The trophies won in 2026 so far: Every design, winner and story

We’re now 11 races into the 2026 season, and the trophy cabinets back at teams’ 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 lean into heritage and tradition, whilst others are inspired by contemporary and abstract ideas.

As we wait for racing to return, here is a closer look at every trophy that has been 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 drivers are eager to start the season on a high, and there’s no finer marker than to win the first race of the year. There is another reason drivers are so keen to win at the glorious Albert Park circuit: the Australian Grand Prix trophies are truly special. An embossed silver dish, inspired by the steering wheel of Sir Jack Brabham's 1959 World Championship-winning Cooper-Climax T51. Nowhere else in the world will you find a trophy with motorsport history ingrained in its very design.

This season, George Russell won the season opener and got his hands on the dish, with team mate Kimi Antonelli and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc receiving smaller versions of the design for their efforts.

China

Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli

The second race of the season came with added jeopardy: the first Sprint weekend of the season and more points – and trophies – on offer. The Pirelli Sprint Qualifying Award was handed out on Friday, followed by the Sprint trophies for the top three finishers in Saturday’s Sprint.

On Friday, Russell continued his strong momentum off the back of his win in Melbourne when securing Sprint Pole by a comfortable three-tenths margin. In doing so, he was rewarded not only with the front row spot, but also with a completely redesigned Pirelli Sprint Qualifying Award.

The following day, it was Russell, Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton who were presented with the Sprint podium awards, which included engravings of dragons, the Chinese symbol for power, strength, and luck — very fitting for the top three.

The Grand Prix also boasted a brand-new and eye-catching design for its trophy: an elongated double-cone shape, flaring out at the bottom like a swirling flame. Antonelli’s first Grand Prix win 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 didn’t have long to wait to win his second ever Grand Prix. Just the two weeks, in fact, when F1 made its yearly trip to Suzuka.

The Japanese Grand Prix trophy features some of the most iconic elements of Japan, including engravings of Sakura (cherry blossom) as well as distinctive bamboo-style pillars supporting the main structure. Joining the Italian on the podium were Oscar Piastri and Leclerc, with both securing smaller versions to add to their own growing collections.

Miami

Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli

After a short hiatus, F1 was back with a bang in Miami for the second Sprint weekend of the season. Lando Norris was on a mission to collect all the trophies at the Autodrome, the circuit at which he’d achieved his maiden win in 2024. First up was the Pirelli Sprint Qualifying Award, and he converted that into a Sprint win ahead of team mate Piastri and Leclerc. All three received the Sprint podium awards, embellished with the Miami Dolphins logo — a nod to the Hard Rock Stadium, home to 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 couldn’t stop his momentum. The Tiffany & Co-designed trophy featured a geometric silver column, engraved with a palm tree to capture the aesthetic of South Florida, and topped off with a crown that emulates 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 award. The first two went to Russell who secured a fantastic Sprint pole and converted it to a Sprint win the following day, taking the top Sprint podium award, adorned with the national symbol of Canada: the Maple Leaf.

Another spectacular sporting award made an appearance ahead of the race in the form of the FIFA World Cup trophy, on display over the weekend to celebrate Canada co-hosting the tournament.

After becoming the first driver to achieve his first four Grand Prix wins consecutively, Antonelli collected some more silverware for the cabinet, finishing ahead of Hamilton and Max Verstappen procuring his first trophy of the season.

The Grand Prix du Canada trophy features a sleek silver spiral design centred around a red maple leaf and topped with a racing chequered flag — a wonderful blend of racing and Canadian culture.

Monaco

Who took it home: Kimi Antonelli

All the drivers want their hands on the famous Monaco Grand Prix trophy. For 2026, the race unveiled a redesigned winner's trophy, crafted from carbon fibre, enhanced with 24-carat gold, and complete with a diamond for a touch of pure Monagasque glamour.

This season, it was a fifth Grand Prix victory on the bounce for Antonelli. His maiden Monaco Grand Prix win is one he’ll never forget, and that breathtaking award will make sure of that.

Barcelona-Catalunya

Who took it home: Lewis Hamilton

The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix boasts one of the most distinctive trophies on the calendar. The centrepiece features a thick cutout shaped to mimic the track layout, with added carved Catalan lace patterns on the front to honour the race location.

It’s a heavy trophy, but there’s no telling that to Hamilton. Who, after achieving his first Grand Prix win in red, celebrated by throwing it into the air. Don’t worry — he caught it! We imagine he’ll be taking incredibly good care of this one.

Austria

Who took it home: George Russell

Next up came another classic European circuit and trophy courtesy of the Red Bull Ring and the Austrian Grand Prix. This race has been one of the pioneers of innovative design, with the current trophy instantly recognisable as a golden, stylised representation of the circuit’s layout. It was Russell who made a long-awaited return to the top step to collect this trophy after a run of tough luck, making this an extra-special reward for the Brit.

Great Britain

Who took it home: Charles Leclerc

Along came another Sprint weekend, and the chance for even more trophies! The first of the weekend went to Hamilton who secured a fantastic home Sprint pole, before Antonelli took his maiden Sprint win ahead of Hamilton and Norris. The trio took the Sprint podium awards, decorated with the national flag in the shape of the Silverstone circuit.

Alongside the official race trophy, the winner of the British Grand Prix is also presented with the long-standing Royal Automobile Club Trophy. A large ornate two-handled cup covered in sterling silver and hand-engraved with floral designs. It went to Leclerc this season after a fantastic win ahead of home heroes Russell and Hamilton.

However, Leclerc won’t be able to place this one on his mantlepiece at home, much as he might want to: it goes straight back to the Royal Automobile Club. It’s a fleeting hold, but well 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 on a different trajectory as one of the most abstract on the calendar, so far.

The Silver Jeroboam Trophy features a staggered, spiralling silver metal design that captures the shape and motion of a celebratory champagne bottle burst. After a short period of time away from the top step, this masterpiece went into the hands of Championship leader Antonelli, taking the win ahead of Leclerc and Verstappen.

Hungary

Who took it home: Lando Norris

The final race before the summer break was 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 came with fresh looks, featuring traditional Hungarian folk art, with this year including a gold, silver and bronze finish for the top three.

As ever, the trophies are handcrafted porcelain and take around six months to make. They are also incredibly delicate, as Norris found out in 2023 when he broke Verstappen's on the podium — the Dutchman was presented with a replacement after that mishap.

This year the Brit got another after taking his first victory as a reigning World Champion. Verstappen and Antonelli took home the silver and bronze variations before a very well-deserved break.
