Drivers Delivered to Podium in LEGO Pink CaddyMark Thompson - Getty Images
Just three years into the Las Vegas Grand Prix, it's consistently building and tweaking its race traditions, with the cool-down car from the past two years upgraded in 2025 to a pink LEGO Cadillac piloted by actor and former NFL player Terry Crews.
At the end of F1's longest race by overall distance on the calendar, Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, and George Russell climbed into the back bench seat of the LEGO convertible, where a LEGO race track and oversized pink LEGO sunglasses were waiting for them. Russell and Verstappen immediately put on their glasses, as Norris readjusted the LEGO race cars to place his car in front of Verstappen, where he could've very well finished without his lap-one mistake.
As the crew drove the movable cooldown room to the fountain, the drivers discussed their race. When it grew silent, Verstappen suggested that they needed a song. Two years ago, Verstappen sang Elvis Presley's "Viva Las Vegas" on his cool-down lap; this year, Crews had other plans.
The White Chicks actor immediately started singing Vanessa Carson's "A Thousand Miles", in reference to his role in the 2004 Wayans Brothers' film White Chicks.
The LEGO Cadillac was seen around the circuit all weekend, and marks the second time that LEGO and F1 have joined forces to create life-sized vehicles for their drivers. LEGO provided 10 1:1-scale F1 cars for the drivers' parade at the Miami Grand Prix, which led to the 20 drivers fighting over the captain's seat and LEGO-to-LEGO contact.
In F1's third and final trip to the States, the LEGO Group came with a splash, announcing its partnership with F1 Academy to field Esmee Kosterman next season.
