Seriously.
I know it's freakin' boring to read every single blog talking about F1 this and F1 that. But I just have to mention this. Is it just me, or the trophy is embarrassingly ugly? I don't understand. Singapore is so kiasu. Must win in everything. And then come up with the crappiest stuff ever. *Rolls eyes*
Have ya seen the barriers? They are as thick as the concrete slabs at the side of the road. Why no thick tyre barriers like other countries? I seriously don't think that the pathetic looking barrier is gonna cushion a racecar going over 200kph while crashing into it.
Coming back to the trophy..
Read this article.
Seriously?
"So I walked around aimlessly on the streets, looking at people and things for inspiration and it helped." - as quoted by Zulkifle, designer behind the trophy
Maybe I can't appreciate nice art, maybe I'm stupid. Maybe I'm just way over my head. But cut up some exhaust pipes, poke them into a steering wheel mounted on a wooden base, and then painting it F1 colours... Wow, that was an absolutely brilliant idea! How inspiring!

Naaw it isn't just you. That is indeed a very very ugly trophy!
Think the designer tried too hard to make something different/unique. He forgot that the main purpose of a trophy is to look grand.
A trophy that isn't grand shouldn't even be called a trophy. Hahaha...
