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.[1] The award, named after the Italian driver Lorenzo Bandini, who died three days after suffering severe burns in a major accident at the,[2] was established by Francesco Asirelli and Tiziano Samorè of the Brisighella commune in 1992.[3] 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,[4] is awarded for "a commendable performance in motorsport". This is not based on race results, but on how the success was achieved,[5] as well as the recipient's character and approach to racing. Each recipient is honoured for their achievements over the course of the previous year. The recipient is selected by a panel of 12 judges composed of motor racing journalists and former Formula One team members.[6] Previously, the winner was decided by a vote from the residents of Brisighella. The winner is honoured at a ceremony in Bandini's home town of Brisighella in Emilia-Romagna by the Associazione Trofeo Lorenzo Bandini.[7]

In the motor racing world, the accolade is considered highly prestigious.[8] Ivan Capelli, an Italian driver, was the inaugural winner in 1992. 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. 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), the marque's vice-chairman Piero Ferrari (2013), 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.[9] The accolade has been given to two racing teams: the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team for winning the World Constructors' Championship with a V6 engine coupled with hybrid technology (2015), and Scuderia Ferrari to commemorate the 70th anniversary of its establishment (2017). It has been presented to Italian individuals and teams ten times, German and British competitors and constructors four times apiece.[10] The 2024 winner was the Mercedes Formula One driver George Russell.[7]
