Vettel complains about Hungarian GP trophy

Quite like Lewis Hamilton did last year at the British Grand Prix not having the historic trophies, Sebastian Vettel has complained after his win about not having the same at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

There has been a wave of traditionalism which has now gone through the sport, first with Lewis and then the changes to the national anthems at the start of the race.

“In all honestly, I’m a little bit disappointed because we didn’t have the traditional Hungarian trophy with the porcelain on the podium today,” said Vettel.

“So, 99.8 per cent happy. I was looking forward to that – not that I have a crush on porcelain or a weakness for porcelain but I think it belongs to this grand prix.

“I think 2010 I was very close to win and did a stupid mistake and then we had this very ugly – I’m not saying the brand – dog with four legs, or five legs, or six, I don’t even know – then they went back to the porcelain one, now they’ve gone back to something else!

“Obviously it’s great to win but not entirely perfect. I’ve always liked this track. Great to see so many fans, a lot of German flags, a lot of Germans and Austrians coming to support… I guess a little bit less Austrians this year… supporting me but therefore a lot of Italian and Ferrari flags around, so it was great.

“I’m very, very happy to tick this box finally.”
