Kimi Antonelli Wins 2026 Miami Grand Prix as Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk Marks Victory

Kimi Antonelli won the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2026, taking victory for Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team in the fourth race of the season. He received the trophy in a Louis Vuitton Trophy Trunk, part of the brand’s ongoing partnership with Formula 1.

The trunk by Louis Vuitton appeared throughout the weekend. It was on the starting grid, present during the national anthem, and used again on the podium as Antonelli was awarded the trophy.

This year, Louis Vuitton introduced a Victory patch on its Formula 1 Trophy Trunks. The patch is inspired by travel stickers and includes the winner’s initials. After the race, Antonelli’s initials were added alongside those of Oscar Piastri, who won in Miami in 2025.

Louis Vuitton branding was also visible around the circuit, with custom signage placed on barriers and track sections during the race weekend. The partnership marks the brand’s second season as an Official Partner of Formula 1.

The collaboration is part of Louis Vuitton’s long involvement in major sporting events. Since working with the America’s Cup in 1983, the brand has created trophy trunks for competitions including the FIFA World Cup, the NBA Finals, and the Olympic Games.

Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton continues to produce travel goods, fashion, and accessories, maintaining its focus on craftsmanship and design.
