Max Verstappen expressed his disapproval of the promotional race-show involving Lego cars, emphasizing that such events detract from the professionalism of Formula 1. Speaking to media, Verstappen remarked:
“I'd rather play it at home than be a clown on the track in bumper car mode.”
— Reflecting on the previous year's event in Miami, Lewis Hamilton described the chaotic nature of the race, highlighting the dangers involved. Hamilton shared:
“I think it was the most dangerous moment of the year, Charles was driving and it was exhilarating to see how everyone crashed.”
— Verstappen further elaborated on his stance, underscoring the importance of maintaining the integrity of F1. He stated:
“I prefer to play with Legos at home with the children - on the track I prefer to be with the other drivers in a truck. It's more fun and more professional. We are F1 drivers, we don't have to look like kids or clowns trying to fight each other. That's not what F1 needs.”
