FIA FORMULA 1® First Place Driver Trophy for Abu Dhabi, 2023
The Abu Dhabi Trophy draws inspiration from the majestic Peregrine Falcon, revered as the national bird of prey in the Middle East, a symbol of dignity, valour and pride and the fastest animal on the planet. The graceful body of the falcon is framed by two wings, crafted to capture the falcon in flight, diving through a vortex with Tiger’s Eye gemstones set into its eyes. It reflects the aerodynamics of a racing car. Every year there are small incremental changes to the design which can only be seen in proximity, creating an instantly recognisable Abu Dhabi F1® Grand Prix Trophy.

FORMULA 1® Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Trophy 2024
In 2024, Fox Silver celebrated its 19th year of crafting the Bahrain Trophy. The design came from a collaboration between Nigel Gray, Creative Partner and Founder at Interstate and Richard Fox. A more traditional cup form with two handles, the centre of the trophy features the emblem of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The chased design around the lid and base symbolises the convergence of the two seas that surround it in the Persian Gulf. The logo of the Bahrain International Circuit is repeated four times to form the pattern top and bottom in gold, accentuated by mother-of-pearl studs against a backdrop of red and white, reminiscent of the Bahrain flag.

FORMULA 1® First Place Drivers’ STC Trophy for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, 2024
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix Trophy design draws from various elements that hold cultural and architectural significance for the race, which is held in Jeddah each year. It takes inspiration from the historic Al Balad district, a UNESCO World Heritage site renowned for its intricate latticework on the windows and balconies of the buildings. As a contemporary reference, the outer support is abstracted from the architecture of the KAPSARC mosque in Riyadh, designed by the late Zaha Hadid. The design also features a royal crest, a mother of pearl central element. The crown represents the palms of the region.

FIA FORMULA 1® World Championship Drivers’ Trophy, 1995
Awarded to the World Champion Driver annually at the FIA Gala, this trophy represents the highest accolade for a driver. Commissioned by Bernie Ecclestone in 1995, the brief for this iconic trophy was that it should last 100 years and feature retrospectively the signatures of all the winning drivers since the start of the championship. Starting with Giuseppe Farina in 1950, the list of world champions names and signatures flow in a spiral from the bottom of the trophy between victors’ laurels, with every revolution representing a decade of winners culminating in an enamelled globe. The base features a circle of vitreous enamel laurels, carved by Serena Fox and enamelled by Keith Seldon.
