Fans widely praised the 2025 United States Grand Prix longhorn-themed trophies
The reveal of the 2025 United States Grand Prix trophies has been met with an overwhelmingly positive response from Formula 1 fans across social media. In a post shared by F1 and the Circuit of The Americas, the three silver longhorn-inspired cups were photographed on the main straight of the iconic circuit, drawing thousands of likes.
The design of the trophies leans hard into the Texas theme, with a stylised longhorn skull set onto a black plinth. Amazingly, the face of the bull is formed from two mirrored outlines of the 5.513-km circuit.

The post was flooded with positive comments.
“Best looking trophies I’ve EVER seen,” a commenter wrote. “Such a unique and creative design. Bravo,” another added. “Okay these are the coolest ones I’ve seen! Texas baby!!!!” read one post, while another simply called them “STUNNING” and “BEAUTIFUL.” Fans went further, labelling them “Best trophy of the season” and “Best looking trophy by a mile this season.”

With the trophies shaped like bulls, it's no surprise that fans have linked them to polesitter Max Verstappen.
“Max’s trophy right in the centre,” one user joked. “A trophy Lando will not be able to break," another quipped.
The design became a talking point in its own right, too.
“Whoever designed these needs a statue in TX,” a commenter wrote, while another said, “Whoever came up with this deserves a raise.”
They came from a collaboration between Bowen Studios' Brent Bowen, ORE Designs' Shane Larsen and F1 LVGP creative director, Ken Ozawa.
