Which races do you think have the best and worst trophies?
Worst: Singapore. I don’t think they get much worse than the one from 2011:

2012 Singapore was an improvement, at least it was unique:

2013 Singapore reverted to hideousness:

Another awful design has to be the Eni ones that the gave out at Hungary a few years ago.
Can you imagine putting so much hard work into taking a race victory and the trophy you have to remember it is just a companies logo.
6th October 2013, 10:36 at 10:36 am #242783GeeMacParticipantBritain: It’s a classic design that never changes. And it’s gold, what’s not to like! ;) https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/y_alon_harr_silv_2011.jpg
Hungary: As @cumulonimbus said, its a really unique trophy and it really does stand out in the crowd. The constructors one if pretty cool too! http://www.formula1.com/wi/gi/597×478/oe7a/sutton/2013/d13hun1803.jpg
Australia: I like the steering wheel look. https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/79P5344.jpg.
The worst: Any of those Santander ones…they are an abomination.
6th October 2013, 10:43 at 10:43 am #242784Delta Golf SierraParticipantSantander trophies:
http://db2.stb.s-msn.com/i/A1/46DAF1B973A64D9706B57EC94FF_h498_w598_m2.jpgYeah, those are pretty bad. Very bland. I think those are the second, third, and constructor’s trophies from the British GP. At least the winner gets the nice gold ones. The German GP also has Santander-style trophies:

6th October 2013, 11:21 at 11:21 am #242786Delta Golf SierraParticipantAgreed @force-maikel – a classic track like Spa ought to be giving out better trophies than this:
http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article2220828.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/celebrate-on-the-podium-2220828.jpg6th October 2013, 11:29 at 11:29 am #242787f199playerParticipantWorst one has to be this one from Italy 2004 that looks like a giant cigarette http://www.f1rejects.com/centrale/2004/italy/rotr.jpg
6th October 2013, 11:46 at 11:46 am #242788GeeMacParticipantI forgot about the 2004 Italian GP one, it is ridiculous. It looks like a giant policeman’s baton.
6th October 2013, 11:53 at 11:53 am #242789Lucas WilsonParticipantBeat has to be the Sonic the Hedgehog trophy, Ron dennis’ pride and joy.
6th October 2013, 11:57 at 11:57 am #242790David-AParticipant@full-throttle-f1 Sonic trophy? Is there a picture of it?
6th October 2013, 12:33 at 12:33 pm #242791GeeMacParticipant6th October 2013, 18:16 at 6:16 pm #242792GeorgeParticipantbwahahaha that’s so out of place!
6th October 2013, 20:53 at 8:53 pm #242793Delta Golf SierraParticipantWow, now THAT is a bad trophy! I saw a picture of that while doing Google searches for trophies, and I though it was a joke or a photoshop job. What race was that from?
7th October 2013, 4:19 at 4:19 am #242794GeeMacParticipant1993 European GP. There is a video on the site that pic came from of the podium ceremony, it looked like Senna was given that one to hold up to fulfill the organisers obligation to sponsors Sega, but he was then given a more traditional looking trophy which I think was the “real” one.
7th October 2013, 4:44 at 4:44 am #242795Fisha695ParticipantThat one from Hungary this year looks like something you would put a dead persons ashes in haha.
I think F1 needs to spice it up with some unique trophies like these.
