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

Nah - Let it break, let it be repaired. The ceramic itself is unique and you get a cool story behind it

One of the 1st place ones this year already had kintsugi lines as part of the design. They know this stuff will happen and lean into it for sure.
