Another mishap for McLaren as trophy shatters into a thousand pieces

On track, they have no rivals, but clearly McLaren seems to struggle when it comes to handling the trophies they earn after their wins.

At Silverstone, the papaya team’s home race, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri showcased yet another dominant performance this season.

Norris capitalized on the penalty handed to his teammate following the controversial Safety Car incident, claiming his first victory in front of the packed stands filled with his fans.

While the Australian appeared visibly upset and sullen after the race over a penalty he felt was unfair, the Brit burst with joy as soon as he stepped out of the car, raising the winner’s LEGO trophy high above his head with a huge grin on his face.

Unfortunately, once again, McLaren returned home with a damaged trophy—though this time it’s repairable. After accidentally snapping Max Verstappen’s winner’s cup in half in Hungary two years ago, at least this time Norris can claim he wasn’t involved.

This time, the culprit behind the damage is Peter Prodromou, a longtime figure within the team led by Andrea Stella and Zak Brown, and the mastermind behind the lightning-fast MCL39 that’s dominating the championship.

A fan in the stands captured the moment, showing the Greek engineer desperately trying to gather all 2,717 LEGO bricks.
