Lando Norris, determined not to repeat past mistakes, secured victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix by fending off his teammate Oscar Piastri. Before stepping onto the podium, Norris playfully inscribed a champagne bottle with the message, “Don’t break the trophy!”
Reflecting on a previous incident where he accidentally knocked over a trophy, Norris took extra care this time. He placed his trophy safely aside before celebrating with champagne, ensuring no mishaps occurred.
Fans lauded Norris for his caution, noting his careful handling of the trophies and his gesture of safeguarding Piastri’s award. The porcelain trophies, meticulously crafted by Herend artists over six months at a cost of £35,000, hold significant cultural value to the Hungarians.
Expressing remorse for the earlier incident, Norris apologized to Max Verstappen and the creators of the trophy, emphasizing his respect for Hungarian culture. In a bid to avoid future mishaps, Norris pledged to be more vigilant with trophies in the future.
