I think that's the first time I've ever seen the trophies - certainly if I have seen them before then I don't remember it! One of the highlights of the football season is that when, for example, Manchester United finally clinch the Premiership then they are presented with the trophy there are then - or at their next home game or at the final game of the season or whatever. The point being they are presented with it in front of the fans who have supported them to victory over the season. Why the FIA don't present the winners with the relevant trophy as and when it's appropriate at an actual grand prix weekend I'll never know.

It is strange, isn't it, Craig? The presentation of the Premier Division and FA Cups are famous occasions - and everyone interested in football, oops soccer, knows what they look like. But F1 hides it away in private gala for the rich in a place like Monaco. Maybe it's still a sport for the elite... The only reason I know the trophies exist is because I stumbled upon the photos when I was doing some searching on the FIA website a few months ago. And that's after over forty years of following the sport.

I think you'd have to ask Fernando Alonso that one, Neil - he would be the last to have held the thing! You'd have a bit of a job drinking from it though, with those wide rims. Get most of it in your face, I think.
