Hamilton wins Hawthorn Trophy for 11th time
Baku, January 24, AZERTAC
Lewis Hamilton has been awarded the Hawthorn Memorial Trophy for the 11th time in his career, according to RaceFans.
Despite missing out on the Formula 1 world championship for the first time in five years, Hamilton continued his streak of Hawthorn Memorial Trophy wins, taking his eighth in a row. The prize is named in honour of Britain’s first world champion, Mike Hawthorn, who died shortly after claiming the 1958 title
The prize is awarded to the Commonwealth driver who achieves the best result in the F1 world championship. It was announced at Motorsport UK’s Night of Champions event at the Royal Automobile Club in London.
Hamilton has now won the trophy 11 times in his 15-year F1 career. He missed out in 2009 and 2011 when Jenson Button won and in 2010 and 2013 when Mark Webber triumphed. He already holds the record for most wins which was previously held by Nigel Mansell, with seven.
