Pirelli rolled out its 2026 Italian Grand Prix trophies this week — titled "FRAGILE" and designed to look like a wobbly stack of bowls by artist duo Vedovamazzei.

Fans immediately clocked the risk. "That's the most Lando-breakable trophy yet," one wrote. "Better make spares in case Lando gets on the podium." The design split opinion — some called it museum-worthy but inappropriate for a trophy, others praised the creative swing. Monza runs September 4-6, with Kimi Antonelli arriving 59 points clear of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who sit level on points.
