It hardly ever happens, but it has now happened to Red Bull Racing twice in a row in 2023. The Trophy that Max Verstappen won with his Belgian GP victory is already broken, as is the one won in Hungary.
Red Bull back home with broken trophy
In Hungary, it was Lando Norris' champagne trick that caused the trophy Verstappen had won to fall off the podium and break. It was a witty moment, to which the drivers and the team could be heard laughing on social media. With the most recent trophy won by the team, things went wrong again. Red Bull and Verstappen are not just grabbing win streaks, they are now demolishing trophies one after the other.
The Belgian trophy fell at Red Bull's traditional photo moment. Upon uncorking the champagne, team members run apart to avoid the champagne shower. In the commotion, the time board fell over and that knocked over the trophy. In the videos below, you see what happened and how the team then tried to repair the trophy again. Verstappen is visibly enjoying it: "It has broken again!"
