F1’s drivers to get unique ‘kiss me’ trophies after Japanese GP
Lenovo, the title sponsor of the race, collaborated with design studio Pininfarina of America to create a modern, tech-driven Formula 1 trophy. The trophy is based on the design of an F1 car’s intake and incorporates smart technology that activates when the driver interacts with it. It features a “kiss me” area with indicator lights that flash when picked up, guiding drivers to the right spot. When the driver complies, touch-sensitive micro-switch technology brings the trophy to life in the colors of their national flag. Pininfarina, known for its work with renowned car manufacturers, was honored to contribute to this innovative trophy and Formula 1 history. The “kiss me” trophy technology will also be used at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, sponsored by Lenovo. Programming will ensure the right flag colors for each driver.
