30 years of McLaren Autosport BRDC Award

The McLaren Autosport BRDC Award has searched for the next British Formula 1 star for three decades. As the scheme moves into a new era from 2019, we look back at the winners' achievements and experiences

For 30 years, the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award has searched for the next British Formula 1 star. McLaren will no longer be part of the Award from 2019, so it's time to look back at the past three decades with the winners.

Autosport's Peter Foubister and then-McLaren boss Ron Dennis introduced the Award in 1989. David Coulthard was the inaugural victor and winners have since racked up more than 600 F1 starts, an F1 world title, a World Endurance crown, three DTM titles and an Indianapolis 500 hat-trick, to name just some of the successes.
