Max Verstappen continued his impressive dominance in Formula 1 by securing his first victory at the Shanghai International Circuit in the Chinese Grand Prix. While the weekend initially presented challenges for Red Bull, Verstappen’s skill and determination shone through during the sprint race and qualifying.
On Sunday’s Grand Prix, the Dutch driver showcased his exceptional talent, cruising to a comfortable victory. Following Verstappen’s triumph, Red Bull mechanics devised a peculiar way to commemorate the moment.
Social media users spotted images of the Milton Keynes team engaging in hula hooping with the Chinese GP trophy itself! According to Twitter user @scuderiafemboy, the mechanics utilized the circular trophy for their unusual celebration.
The Chinese GP trophy, designed by Pininfarina, was a unique piece that paid homage to the laurel wreaths worn by race winners in the past. It also featured sensors that triggered the trophy to illuminate when worn around the neck.
Red Bull’s mechanics found a novel way to have fun with the distinctive trophy, leaving fans amused and speculating about the reasons behind their unconventional celebration.
Some fans suggested that the team might be running out of space to store their growing collection of trophies. Others jokingly referenced Lando Norris’s fondness for Red Bull’s trophies, adding to the lighthearted atmosphere surrounding the team’s victory celebration.
