Hawthorn Memorial Trophy

 * Nominator(s): MWright96 (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Here is another Formula One Award being put up for nomination by yours truly, the Hawthorn Memorial Trophy. The award is presented to the most successful British or Commonwealth driver over the course of Formula One season and has been won by many of the sport's famous names. I believe this list meets the criteria to be at a featured level and look forward to all comments and concerns. MWright96 (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * "It was launched on 1 May 1959 by the Royal Automobile Club (RAC) as an appeal" - I don't really follow what this means. How was the award an appeal?
 * "The winner was given the trophy at an annual ceremony" - bit vague. I would say either "The winner was initially given the trophy at an annual ceremony" or "The winner was given the trophy at an annual ceremony until 19XX" if the exact date is known
 * "Of the 19 recipients, all but six have gone on to win the World Championship on 24 occasions" - as worded, this says that 13 recipients have each won the World Championship 24 times. Suggest rewording to "Of the 19 recipients, all but six have gone on to win the World Championship, with a total of 24 wins between them"
 * One of the Mansell images is obviously cropped from another - I would suggest not having them right next to each other to mix things up a bit
 * Think that's it from me. Nice work overall! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:30, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Overall, a great listicle. Harrias talk 08:59, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "..for Mike Hawthorn, the racing driver who.." I think replacing "the" with "a" would make more sense here.
 * "..by the Goldsmiths Company freeman K. Lessons.." I'm not sure what this means?
 * "..who has the most wins of any other driver with ten." Remove "other".
 * I'd love to see the table expanded to have a "position" column, noting what position the driver finished in the world championship. It would give more context to the award, and to "records" such as Jenson's ninth.
 * Have taken action on all four of the above points. MWright96 (talk) 11:02, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support Nice work as usual. Harrias  talk 11:24, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
 * NB: I will claim WikiCup points for this review. Harrias  talk 14:19, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Source review – There are no obvious dead links according to the link-checker tool, and the reliability and formatting appear to be okay. The source review has been passed. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 20:24, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
