A Testament to the Unparalleled Excellence and Aspiration of the Sport
Pininfarina wanted to craft an exquisite trophy that embodies more than just the victory of winning an F1 Grand Prix; it's a testament to the unparalleled excellence and aspiration of the sport. The trophy's main silhouette is drawn from the intricate yet stunning shapes of F1 cars, such as the engine cover. This primary form, however, is only the beginning. It's masterfully fused with a distinctive parametric pattern that permits light to filter through, creating a singular and vibrant "alive" effect. The shimmering illumination is carefully manipulated to reveal the driver's national colors, symbolizing not only personal triumph but a connection to heritage and pride. This design serves as a timeless reminder of the racer's unique achievement, linking the sleek finesse of the vehicle to the glory of the race. It's not just a trophy; it's an emblem of success, precision, and honor within the world of Formula One.
Racing, particularly Formula 1, is intricately woven into the fabric of Pininfarina—it's part of its very DNA. In Italy, passion for F1 is unparalleled, with the 'tifosi' fervently supporting Scuderia Ferrari. From the outset, Pininfarina has shared a rich partnership with them, a bond forged in the crucible of speed and design. Pininfarina team's ardor for racing has only grown, especially since the debut of the Miami GP in 2022. To share a slice of Pininfarina storied history: The founder of Pininfarina, Battista Farina, was the uncle of Giuseppe “Nino” Farina. Nino etched his name in the annals of racing history as the first driver to clinch both an F1 Race and the F1 Championship in 1950, driving an Alfa Romeo. It gives Pininfarina immense pride and joy to sustain its relationship with F1, cherishing a legacy that spans over eight decades since his monumental victory.
