Red Bull Racing star Max Verstappen's trophy cabinet is back at full strength.
The two-time world champion finally got his hands on the replacement trophy for the 2023 Hungarian Grand Prix winner.
The original trophy was notably shattered after McLaren driver Lando Norris smashed his champagne bottle on the platform during the podium celebrations, causing the porcelain hardware to fall off the ramp.
The Red Bull and McLaren drivers laughed off the incident.

Verstappen and Norris, known best friends, went together to pick up the replacement trophy more than a month after the incident.
Norris hilariously posed for a selfie, holding a makeshift invoice for the hardware.

Hungarian Grand Prix trophy made by historic company
The two F1 drivers posed for a picture with Attila Simon, the CEO of Herendi Porcelanmanufaktura Zrt (Herend Porcelain Manufactory), the Hungarian company responsible for producing the trophy.
The company has existed since 1826 and served as a seller of porcelain products to powerful European dynasties and aristocrats during the 19th century.
The handmade Hungarian Grand Prix winner's trophy is valued at around $45,000.
The Dutchman is looking to break the Formula 1 record for most consecutive wins as he aims for his tenth victory in a row this weekend in Monza for the Italian Grand Prix.
