Racing Bulls rookie Isack Hadjar made headlines this weekend for both his racing achievement and his oops moment with a trophy.

Hadjar claimed his maiden Formula 1 podium finish at the Dutch Grand Prix on Sunday, finishing third after a commanding drive at Zandvoort. 

The 20-year-old Frenchman held off fierce pressure from Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Mercedes' George Russell, and capitalised on Lando Norris’ late-race retirement to secure the final podium spot - becoming the youngest French driver in F1 history to do so.

Hadjar now sits a remarkable tenth in the Drivers' Championship, ahead of Fernando Alonso and comfortably leading teammate Liam Lawson. 

There was a bit of a déjà vu moment with a trophy though...

While posing for team photos, he gently set down the handmade ceramic trophy, which promptly snapped at the neck...mirroring Lando Norris’ infamous trophy-breaking moment in Hungary 2023. 

The one-of-a-kind Delft Blue trophy, hand-painted by Royal Delft, is reportedly irreplaceable, though a spare (unpainted) version may serve as a stand-in.

"Extreme sports, porcelain? Probably not a great idea. That's an accident waiting to happen..."
