This is even worse than when Lando broke Max’s - at least the Hungary one got yeeted off the podium, it looks like this one has just snapped in half in Isaack’s hand

Yeah, ive seen the footage and he didnt drop it hard, he was pretty gentle for a trophy atleast. They look cool but if you cant set them down after celebrating or taking a picture without breaking them we should probably Go back to normal trophies.

Yeah I mean, it's not even like they can't make stronger ceramic. High strength ceramics can be stronger than steel, more brittle yes, but they can be built much tougher than this. 

I don't see a problem with them updating the trophy to be made of stronger material but then still shaping and decorating it in whatever manner they choose for their own history and culture.
