Okay, so, let’s talk about the F1 Grand Prix trophy for 2023. I’ve been following Formula One for years, and this year’s race at Imola got me thinking. The official name is the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, cool name right?
So first, I started by digging up some info on this year’s trophy. I mean, who wouldn’t want a closer look at that beauty? I scoured through some F1 fan pages and forums, where people were talking about the design and all that. There is a lot of discussions about the trophy. They said the design is modern or vintage, looks simple or not, heavy or not, etc.
Then, I decided to sketch out the trophy myself. Grabbed my notebook and pencil and started drawing. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. Getting all those curves and angles right took some time. I messed up a few times, erased, and redrew until I was somewhat happy with it.
My Notes
After sketching, I jotted down some notes on the materials. From what I could gather, it looked like a mix of metal and maybe some carbon fiber. Here’s what I noted:
- Main Body: Looks like polished metal, probably aluminum or something similar.
- Base: This part seems darker, might be carbon fiber, or a dark metal.
- Details: There are some intricate details, maybe laser-etched or something. It’s hard to tell.
Next, I tried to find out who designed the trophy. No luck there, it’s a bit of a mystery. Usually, they have some famous designer or artist, but this time, I couldn’t find any info.
I even tried 3D modeling the trophy, just for fun. I’m not a pro at 3D modeling, but I gave it a shot. Used some basic software and tried to recreate the shape. It was rough, really rough, but it was a fun little experiment.
Finally, I compared my sketch and 3D model with some high-resolution photos of the trophy. It was cool to see how close (or not so close) I got. It is interesting that the trophy looks very different from different angles.
So, that’s my little adventure with the 2023 F1 Grand Prix trophy. I learned a bit about design, materials, and how hard it is to draw a complex object! And it just happened on May 19, not so long ago.
