Formula 1’s podium finishers in the 2025 British Grand Prix will receive trophies made entirely from Lego bricks
The podium finishers of the British Grand Prix in Formula 1 will make history on Sunday by receiving trophies made entirely out of Lego bricks. These unique trophies, designed by Lego in celebration of F1’s 75th anniversary in 2025, mimic the design of the traditional RAC Golden trophy awarded at Silverstone. Each trophy is crafted with genuine Lego parts that are commercially available. The main winner’s trophy stands 59cm tall, weighs over 2kg, and is created from 2717 Lego bricks, while the second and third-place trophies feature red and blue accents.
Seven Lego builders collaborated to create these trophies under the direction of Lego designer Samuel Liltorp Johnson, taking a total of 210 hours to complete. The challenge was to ensure the trophies were sturdy enough to endure post-race festivities without falling apart. The Lego trophies will add a special touch to the podium celebrations at Silverstone, enhancing the spirit of F1’s 75th anniversary. The Silverstone CEO believes these Lego trophies will be cherished by the winning drivers for years to come, adding a unique and memorable element to the race event.
