How the Autosport Young Driver Award winner gets chosen

This Sunday, the latest winner of our young driver Award will be announced. Here's how the team of judges assessed the four British hopefuls that made the final of the 2019 Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year Award

Autosport Awards

The Autosport Awards are a series of awards presented by motor racing magazine Autosport to drivers that have achieved significant milestones each season. Some of the presentations are selected by the general public via a reader's poll.

Autosport's search for the best young British driving talent has been pretty successful over the past 30 years.

David Coulthard became the inaugural Award winner in 1989, with an on-track shootout between a selected group of finalists arriving the following year. Since then, winners have included 2009 Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button, three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti, 2014 World Endurance champion Anthony Davidson, and current F1 stars George Russell and Lando Norris.
