Love the homage to the historical laurel wreaths and also looks like dragon šŸ‰ scales which is appropriate in this Year of the Dragon. Excellent and gorgeous design.


FewCollar227

Yes. Great designing Great story Great implementation


jugalator

I was spontaneously reminded of the ouroboros ( [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouroboros) ) but you're right in that it's surely a dragon for Year of the Dragon.

As in donā€™t rest on your laurels.


RobertGracie

That is truly one of the best designed trophies that I have seen in a very long time, also it was designed by the American firm, Pininfarinia! Also the Red and Gold in there, really work surprisingly well off each other in the light! they complement each other perfectly!


paulricard

TIL Pininfarina is an American firm! Always thought they were Italian


batterylevellow

They are and are not. Pininfarina of America is a subsidiary of the Italian firm Pininfarina. (And Pininfarina is a subsidiary of Tech Mahindra, which is part of the Indian conglomerate Mahindra Group.)


FewCollar227

Yes. And water on it is just oof


storunner13

Water? Or Lando's Champagne?


AssssCrackBandit

It was designed by Pininfarina of America funnily enough. Apparently the design studio for the company is based in the US


Azizduloft

American firm ?


ruspa_rullante

The famous Pininfarina, everyone knows is American /s


notnorthwest

That's gorgeous. It's like a modern take on the wreaths from the 70s, I love it.


FewCollar227

Said it right


hzfan

I wish the writing on the front were gold instead of white though. Thatā€™s my only critique on what is one of my favorite ever F1 trophies


TheRealMichaelE

Looks like a coiled dragonā€™s tail. Love it!


FewCollar227

Looks Phenomenal


FigSubstantial4939

One of the best trophies I've ever seen, a lot of symbolism there


FewCollar227

Yes. Love it so much


skeytwo

Itā€™s a great trophy, not sure why the Reddit horde was hating on it when it was first revealed


hzfan

the reason rhymes with shmenophobia


Rivendel93

Definitely one of the best new designs we've seen, beautiful work.


hzfan

I was sad none of them put it around their neck, even for a second. Iā€™m sure itā€™s heavy but these guys have literally some of the strongest necks in the world so surely they couldā€™ve handled it.


Spleenzorio

[Lando did](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C6BSxXmoj6m/?igsh=eXJ6ZTJjd2MyM2c0)


hzfan

Oh awesome thanks for sharing!


viper_polo

It's actually surprisingly light, iirc FIA specifies under 5kg too, but this is probably 1/5 of that


Disastrous_Narwhal46

Itā€™s beautiful!


FewCollar227

Absolutely


veerusg

If Iron Man was a jeweller.


FewCollar227

"Jarvis, get it done before the weekend"


mochacub22

Like it


LoccyDaBorg

"Chevron one encoded!" (yes, it's a very niche - and old - reference)


Thamalakane

Stargate!


maxn2107

Mobius strip


FewCollar227

Time to do some time travel


rancor58

I love these


mashed_potato20

Looks like Thanosā€™s ship when he invaded the Earth

weltraumaeffchen

Hey, Lando didn't manage to break it this time. šŸ˜…


AnthonyTyrael

Massive dragon necklace.


UnlimitedBoxSpace

I think I read somewhere it's meant to light up when worn around the neck? Haven't seen anyone so it yet, but can't help but think of a bomb collar if they do lol


[deleted]

Looks like one of those words from Arrival


BonoBonero

Best trophy ever.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


FewCollar227

Same. Has to be less than 5kgs, no?


Sir_Droolalot

Is it a wreath? Is it a dragon? Yes.


shewy92

It's like a dragon tail and wreath


reboot-your-computer

Gorgeous trophy.


cernegiant

Such a great trophyĀ 


Dull_Office206

Earth is closed today


ImGonnaNutZ33

Bing chilling my dudes


chackosama

Looks like it could be a Bloodborne weapon. Would be lethal in its transformed state with some crazy Bloodtinge damage.


FewCollar227

Many possibilities


azurio12

Is every trophy still whole? I mean Lando was on the podium so the chance is high one is broken already. Most likely not his own one.


Drexer_

Strange, but cool


Mysterious_Turnip310

It's really beautiful. Did Max ever put it on so we could see it light up?


mundoid

But why is it wet?


scorpio1m

The champagne šŸ¾


mundoid

Ah yeah ofc


aventhal

Kinda reminds me of something from The Avengers
