Under the neon glow of the Strip, the winning driver of the FORMULA 1® LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2025 was awarded what has already become one of the most coveted symbols of the weekend: the trophy housed inside Louis Vuitton’s custom Trophy Trunk, presented to Max Verstappen and the Red Bull Racing team. The moment marked the 22nd race of the season and the 23rd Trophy Trunk created under the storied partnership between Louis Vuitton and Formula 1®.

Designed expressly for Formula 1®’s return to Las Vegas, the Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk embodies everything the Maison stands for — heritage, precision, and artistry — and it was showcased throughout the evening: from the starting grid to the national anthem to the final podium moment where Verstappen claimed his win.

For this year’s race, Louis Vuitton also unveiled a dynamic new trunk featuring a vivid, reimagined LV graphic inspired by the electric pulse of Las Vegas nights. The custom design draws from the visual heat and velocity of the strip’s racetrack, honoring the Maison’s belief that “Victory Travels in Louis Vuitton.”

Across its history, Louis Vuitton has cared for the world’s most prized sporting icons, entrusted with transporting everything from America’s Cup trophies to the FIFA World Cup, the NBA Championship, the League of Legends Worlds trophy, Roland-Garros, the Rugby World Cup, the Ballon d’Or, and more. The Las Vegas Grand Prix now joins that lineage — a celebration of speed, style, and triumph, sealed with Vuitton’s unmistakable savoir-faire.

Since 1854, the Maison has shaped its legacy on craftsmanship and visionary design, evolving from trunks to ready-to-wear, accessories, watches, jewelry, beauty, and more. The Trophy Trunk stands as a reminder: even in the world’s fastest sport, artistry still sets the pace.

Formula 1®, founded in 1950, remains the pinnacle of motorsport — and in Las Vegas, the partnership between F1 and Louis Vuitton once again proved that when heritage meets high-speed modernity, the result is pure spectacle.
