Pirelli has released the design for the trophies that will be presented to the winners of the 2026 Italian Grand Prix at Monza. The structures feature a collection of cups and bowls arranged in an intentionally unstable-looking configuration. Artists Stella Scala and Simeone Crispino designed the pieces to represent the collective nature of a racing victory. The trophies were manufactured using a 3D-printing process that utilizes nylon powder before being painted and polished. According to the designers, the fragile appearance is intended to symbolize that success in Formula 1 is temporary and must be consistently re-earned. The unusual design replaces traditional motorsport silverware for this weekend’s race event.
