British Formula 1 driver Lando Norris of the McLaren team accidentally broke winner Max Verstappen’s €40,000 porcelain trophy at the award ceremony of Sunday’s Hungaroring race.

After Verstappen received the trophy from Defense Minister Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky, he placed it on the podium for the customary F1 champagne spraying. Norris, who placed second, reproduced his trademark celebration of banging his bottle of champagne off the top step of the podium, only for the reverberations to cause the trophy awarded to the winner to fall and break.

Every year, the Hungaroring trophy presented to the winner is made by 197-year-old porcelain manufacturer Herend, which takes six months of manual labor to complete at an estimated cost of €40,000.
