Max Verstappen has voiced strong disapproval over Formula One’s decision to have drivers participate in a parade lap using Lego cars at Sunday’s British Grand Prix, warning it risks making them appear like "kids and clowns".The four-time world champion told broadcaster Viaplay that he would prefer the traditional format, where drivers are transported around the circuit on a flatbed truck, engaging with fans and conducting television interviews."I prefer to play with Lego at home, you know, with the kids. Not on a go-kart here, to be honest," the Dutchman stated. "I prefer to stand on a truck, just with everyone together. I think that’s more fun and I think it also looks more professional."Formula One and Lego announced on Thursday that all 22 drivers would complete a lap of Silverstone before Sunday’s race in miniature cars constructed from thousands of Lego bricks.F1 drivers also drove in Lego cars at last year's Las Vegas Grand Prix (Getty)This initiative follows a previous event at last year’s Miami Grand Prix, which saw drivers in two-seater cars involved in collisions, resulting in bricks being scattered across the asphalt.Verstappen reiterated his concerns, saying: "At the end of the day we are Formula One drivers, I think we should not look like kids and clowns trying to ram into each other. I don’t think that is what Formula One needs, but it is what it is."Conversely, Emily Prazer, Formula One’s chief commercial officer, defended the event, suggesting it would showcase a different facet of the sport and "create an incredible spectacle for fans".Once the Lego car parade is out of the way, the British Grand Prix promises to be a fascinating battle as the F1 title race heats up.George Russell will be hoping to close the gap to his teammate and championship leader Kimi Antonelli after winning in Austria last weekend.Russell is currently 40 points behind Antonelli in the standings, but was in supreme form in F1’s most recent race.Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton is only six points behind Russell, and will be eyeing a victory on home soil to prove his title credentials as he aims to close in on a record-breaking eighth world championship.
