The trophies integrated XIAO ESP32-S3-controlled lighting systems inside traditional Royal Delft ceramic bodies, featuring custom light animations including ignition-style flickering and slow breathing light cycles, symbolizing the acceleration, rhythm, and ongoing energy of Formula 1 racing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, the dress was the designer&#8217;s answer to a question the trophy couldn&#8217;t address: what would it look like to wear the race, rather than just win it?<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e961565 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e961565\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"scroll6aa7f74b3dd2a\"  class=\"scrollMagicControl\" type=\"hidden\" effect = {} wpmp_enable_desktop=\"yes\" wpmp_enable_tablet=\"yes\" wpmp_enable_mobile=\"yes\" wpmp_trigger_hook=\"0.5\" wpmp_reverse=\"yes\" wpmp_class_CSS =\"custom\" split-text = {} value=\"scrollmagic\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-133322\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1-300x89.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1-1030x306.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1-768x228.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1-32x10.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/home-banner-F1-1920x600-1-1280x380-1-1024x304.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6339bac elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6339bac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span id=\"scroll6aa7f74b3e542\"  class=\"scrollMagicControl\" type=\"hidden\" effect = {} wpmp_enable_desktop=\"yes\" wpmp_enable_tablet=\"yes\" wpmp_enable_mobile=\"yes\" wpmp_trigger_hook=\"0.5\" wpmp_reverse=\"yes\" wpmp_class_CSS =\"custom\" split-text = {} value=\"scrollmagic\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final Royal Delft trophy collection.

When the cars are racing around Zandvoort, the cars on the dress are racing at the same time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mapping is per-car, not an ambient effect. The software reads the data stream \u2014 essentially asking which car is where on the circuit at this moment \u2014 and places each one at its matching point in the LED chain. Each car carries its own visual identity, too:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Max Verstappen<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 magenta, highly visible<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>McLaren<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 orange<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mercedes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 blinking turquoise<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ferrari<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 red<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Audi \u2014 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">blinking red, etc. etc.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All 22 cars on the grid carry their own colour, so teams and drivers stay distinguishable as they move through the race.
