The 2025 British Grand Prix podium at Silverstone had a distinct new sparkle this year, as Formula 1 drivers were presented with trophies made entirely out of Lego bricks—marking a memorable and playful chapter in the sport’s history.
In a first for F1, the 2025 race winners received not just the iconic RAC gold trophy, but also bespoke Lego masterpieces, thanks to an ambitious collaboration with the world’s most famous toy company.
The move is part of a multi-year partnership between Formula 1 and Lego, announced at the start of the 2025 season, with the aim of introducing the sport to more families and younger fans around the globe.
The special edition Lego trophies, three for the podium finishers and one for the winning constructor, helped kick off the celebrations for F1’s 75th anniversary in style.
A New Era for Podium Prizes at Silverstone
Standing more than 59 centimeters tall and weighing just over two kilograms, the gold-adorned Lego trophy for the race winner was inspired by the legendary Royal Automobile Club (RAC) trophy that has graced the Silverstone podium for generations.
The second and third-place finishers each took home slightly smaller white Lego trophies with bold red and blue accents, while the constructor’s champion was awarded a dark blue and gold brick-built creation.

All four trophies were crafted from more than 2,700 Lego bricks each and were unveiled just one hour before the race. In total, seven expert builders from Lego’s model shop in Billund, Denmark, dedicated 210 hours to designing and assembling the prizes.
Lego designer Samuel Liltorp Johnson revealed that durability was a top priority, explaining, “We’ve glued them together so we don’t have a disaster with maybe some champagne slammed down and then them falling on the ground. We’ve done our due diligence to make sure that they don’t fall apart, and they are very strong.”
Silverstone CEO Stuart Pringle praised the initiative, calling it a fitting tribute for F1’s 75th birthday. “Since hosting the first round of the Formula 1 World Championship at Silverstone 75 years ago, we have had some iconic podium celebrations, and I could not think of a better way to make 2025 unique.
“I am sure the three drivers on the Silverstone podium today will be proudly showing off their fantastic Lego trophies for many years to come.”
Celebrating F1’s Anniversary with a Creative Twist
This is not Lego’s first imaginative foray into Formula 1. Earlier in the season, drivers made headlines by parading in special Lego-themed cars ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, much to the delight of fans of all ages.
And at the Austrian Grand Prix, eagle-eyed spectators spotted trackside marker boards constructed out of Lego bricks, further cementing the Danish brand’s presence in the sport.
But these trophies are undoubtedly the most ambitious creation yet, blending F1’s competitive spirit with Lego’s legacy of creativity and fun.
Each trophy was built from genuine Lego parts that can be bought in shops, ensuring a strong connection between the sport’s global audience and the new look on the podium.
With this unique initiative, Formula 1 and Lego have succeeded in creating not only a collector’s item but also a moment of pure joy and surprise at Silverstone.
As the top drivers hoisted their colourful brick trophies high, the message was clear: F1 is still evolving—and never afraid to celebrate its history with a playful, modern twist.
