For this weekend's United States Grand Prix, Pirelli have unveiled the set of new special trophies. The figures produced go by the name 'Heroo', and were designed by Matteo Macchiavelli.
Pirelli created the special "Heroo" trophies. The figures resemble the heroes the drivers are sitting in the cockpit, driving the cars at over 300km/h, the tyre manufacturers write. Moreover, the three "Heroos" stand on Pirelli's medium tyres, celebrating their achievement of finishing on the podium with their hands in the air.
All three figures also have a different helmet, given the position they finish in. The trophy for first place has gold helmet, second place's is silver, and P3's is titanium.
It was also revealed that the top three drivers will wear a special podium cap as well, made from denim.
