Lewis Hamilton was presented the Hawthorn Memorial Trophy by MSA Chief Executive Rob Jones at Silverstone on Thursday 7 July 2016, ahead of the British Grand Prix. It is the second year in a row that Hamilton has been awarded the Hawthorn Trophy and the 5th time in total.
The Hawthorn Memorial Trophy is awarded each year to the most successful British or Commonwealth driver in the previous year’s FIA Formula One World Drivers’ Championship. It was first presented by the Hawthorn family in memory of Mike Hawthorn, who became Britain's first F1 champion in 1958 but tragically died a year later.
