Why Pirelli had to fly in emergency F1 trophies for the United States GP

The podium finishers at the United States Grand Prix were due to lift unique trophies, but Pirelli was forced to make a last-minute change due to a possible copyright infringement. Therefore, Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, and Max Verstappen received alternative trophies for their efforts in Austin. Leclerc lifted a more traditional style trophy, while Sainz and Verstappen received miniature tyres.
