During the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Lando Norris received a trophy made entirely of 2,717 LEGO bricks, designed by LEGO's Samuel Liltorp Johnson. This innovative trophy, measuring 59 centimeters and weighing over 2 kilograms, was created to withstand celebratory events. The design process involved 210 hours of meticulous work, ultimately replacing traditional silverware with a nostalgic, yet structurally sound piece. The trophy also features a miniature F1 car and a golden brick, honoring the RAC Trophy's rich history while offering a fresh perspective on motorsport trophies.
Creating a 59-centimeter trophy that weighs over 2 kilograms using nothing but standard LEGO elements requires serious structural thinking. Johnson and his seven-person build team invested 210 hours into ensuring these trophies could withstand the inevitable post-race mayhem without crumbling into expensive plastic confetti.
The result stands as a masterclass in functional design that happens to be built from toys. Each trophy incorporates a miniature F1 car mounted on the front face, crowned with a golden brick that serves as both aesthetic flourish and structural keystone.
