Formula 1 winners at Silverstone presented with trophies made out of LEGO
The LEGO Group presented the top three drivers and the winning constructor of the FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2025 at Silverstone with the first-ever Formula 1 trophies made entirely of LEGO elements. Created to celebrate F1's 75th anniversary at the site of the sport's very first Formula 1 World Championship in 1950 at Silverstone, the builds were inspired by the design of the current RAC (Royal Automobile Club) golden British Grand Prix trophy that is presented to the winner of the iconic Grand Prix.
The creation of the trophies is part of the multi-year partnership between the LEGO Group and Formula 1.
The winner received a gold-adorned LEGO Trophy, comprised of 2,717 LEGO elements, weighing over 2kg. The 2nd and 3rd place podium sitters received white LEGO trophies with red and blue detailing respectively, while the constructor's winner received a dark blue and gold coloured brick-built trophy.
Julia Goldin, Chief Product & Marketing Officer at the LEGO Group, said: 'At this year's British Grand Prix, we wanted to do something truly unique to celebrate a major anniversary, as well as surprise and delight builders around the world. The legacy of Silverstone is incredible, and we hope fans are inspired by these unique trophy builds that demonstrate how starting with just one LEGO elements, there are limitless possibilities to what you can create.'
Emily Prazer, Chief Commercial Officer of Formula 1, said: 'Our partnership with the LEGO Group has already turned heads with the big build LEGO cars in Miami, and our next collaboration will see us mark Formula 1's 75th anniversary at the venue of the first race in 1950 with these exquisitely built trophies. It's been fantastic to work with the LEGO Group on developing really creative and engaging moments to drive interest and curiosity in both our existing and new fans and to inject some additional fun into such a celebratory moment as the trophy presentation.'
Stuart Pringle, Chief Executive Officer, Silverstone said "What a moment to celebrate. 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."

Former F1 driver has his say on Norris-Piastri championship battle
Lando Norris has secured victories in the last two Formula 1 races held in Austria and Silverstone, marking his first home Grand Prix win. These recent successes place Norris just eight points behind his McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri in the championship standings. Former F1 driver Johnny Herbert believes both Norris and Piastri must adopt a "selfish" mindset to win this year's F1 world championship. Herbert noted a deliberate separation between the two drivers after the Silverstone race, suggesting Norris is maturing into a more ruthless competitor. The next race is the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps, where Piastri will be looking to rebound after a penalty cost him the win at Silverstone.

Inside F1 star George Russell's new £2.2m luxury yacht with four bedrooms and garage
George Russell has purchased a stunning Pershing 6X yacht, which contains four bedrooms, a private garage for a jet ski, and plenty of room to host friends and family George Russell has splashed out on a luxurious new toy, a £2.2million Pershing 6X yacht. The 62-foot vessel can host up to 14 guests and is kitted out with all the mod cons, providing the Mercedes driver with the perfect spot for some stylish relaxation. Russell's new pride and joy, powered by twin MAN V12 1550mhp engines and capable of reaching speeds of up to 48 knots, boasts ample space to unwind on the upper deck with a massive lounger and spacious decking. Below deck, there are even more treats in store. The plush master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom, and there's also a guest bedroom, complete with a double bed and a large mirror. A third room houses two single beds, allowing Russell to invite friends and family on board for extended stays. The boat also comes equipped with a compact kitchen to cater for guests, and there's an on-board garage that can house a jet ski, should the Silver Arrows racer fancy a bit of high-octane fun on the waves. The 27-year-old now joins an elite group of Formula 1 drivers who boast million-pound yachts in their collections. Max Verstappen recently snapped up a Mangusta Gransport 33, while Lewis Hamilton's Sunseeker 90 is typically moored in Monaco, reports the Express. Fernando Alonso and Charles Leclerc are also proud owners of their own nautical toys. It has often been a popular purchase for highly-paid F1 drivers over the years, given many of them live in Monaco and so already have the perfect place to keep a yacht. Meanwhile, Russell has hinted that his future with Mercedes hinges on a contract extension, especially with the upcoming technical changes in F1. Despite a standout 2025 season so far, the King's Lynn-born driver is yet to secure new terms. The situation seems entangled with Verstappen's plans, who, despite a contract with Red Bull until 2028, faces uncertainty following boss Christian Horner's exit after the British Grand Prix. Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, having eyed Verstappen in 2024, continues to show interest. Russell, speaking in Austria last month, said of the situation: "As Mercedes, they want to be back on top, and if you're going to be back on top, you need to make sure you've got the best drivers, the best engineers, the best pit crew, and that's what Mercedes are chasing. So, it's only normal that conversations with the likes of Verstappen are ongoing." Should Wolff successfully court Verstappen, Russell may be left without a seat at Brackley, potentially leading to a swap with the Dutchman to maintain his position in a leading F1 team.
