Max Verstappen left in disbelief as his F1 winner’s trophy is BROKEN again for a second

Max Verstappen has been left stunned after his Belgian Grand Prix trophy was damaged during a Red Bull team photo.

The incident comes just one week after Lando Norris cracked his award from the Hungarian GP whilst celebrating on the podium.

In a clip posted by Red Bull Racing on social media, the Dutchman can be seen posing alongside his team with the trophy from his victory at the Spa Francorchamps precariously placed in front of them.

A countdown from behind the camera begins, leading to some members of the team begin spraying cans of the team’s energy drink namesake, leading to some of the group racing forward to avoid the mist.

After scurrying to safety, Verstappen looks back in disbelief as it emerges his trophy had been damaged in the chaos before shouting: ‘It’s broken again, the trophy is broken again!’

The blunder marks yet another trophy damaged while in his possession, though he could hardly be blamed for last week’s mishap.

Joined on the podium by Norris and Sergio Perez at the Hungaroring, Verstappen drenched his teammate in fizz while Norris elected to try and use the Dutchman’s trophy as a makeshift bottle opener.

Unsurprisingly however, the gong failed to withstand Norris slamming his champagne bottle into it, and was later seen snapped in half on the floor.

Though he may be struggling to keep his titles safe, Verstappen’s run of dominance this season has shown no signs of slowing down.

Despite being hit with a five-place grid penalty in Stavelot for exceeding his gearbox allowance for the season, Verstappen triumphed for the third consecutive year at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday.

The result marked Verstappen’s eighth-consecutive victory, leaving him within touching distance of  Sebastian Vettel’s record of nine set during in 2013, opening the possibility of a record-equalling opportunity on home soil at next month’s Dutch Grand Prix.

Victory also sees Verstappen’s lead at the top of the drivers standings move to 125 points, with a third-world title win now more a matter of when rather than if for the 25-year-old.
