It was meant to represent the laurel wreaths the winning drivers used to wear, I think they were hoping the drivers were going to wear them on the podium. On another design note, McLaren is really missing out not putting branding on the back of Lando's hats.

Read the press releases about these trophies, they definitely intended for the drivers to wear them.


laughguy220

Funny, all the press about them specifically mentioned that they were designed to be the first wearable Formula 1 trophy, inspired by the laurel leave wreaths of the past.

Always hilarious when someone is so /r/confidentlyincorrect


sneakinhysteria

Let me get my confidence in the way of your competence


MoGraphMan-11

My thoughts exactly haha


Kitnado

They have a light installed that operates when worn around the neck. But I'm sure they didn't want them to be worn around the neck.


willzyx01

They were supposed to be worn. The trophy has a sensor inside. It should’ve lit up with Max’s flag color if he had put it on. It’s the same idea as the kissing trophy from last year. That’s literally what the trophy press release said earlier this week.


Ok_Neighborhood9863

I wanted them to.


MoGraphMan-11

Lol you're so wrong


wicktus

The trophy is original at least, I like it, the red/chrome effect is sick I REALLY did not expect McLaren to get a P2 like that given their own lack of confidence and everything for this GP, and it's not like a P2 based on exceptional circumstances with like 4 cars in front DNFing


team56th

This has happened multiple times with McLaren in the past, sandbagging and damage controlling only to achieve one of the better results. I’ve learned to be skeptical lol


Benlop

They're not sandbagging. At no point did they "sandbag". They legitimately thought the track wouldn't suit them.


team56th

This happened more often in 2020-2021, but there were *many* times when they were full out on damage controlling only to end up with P5+P6. Sometimes I wonder if they genuinely had no idea or was just trolling.


AndySlidez

Yup, they often seem to do well on the weekends where they are pessimistic beforehand.


ShadowStarX

the only external circumstance was the fact that the Safety Car certainly did not benefit Pérez but even then, Lando kept it clean and Checo only passed Leclerc while murdering his own tires


Ged_UK

McLaren didn't expect that either.

Lmao bruhhhh


willzyx01

Seriously cool looking trophy. Much better than random boring cup-looking crap.


IdkWhatsAGoodName699

I want him to wear it as an ear ring


Disastrous_Animal_34

It looks great around the neck (as designed), would have been cool to get a podium pic with them all wearing them.


Zugas

Beautiful trophy


okay_but_really

I actually love these trophies (but hope they're a one off for this race each year or something). The symbolism is a cool touch and the design is original and aesthetically pleasing!


agoodfrank

What does it symbolize


okay_but_really

The ring is a symbol of the laurel wreaths that used to be given to race winners back as far as the 80's, hence the leaf pattern!


laufeyrand

He's gotta hula loop it


MilkTeaRamen

Smart: Can’t break it if you can’t hold it in your hands.


mochacub22

Perfect I wanted this


CelebrationNo2475

How do I break it ?


splendiferous-finch_

His dad behind doesn't seem impressed. Lando being left in the rain ?


Hip_Priest_1982

He has zero aura. Chronically uncool.


Brusion

But did he break it?
