Isack Hadjar Comically Breaks His First Ever F1 Trophy During Post Race Celebrations

Isack Hadjar earned Racing Bulls' first podium since 2021 and won the fan-voted Driver of the Day award at the Dutch Grand Prix, despite breaking his delicate, handcrafted trophy.

  • Isack Hadjar, a 20-year-old rookie Racing Bulls driver, secured his first Formula 1 podium by finishing third at the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort on September 1, 2025.
  • Hadjar capitalized on Lando Norris's late-race engine failure and was promoted to third after McLaren's star retired seven laps from the end, surprising many with his composure.
  • He started fourth on the grid, held off challengers Charles Leclerc and George Russell, and earned 15 points to move from 12th to 10th in the drivers' standings.
  • During celebrations, Hadjar accidentally snapped the half-year-crafted, £35,000 Herend Porcelain Manufactory trophy in half, prompting his apology and the creation of a replacement trophy later given to Max Verstappen.
  • Hadjar expressed that reaching the podium was his lifelong target and hopes to build on this breakthrough, while his performances have notably raised his reputation within the paddock.
