The winners at the 14th Petronas Formula One at the Sepang Circuit next weekend will hold aloft some of the most precious trophies ever seen in Malaysian sport.
Handcrafted in New York by famed silversmith Tiffany & Co, the silver trophies offer a classic look with depictions of the Sepang Circuit as their highlights.
Described as "priceless" by Tiffany & Co Malaysia general manager Maryanne Liow, the trophies each took eight months to craft.
"We are in a three-year partnership as trophy producer for the Sepang International Circuit.
"The trophies for the F1 Malaysian Grand Prix are of classic design with depictions of the circuit carefully engraved in silver," said Maryanne.
"In terms of work, it took eight months to produce each trophy, but if you ask me the price, I would say they are priceless."
Under the three-year agreement, Tiffany & Co also supplies the trophies for the Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix and the Malaysia Merdeka Endurance Race held at the Sepang Circuit.
