F1: Norris smashes Verstappen’s unique artwork trophy, generous offer received

Max Verstappen was presented with a special handmade Herendi trophy after his Hungarian Grand Prix victory on Sunday, but as we reported, Lando Norris smashed the unique relic. The CEO of Herendi Porcelánmanufaktúra Ltd, Attila Simon, announced on M4 Sport that the trophy would be replaced.

This time, the Formula One Hungarian Grand Prix podium winners were again presented with beautiful Herendi porcelains after the race. However, once the champagne was served, they completely forgot about the elaborate pieces placed on the podium steps. Second place Lando Norris, as usual, shook the champagne by knocking it against the podium and the winning trophy fell off its place and shattered into pieces.

The McLaren team apologised for their driver’s behaviour.

The first prize Herendi porcelain was made by 30 people over six months and has an estimated value of €40,000. As Red Bull displays all their trophies in their Milton Keynes showcase, they would have been forced to order a similar one, but a generous announcement was made by the porcelain manufacturer.
