Career

Hawkins made her professional motorsport debut in British Formula Ford at Silverstone, in a one-off event where she twice finished inside the top ten. ^[5] Her strong rookie performance saw her being picked up by Falcon Motorsport to contest the 2015 MSA Formula Championship. ^[6] She had to wait until the fourth round of the championship at Oulton Park to make her debut, and only completed half of the ten-round championship – finishing 11th twice and placing 23rd in the championship. ^{[7] [8]} She entered the Bahrain round of the 2015–16 MRF Challenge but finished 15th in both races. ^[9]

She also made a one-off return to the BTCC at Snetterton, replacing Andy Neate having elected to sit out the event, with a best finish of 21st in three races. ^[16]

In September 2023, Hawkins tested the Aston Martin AMR21 over 26 laps at Hungaroring, becoming the first female driver to test an F1 car since Tatiana Calderón with Sauber in 2018. ^[17] In November, Aston Martin announced that Hawkins' role within the team will be extended as the team's head of racing for F1 Academy, where she is working with Aston Martin's F1 Academy representative Tina Hausmann. ^[18]
