“So when Montreal’s own Jean-Philippe Caron and his company, [Protocole](http://www.protocole.ca/en/), were given the mandate of conceiving the trophies for the 50th Canadian Formula 1 Grand Prix, they didn’t merely design them to meet FIA’s regulations, nor did they outsource the job to some cheap, foreign-built trophy maker. Instead, they baked those regulations into a unique, magnificently built, home-inspired creation. The end result, it must be said, is among one of the most intelligently built sculptures to have ever been crafted for a motorsport event.” [VIA.](https://jalopnik.com/the-fascinating-process-that-turned-maple-and-carbon-fi-1795786068)
