Lando Norris smashes Max Verstappen’s F1 winners' trophy during Hungarian GP podium celebrations
Reigning world champion Verstappen claimed his seventh consecutive victory at the Hungaroring as Red Bull set a new F1 record by winning 12 successive grands pri𝓀x.
Norris held off the second Red Bull of Sergio Perez to take runner-up spot for the second race on the bounce, but had an embarrassing𝐆 gaffe during the post-race celebrations.
During the McLaren driver’s trademark podium celebration of smashing his champagne bottle on the base of the podium, Verstappen’s trophy ꦅfell off the top step and smashed into several pieces.
Shortly afterwards, Norrisඣ and Verstappen were seen looking at the wreck, with the Briton struggling to contain his laughter.
🐽Verstappen picked up the remains of the homemade porcelꦇain trophy as he left the podium laughing.
Asked what had happened during the post-race FIA press conference, Norris🌞 sheepishly responded: "Um, yeah, I’m not sure, Max just placed it too close to the edge!
To which, Ve💜rstappen said: "I’m going to take it off next time to protect it."
Norris added: "Yeah just hold it! I don’t know, it fell over I guess? Not my problem, it’s 𝔉𒅌his!"
