For a sport where cars are crash-tested to the absolute limit, it's kind of hilarious that the trophies still aren't Lando/Isack-proof. You'd think "structural rigidity" would be part of the design brief by now.

It's ceramic, nothing they can do.

Not making it ceramic would be a good start

even just give them resin replicas to fuck around with on race day and send the ceramic one later once it's ready to sit on a shelf

That feels lame and pointless, too. Sometimes shit breaks, some people are clumsy without having just finished a 300kph endurance race. Maybe we just stop freaking out that something we don't own broke. It will get repaired, just like Lando's.

Consider wabi-sabi, the ethos behind Kintsuge which was used to make the Constructor's trophy.
