We’re 11 races into the 2026 season and the trophy cases at team bases are starting to fill up, and this year’s haul is one of the most varied we’ve seen in recent years. There are trophies that draw on heritage and tradition, while others are inspired by contemporary and abstract ideas.
While we wait for racing to return, here’s a closer look at every trophy awarded so far this season. Their designs, their stories and, of course, the drivers who have earned the right to lift them.
Australia
Who took it home: George Russell
All the drivers are eager to start the season on a high and there is no better score than winning the first race of the year. There’s another reason why drivers are so eager to win at the glorious Albert Park circuit: the Australian Grand Prix trophies are truly special. An embossed silver plate, inspired by Sir’s steering wheel. Jack BrabhamCooper-Climax T51, winner of the 1959 World Championship. Nowhere else in the world will you find a trophy with motor sport history ingrained in its design.
This season, George Russell he won the first game of the season and got the plate, with his teammate Kimi Antonelli and ferrari‘s Carlos Leclerc receiving smaller versions of the design for their efforts.
Porcelain
Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli
The second race of the season came with added risks: the first Sprint weekend of the season and more points (and trophies) on offer. The Pirelli Sprint Qualifying award was presented on Friday, followed by Sprint trophies for the top three finishers in Saturday’s Sprint.
On Friday, Russell continued his strong momentum following his victory in Melbourne by taking the Sprint Pole by a comfortable margin of three tenths. In doing so, he was rewarded not only with the front row spot, but also with a completely redesigned Pirelli Sprint Qualifying Award.
The next day, Russell, Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton who received the Sprint podium awards, which included engravings of dragons, the Chinese symbol of power, strength and luck, very appropriate for the top three.
The Grand Prix also featured a completely new and striking design for its trophy: an elongated double-cone shape, which widens at the bottom like a swirling flame. Antonelli’s first Grand Prix victory was rewarded with this elegant prize, one he clearly didn’t want to part with, and we don’t blame him!
Japan
Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli
Antonelli did not have to wait long to win his second Grand Prix. In fact, it was just the two weeks that F1 made its annual trip to Suzuka.
The Japanese Grand Prix trophy features some of Japan’s most iconic elements, including Sakura (cherry blossom) engravings, as well as distinctive bamboo-style pillars supporting the main structure. Together with the Italian they got on the podium Oscar Piastri and Leclerc, and both got smaller versions to add to their own growing collections.

After a brief break, F1 returned with a bang to Miami for the second Sprint weekend of the season. Lando Norris He was on a mission to collect all the trophies at the Autódromo, the circuit where he had achieved his first victory in 2024. The first was the Pirelli Sprint Qualifying Award, and he converted it into a Sprint victory ahead of his teammate Piastri and Leclerc. The three received awards from the Sprint podium, adorned with the Miami Dolphins logo, a nod to Hard Rock Stadium, home of F1 in Miami, as well as the iconic NFL team.
The Grand Prix winner’s trophy once again went to Antonelli, who showed that a month away from racing could not slow down his momentum. The Tiffany & Co-designed trophy featured a silver geometric column, engraved with a palm tree to capture the South Florida aesthetic, and topped with a crown emulating the silhouette of Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.
Canada
Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli
Then came Canada and another Sprint weekend, so double the drama and even more trophies to hand out. The top two went to Russell, who took a fantastic Sprint pole and turned it into a Sprint victory the next day, taking the award for the highest Sprint podium, adorned with Canada’s national symbol: the maple leaf.
Another spectacular sporting prize appeared before the race in the form of the FIFA World Cup trophy, which was displayed over the weekend to celebrate Canada co-hosting the tournament.
After becoming the first driver to achieve his first four consecutive Grand Prix victories, Antonelli collected more trophies for his cabinet, finishing ahead of Hamilton and Max Verstappen getting his first trophy of the season.

Austria
Who took it home: George Russell
Next up was another classic European circuit and a trophy, courtesy of the Red Bull Ring and the Austrian Grand Prix. This race has been one of the pioneers in innovative design, and the current trophy is instantly recognizable as a golden, stylized representation of the circuit design. It was Russell who made the long-awaited return to the top step to collect this trophy after a run of bad luck, making it a very special reward for the Brit.
Great Britain
Who took it home: Carlos Leclerc
Another Sprint weekend has arrived and the chance to earn even more trophies! The first of the weekend went to Hamilton, who took a fantastic home Sprint pole, before Antonelli took his first Sprint win ahead of Hamilton and Norris. The trio took the prizes on the Sprint podium, decorated with the national flag in the shape of the Silverstone circuit.
In addition to the official race trophy, the winner of the British Grand Prix also receives the traditional Royal Automobile Club Trophy. A large ornate two-handled mug plated in sterling silver and hand engraved with floral designs. It was for Leclerc this season after a fantastic victory ahead of local heroes Russell and Hamilton.
However, Leclerc will not be able to place it on the shelf at home, no matter how much he would like to: it goes directly to the Royal Automobile Club. It’s a fleeting wait, but it’s worth it.
Belgium
Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli
Just a week later, F1 returned to Spa-Francorchamps for the Belgian Grand Prix. Despite being an old-school classic circuit, the winner’s trophy has taken a different trajectory as one of the most abstract on the calendar, so far.
The Silver Jeroboam Trophy features a spiraling and tiered silver metal design that captures the shape and motion of an exploding bottle of celebratory champagne. After a short period of time away from the top step, this masterpiece passed into the hands of championship leader Antonelli, taking the victory ahead of Leclerc and Verstappen.
Hungary
Who took it home: Lando Norris
The last race before the summer holidays took place at the Hungaroring. Each year, the creators of the Hungarian Grand Prix trophies ensure that no two years share the same design, so the 2026 editions arrived with a fresh look, featuring traditional Hungarian folk art, and this year included a gold, silver and bronze finish for the top three.
As always, the trophies are made of handmade porcelain and take around six months to make. They are also incredibly delicate, as Norris discovered in 2023 when he broke Verstappen’s on the podium; The Dutchman was presented with a replacement after that mishap.
This year the Briton achieved another after achieving his first victory as current World Champion. Verstappen and Antonelli took home the silver and bronze variants before a well-deserved rest.
