The Lorenzo Bandini Trophy (Italian : Trofeo Lorenzo Bandini) is an annual award honouring an individual or team for their achievements in Formula One motor racing. [3] The award, named after the Italian driver Lorenzo Bandini, who died three days after suffering severe burns in a major accident at the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix, [4] was established by Francesco Asirelli and Tiziano Samorè of the Brisighella commune in 1992. [5] The accolade's trophy, a ceramic replica of Bandini's Ferrari 312/67 car adorned with the number 18 created by the ceramist Goffredo Gaeta, [6] [7] is awarded for "a commendable performance in motorsport". [1] This is not based on race results, but on how the success was achieved, [8] as well as the recipient's character and approach to racing. [9] Each recipient is honoured for their achievements over the course of the previous year. [5] The recipient is selected by a panel of 12 judges composed of motor racing journalists and former Formula One team members. [10] Previously, the winner was decided by a vote from the residents of Brisighella. [4] The winner is honoured at a ceremony in Bandini's home town of Brisighella in Emilia-Romagna by the Associazione Trofeo Lorenzo Bandini. [lower-alpha 1] [10] [2]

In the motor racing world, the accolade is considered highly prestigious. [3] [13] Ivan Capelli, an Italian driver, was the inaugural winner in 1992. [14] No award was given in each of 1993 and 1994 and no-one has won more than once because drivers are only allowed to be a named a recipient just once to give other racers the opportunity to win it. [5] [14] Although the accolade is usually awarded to racing drivers for their achievements from the previous season, it has been awarded to four racing team members: the Ferrari president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo (1997), [14] the marque's vice-chairman Piero Ferrari (2013), [15] the Formula One CEO Stefano Domenicali and the Aprilia MotoGP CEO Massimo Rivola (2021); the latter two are the only joint recipients of the trophy in a calendar year. [16] The accolade has been given to two racing teams: [1] [7] the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team for winning the World Constructors' Championship with a V6 engine coupled with hybrid technology (2015), [1] and Scuderia Ferrari to commemorate the 70th anniversary of its establishment (2017). [7] It has been presented to Italian individuals and teams ten times, German and British competitors and constructors four times apiece. [14] The 2024 winner was the Mercedes Formula One driver George Russell. [2]
