driving rather slow really, maybe around 5 mph, especially when the car with the camera is visible.

[@33smimu]

@@divirusp Never said he was going fast, only that it was sufficiently fast for the Lego to be flexing.

[@smoki0_K]

A functioning LEGO CAR is not something I was expecting this year. 50 years ago they said we would have flying cars, sike we have a LEGO car

[@peskybirb7217]

TBF, its not like a LEGO car is something that's never been done before. But this is still insanely immpressive

Heard about this on the Behind The Glass podcast, what an amazing effort! The engineering effort that went into this is mindbending

[@deef0]

Show more about the powertrain!!!

[@TheImperfectGuy]

it's probably just an electric motor and a battery just largely enough to go 8 miles maybe wait a battery that goes 8 miles sounds like a normal P1 lol

​@@TheImperfectGuyYou can hear engine noises in the video though. Were they edited in then?

THIS NEEDS TO BE A LONGER VIDEO! I WOULDN'T MIND AN HOUR OF IT!

[@worminator15]

Would love if there was a follow up video going way more into detail abouth the building process and the building techniques used. Espicially about the suspension or even the powertrain

[@karasekjh]

I'm so proud of the people who built it.

[@vangeance5190]

That's why I love McLaren, it's unique in every way.❤

agreed. I feel like Freddie missed an opportunity here ahaha

[@akshaybhawar842]

Two of my most favorite things to collab is a dream come true ❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@CadJuice]

LEGO Brick Livery, when? Having the car look like it's made out of actual Lego on a race weekend would be mental. With Lando and Oscar's helmets looking like a Lego head, and the gloves looking like Lego Hands.. Fellas.. the idea is right there.

[@JackalRacingNetwork]

i like how they speed up the footage because in reality the car is only going like 5 MPH

[@arminszucsany7752]

Came here to say this

[@Lumina-HD]

First a bugatti and now a p1?!? After these many years 😭 Well amazing ❤

[@lipunr2538]

Now we need a Lego Lando Norrish😌

[@HashbrownNav]

We NEED a behind the scenes build on this. Would make such a good series.

[@KarlToastbrot]

I'm glad they didn't forget their iconic blue pins. Lego wouldn't be Lego without them.

[@EAGLEBLACKInquisido]

In the next Silverstone race (regardless of series/formula) some engineer trying to fix a puncture will pluck out a Lego from inside a tyre.

[@ross-carlson]

I wish there had been more detail about the chassis and power train - that did look like a P1 wheel and dash so did they just take the body off a P1 and replace it with a lego body? That's incredibly impressive but again, more details please! I see the brake calipers look to be lego - again I assume those are just visual covers of the real calipers....

[@worminator15]

we need more detail! pls

[@adnanrahman5883]

i would assume its a carbon tub with lego built around it, looks like he isn't wearing a seat belt either so it's very slow

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

The chassis (plus suspention) is a p1 ,the tub is made of carbon fiber ,and the rest is lego ,the drivetrain (including hundreds of lego e motors) , the body work, the full interior plus floor seats and dash, basically everything. The wing also. So the only things that are the actual thing is ,the chassis (you have to have that), suspention and the carbon fibre tub that's it.

[@teleroel]

Dad: where's all my lego gone? Ah, well, there is a race this weekend and we might need some spare parts....

[@jinayvora6240]

I swear this is within FIA regulations ...

[@70bugs]

The music and stuff is so dramatic at the beginning like this is super serious and it needs to work... buddy its legos 😂

[@georgetwydell6166]

Its cool!!! but that sampled engine noise that gets re-used in the background is kinda annoying. I don't see any shame in just having the electric motor sound because thats what it is. Doesn't make the car any less impressive!

[@VistokDB]

So this is how they make their front wing flex!

Lando dare to drive this car ,just insane !!

[@johnmiceter]

Now make a completely see through car, where you can see all the engine, the seats and when the driver gets in and drives, it would look so cool going around the track

[@PSJamie2k]

This should surely be a longer video

[@ExekielPlays23]

What would the aerodynamics be on this thing? The spaces where pins connect would suck in air, but I'm not sure if that'll help in cooling or just increase drag. But the fact that it looked like no piece fell off, is so impressive.

[@sporehux8344]

now put it in the air tunnel and get the SloMo Guys to film it.
