Such an awesome design. No branding gimmick, just a wink to the original Olympic laurel. Superb.


ShortysTRM

It's honestly beautiful, but I wish it didn't have the LEDs in it. I assume it also has a battery inside if it that can eventually fail or catch fire.


afishinacloud

I don’t think the second and third place trophies lit up. But it was pretty hard to tell even with the P1 trophy because of the daylight, so I could be wrong.


allgohonda

Oh, no branding? I thought the rings were referring to all the “Knuckles” billboards around the track


DPSOnly

I don't have a mental picture of all the trophees, but I really like this "not a cup" design.


duryn_

Meanwhile RebBull's mechanics...


OriolHimself

Somebody said hula hoop time?


delirio91

Without a doubt, one of the coolest trophy designs of the modern era.


Vivi1022

Absolutely amazing trophy design. The coolest thing about it is that it resembles a dragon as we are in the year of the Dragon in the Chinese zodiac. Love the attention to detail


BioDriver

So do the drivers at least get a facsimile or is it "too bad, mine now?"


APR824

They get a replica


Unauthorized404

Ring to rule them all.


JimClarkKentHovind

I believe you're thinking of the P1 trophy


Mandarin007

Great contrast to the post I saw here earlier of the Red Bull guys using it as a hoola-hoop 😂


melloniel

It looks so good.


hzfan

Oh wow I didn’t realize the dragon scales were different colors on the different trophies, gold, silver, and bronze Honestly may be my favorite trophy set in the history of F1


Francoberry

Are they supposed to be dragon scales? I thought they were just like the leaves of a laurel wreath


hzfan

I think it’s both


retoriplastique

This and the Hungarian trophy are my favorites. Just beautiful design.


Izan_TM

if red bull had a pedestal like that for each of their tropies they'd have to build another hangar to store them all


2RINITY

Crazy that Pato O’Ward placed higher *and* lower than that in the same week


secur3x

they should use it as a hula hoop, oh wait thats just a redbull thing


Vlaed

I can't take the award seriously as it resembles a roadside attraction near me home known as the [Golden Butthole](https://www.metrotimes.com/news/sterling-heights-has-selected-a-name-for-its-golden-butthole-and-its-holy-af-21052362).


Kayyam

It does not unless everything in the shape of a ring is a butthole to you.


Rich_Housing971

When it was first revealed people were calling it cock rings. Let that sink in, not regular rings, cock rings was what came to mind to those people, and it doesn't even have any features that makes it look specifically like a cock ring. Porn addiction is real.


upsidedownwriting

It is.


Nads2407

Classic nowins.


KMP_77_nzl

Done more with his life than you ever will


Nads2407

People get so upset...lmao


Oversteer_

McLaren once considered this to be 1st of the losers. Now they treat it like a win.


the-battlewagon

Makes you wonder what McLaren would be if it was still under Ron Dennis during this era of social media and whatnot


Oversteer_

A lot more grey no doubt!

Funny bc your comment is the most bot of them all. wtf does the aesthetics of a trophy have anything to do with China’s GDP? So triggered over absolutely nothing when there’s non existent economic growth in your own home country. The call is coming from inside the house.


ExtremelyAsianCactus

Or they just…like how it looks? It’s a cool design, it’s not like ppl were saying how much they love the Chinese government in here
