The Hawthorn Memorial Trophy is an annual award honouring the achievements of a British or Commonwealth driver in Formula One motor racing.[1] It was launched on 1 May 1959 by the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) as an appeal for a national memorial for Mike Hawthorn,[2] the racing driver who died in a road accident soon after becoming the first British Formula One World Drivers' Champion in 1958.[3] The award, a gilt and silver trophy on a wooden base created by the Goldsmiths Company freeman K. Lessons,[1][4] is presented to the most successful British or Commonwealth driver of the previous year's Formula One World Championship.[5] The winner was given the trophy at an annual ceremony held in the RAC's headquarters and club in London,[6][7] but Motorsport UK currently presents it at the following year's British Grand Prix at Silverstone Circuit.[8] The award is considered prestigious in the motor racing world.[5][9]

The inaugural winner was the Australian driver Jack Brabham who won the 1959 championship. He went on to win the 1960 title, and thus, became the first competitor to retain the accolade.[1] The first British winner was Stirling Moss in 1961,[10][11] and the inaugural recipient from New Zealand was Denny Hulme after his 1967 championship win.[12] The only Canadian recipient was Jacques Villeneuve following his championship victory in 1997.[13] The least successful winner over the course of a season was Jenson Button, who finished in ninth position in the 2005 season.[14][15] British racers have won the trophy 50 times, followed by Australians with seven victories, New Zealanders with three wins and one Canadian winner. The 2019 recipient was the six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, who has the most wins of any other driver with nine.[16]
