Oscar Piastri jokes about LEGO trophy at Silverstone: “How does it feel to get one you can take apart?”. Oscar Piastri jokes about the LEGO trophies awarded at the British Grand Prix in Silverstone.

During the post-race press conference following the 2025 Formula 1 British Grand Prix, Australian driver Oscar Piastri couldn’t help but joke about the unusual podium trophies awarded at Silverstone. Together with race winner Lando Norris and third-place finisher Nico Hülkenberg, the McLaren driver lightheartedly criticized the LEGO-designed trophies handed out to the top three finishers.

The British Grand Prix ended with Lando Norris taking a popular home victory in front of the Silverstone crowd, followed by Oscar Piastri in second place and Nico Hülkenberg in third, marking the German’s first-ever career podium in Formula 1. To celebrate the occasion, the trophies for the top three were crafted entirely from LEGO bricks—2,717 bricks to be exact—and were inspired by the classic RAC trophy. Each weighed just over two kilograms.

The first-place trophy, awarded to Lando Norris, featured a gold design with brown highlights. The second-place version, given to Oscar Piastri, was white with silver detailing and a red stripe, while the third-place trophy received by Nico Hülkenberg was identical in style but with a blue stripe instead.

Clearly still frustrated by the time penalty that had cost him a potential victory, Oscar Piastri couldn’t resist teasing Nico Hülkenberg about his long-awaited podium moment. In a cheeky comment directed at the Sauber driver, Oscar Piastri asked, “How does it feel, after 15 years in Formula 1, to finally get a podium—and a trophy made of LEGO that you can take apart?”

The comment drew laughter from both Lando Norris and Nico Hülkenberg, who took the joke in stride. Hülkenberg responded, “Mmh, yeah. I love LEGO,” prompting more laughter from the McLaren duo.

The Sauber driver then added, “They’re nice, though. Now my daughter can play with it too,” acknowledging the playful design of the prize.

Oscar Piastri followed up with a touch of sarcasm, saying, “They really thought of you. They made it specifically for you.”

Despite the good-natured teasing, Hülkenberg concluded on a positive note, saying, “I try to see the bright side. Some silver or gold would have been nice, but I’m not going to complain.”

The humorous exchange underscored the light-hearted mood among the podium finishers—despite the unpredictable weather, close racing, and strategic drama that had unfolded on track just hours before.
