hello!

saw max talk about this in a clip from his twitch stream and was wondering if you knew anything about this. is there only one drivers championship trophy and it gets like what, passed around? he said he had the real one and a replica that already had both his championships on it so is it also only one replica per driver with their championships written on them?

i knew they got replicas for their podiums/wins (and that sometimes they get to keep the original) but didn’t think this also applied to the championship trophy as well. does that essentially mean that lewis, fernando etc all have a trophy as well but it isn’t the real one that’s moving around? how does it even have the room to keep adding all these names to them?

such a random but cool fact i guess that i hadn’t heard people talk about before

sorry, whenever drivers drop these little tidbits i get really hooked on these weird, pointless details

this is a good question because like everything in motorsport: it's complicated.

so: there is one championship trophy, which has every champion since Giuseppe Farina's name carved on it. but it wasn't made in 1950, it was made in 1995 by a company called Fox Silver.

like a lot of sporting trophies, you only have it while you've won it, so there are also a bunch of replicas. since 1995 those have looked like this, the official, etched-year-on-year trophy (each ring of the spiral has a decade of champions on) there was a lot going on in the FIA in the early-to-mid 90s and this new trophy came during some very major governance wranglings between what was then the sporting arm of the FIA (FISA) and FOCA (the Formula One Constructors' Association) that ultimately ended in FISA being reabsorbed into the FIA and FOCA getting Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley into vice presidency and presidency of the FIA to represent their interests.

(that's oversimplifying but otherwise we'll be here all day)

a new era of grand stability and governance for the sport naturally merited a new, ugly trophy:

but before 1995 that's not what the trophy looked like at all. it's amazingly hard to find photos of the actual trophy because F1 has always had this slightly bizarre (especially for a sport where there are trophies every week) half-arsed approach to awarding the actual championship silver.

but here's a photo of Nina Rindt, Jochen Rindt's widow, receiving his posthumous world championship trophy in 1970. as you can see, it'd a kind of modest little generic trophy, which despite the tragic circumstances of Rindt's win, isn't unlike what they usually were.

so: yes, all drivers who've won it in the last 28 years have won the same trophy and then they or their teams or both have had replicas made.

hope that answers the question semi-competently!

there's a sort of - I don't want to call it a rumour because it's stronger than that but an unverified story that the actual trophy currently being handed out is itself a replica and that Michael Schumacher kept the 1995 original. idk if that really matters either way, so long as there's one trophy that gets handed out every year (and it's not necessarily true in any case) but it does vaguely sound like the sort of thing Bernie Ecclestone would do.

edited to add: Nina Rindt was a timekeeper and incredibly accurate - timekeeping back then meant using a literal stopwatch and writing down lap times as drivers passed the pits. feel like I have to mention this cus she gets an entry in the history books only as a widow all too often but she had her own role in motorsport. (she was timing the session Jochen was killed in) - timekeeping was pioneered by women.
