A unique and playful twist awaits at the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where the top three finishers will receive special trophies made entirely out of LEGO bricks. These trophies are a tribute to the iconic podium awards traditionally handed out at Silverstone and mark another step in the growing collaboration between the LEGO Group and Formula 1.
Following the success of the LEGO-built car parade at the Miami Grand Prix earlier this season, LEGO returns with a new creative initiative. This time, the world-famous Danish toy company has reproduced the original British Grand Prix trophies using thousands of LEGO pieces. These exclusive brick-built replicas will be awarded to the top three drivers on Sunday’s podium, along with a custom LEGO version of the trophy for the winning constructor.
The LEGO Podium Trophies: A Creative Homage to F1 Tradition
Just moments before the traditional podium ceremony at Silverstone, the drivers finishing in the top three positions will be treated to a surprising reveal. Alongside the prestigious BRDC (British Racing Drivers’ Club) trophies, they will each be handed a LEGO version of the same award.
These unique creations were designed by LEGO designer Samuel Liltorp Johnson and carefully assembled by a team of seven master builders at the LEGO headquarters in Billund, Denmark. The build process required a total of 210 hours. The standout piece is undoubtedly the trophy for the race winner, which is modeled after the official design and constructed from an impressive 2,717 LEGO bricks. It weighs just over two kilograms and reflects LEGO’s intricate craftsmanship.
To avoid any unfortunate incidents during the often chaotic and champagne-filled celebrations on the podium, LEGO ensured that each brick was securely glued during the build process. At present, there are no plans to make the LEGO trophies available for commercial sale. However, dedicated fans and collectors could theoretically reconstruct the designs themselves, as all the individual bricks are already part of existing LEGO sets.
This creative twist will not be the final collaboration between LEGO and Formula 1. Additional joint projects are already in the pipeline for the second half of the 2025 F1 season, continuing this innovative partnership.
Celebrating 75 Years of Formula 1 with LEGO at Silverstone
Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, commented on the initiative: “Our partnership with LEGO has already caught attention, especially after the brick-built F1 cars showcased in Miami. This latest collaboration marks the celebration of Formula 1’s 75th anniversary at Silverstone—the venue that hosted the very first Grand Prix back in 1950. These stunning LEGO trophies are a perfect tribute. It has been fantastic to work alongside LEGO to create such engaging and imaginative experiences that resonate with both our loyal fans and the next generation of motorsport enthusiasts.”
Silverstone, a legendary circuit in Formula 1 history, now becomes the stage for a playful yet meaningful celebration of F1’s heritage, thanks to LEGO’s creativity and craftsmanship.
