I also attached a video of all 3 Macarena wings (that we have seen so far) in action from this post

"The three drivers who will step onto the podium on Sunday, together with a representative of the winning team, will celebrate the outcome of the race by lifting FRAGILE, a trophy conceived as a work of art by the artist duo vedovamazzei.

The Italian Grand Prix trophy is commissioned each year from Italian artists as part of a multy-year project, now in its sixth edition, initiated by Pirelli, the race’s title sponsor, in collaboration with the Pirelli HangarBicocca Museum of Contemporary Art.

For the 2026 edition, the commission was awarded to vedovamazzei, the duo formed by Stella Scala and Simeone Crispino, whose artistic practice combines irony with an ability to capture the contradictions and complexities of reality. Their works often reinterpret everyday objects, highlighting the world’s paradoxical aspects."

This is Stunning!

This is a companion article to the latest Race podcast, in which they take aim at the newer fans using overly simplistic and uninformed terms like "washed" to describe drivers whose style doesn't mesh with the current configuration of cars. The same people who declared Hamilton and Norris washed last year are doing it for Piastri and Russell. Alonso's words, about how new fans don't understand F1 and distill it down to team sports analogies that don't fit, are made especially relevant by rule change years.

The narrative around F1 has - utterly coincidentally - gotten worse since Covid helped grow the sports popularity, but seeing last year's drivers who were written off thriving and drivers who were praised last year being declared washed is a dizzying ride into thoughtless oblivion.
