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.

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.

That looks not so accidental to me. I have just seen this clip and based on what I know of their relationship it would be surprising to say the least, but it looks like he just hulk smashed the bottle right into it as a fuck you.
He didn't hit the trophy, he hit the platform which made the trophy fall over. If he hulk smashed the top of the trophy that way it wouldn't have gently toppled over, it would've shot off to the side in multiple pieces.
It's a move he does all the time. In the post race show they said he also did it and knocked over a trophy at Silverstone, but it didn't break that time. Don't think it was intentional, he just always opens the bottle by hitting the podium, but this time the trophy was fragile.
