After a lengthy interval, Formula 1 is set to make its highly anticipated return this weekend to Austin for the United States Grand Prix. This race marks the beginning of an exciting triple-header series, with consecutive events planned in Texas, Mexico, and Brazil. Pirelli, the official tire supplier, has announced the coveted prizes for the drivers who manage to cross the finish line first on Sunday. The champion of the United States Grand Prix will take home a unique trophy that stands out.

Texas Race Weekend: A Test of Skill and Speed

This race weekend in Austin promises plenty of opportunities for drivers to shine. The competition at the Circuit of the Americas includes a sprint race on Saturday, where teams will battle fiercely for a coveted podium spot. However, the majority of points—and the most prestigious awards—will be awarded during the main race taking place on Sunday. Those who excel during the GP of the United States will walk away with a remarkable piece of art as their prize.

Celebrating Racing Excellence with Unique Trophies

Italian artist and designer Matteo Macchiavelli is behind the creation of the striking trophies. Collaborating with tire sponsor Pirelli, he has produced three distinct awards that evoke a playful resemblance to LEGO figurines. This partnership comes amid Formula 1’s recent announcement of a significant collaboration with the renowned Danish toy manufacturer.

Introducing the HEROO Trophy: Honoring Heroic Drivers

According to Macchiavelli, these trophies are called HEROO, designed to honor the heroic spirit of Formula 1 drivers. Each trophy stands on a rubber base resembling a Pirelli tire. “Drivers are rightly called heroes,” states an official press release. “They race at speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour, nestled in a custom cockpit, powered by a thousand horsepower engine, and carrying over a hundred liters of fuel. While Formula 1 has indeed become significantly safer than in the past, this does not diminish the valiant nature of the drivers.”
