New artistic trophies presented for Grand Prix in Imola

Pirelli has presented the trophies for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix. They look very different from the trophies of 2020: at that time, a design with the layout of the circuit was chosen, with the particularity of a diamond at the Tamburello corner, where Ayrton Senna crashed in 1994. Now, an artistic design in the form of a lightning bolt has been chosen.

As title sponsor of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, Pirelli is responsible for the trophies awarded to the top three. They have opted for an artistic approach, having the trophies designed by artist Alice Ronchi.

Artistic approach for new trophy

Ronchi has chosen a lightning bolt, taking inspiration from the Greek god Zeus. "I see the lightning bolt as a symbol of strength, speed and excitement," explains Ronchi, "hopefully this trophy will provide a new, narrative aspect."
