The winning design for the trophy that will be handed to the inaugural winner of the new Spanish GP in Madrid has been unveiled.
Motorsport legend Carlos Sainz had a significant role in selecting the design for the winners’ trophy at the new Madring circuit, the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid this year. The Madring is a 5.4-kilometre ‘hybrid’ track that combines permanent circuit elements with public roads around the IFEMA Madrid complex. This marks Madrid’s return to hosting Formula 1 races after a 45-year absence since the last race was held at Jarama. The design competition for the trophy finalists included artists Sandra Val, Pininfarina Studio, and Laura Atalaya, with Pininfarina Studio’s ‘Monumental’ piece winning the competition. Carlos Sainz praised the choice, stating that the trophy design by Pininfarina symbolizes the essence of victory in Madrid and Formula 1, making it a fitting representation for the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix winner.
