I seem to have fucked up the answer.

Imagine spending 4 months of your life making a trophy just to see it get smashed. Not only that but the recipient and smasher just don’t care that it broke. Link to Post

Well, sorry for the manufacturer, but I wouldn't blame Lando or Max for that.

Organizers shouldn't use something like that for a trophy.

That's one of the coolest and most iconic trophies on the calendar.

Silverstone for example had a shitty faux-carbon fibre trophy that survived the fall but it's really nothing special. They probably spent like £500 on it and it's forgettable.

If you have the chance to visit one of the F1 teams the Hungary trophies really stand out as actual works of art.
