Kimi Antonelli Wins the 2026 Miami Grand Prix in Luxury

There’s no better accessory to a victory than a Louis Vuitton trunk. On May 3, 2026, Kimi Antonelli crossed the finish line at the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix and received his trophy exactly as it should be — presented in Louis Vuitton’s bespoke Trophy Trunk, purpose-built to protect and showcase one of motorsport’s most coveted prizes. It was a moment that said everything about where Formula 1 and luxury meet right now.

The 2026 Miami Grand Prix marked the fourth race of the season and Louis Vuitton’s second year as an Official Partner of Formula 1. The Trophy Trunk was present throughout the weekend’s most significant moments — on the starting grid, during the national anthem ceremony, and on the podium as Antonelli accepted his win. For a Maison that has built its legacy on the idea that the journey matters as much as the destination, the symbolism is never lost.

New this season is the Victory patch — a detail that is small in scale and significant in meaning. Inspired by traditional travel stickers, each patch is marked with the winner’s initials and added to the trunk after the race, building a permanent record of the drivers who have shaped each Grand Prix’s history. Antonelli’s initials now sit alongside those of Oscar Piastri, who claimed Miami’s honors in 2025. It is the kind of considered detail that Louis Vuitton does better than anyone — turning an object into an archive.

Louis Vuitton’s presence extended beyond the podium this year, with specially designed creative signage featured across barriers and throughout sections of the Miami circuit, reinforcing the Official Partnership in a way that felt integrated rather than incidental.

To no surprise, this is well-trodden territory for the Maison. Since its first partnership with the America’s Cup in 1983, Louis Vuitton has been entrusted with the trophies and prizes of the world’s most prestigious competitions — from the FIFA World Cup and the Paris 2024 Olympics to the Ballon d’Or, the Australian Open, and the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco. The throughline across all of it is the same conviction that has defined Louis Vuitton from the beginning: that excellence deserves to travel well. In Miami this weekend, it did exactly that.
