Positioned on the starting grid with Ferrari number 1 proudly displayed on his car, he exuded confidence that only comes from years of honing one's craft. Not limited by brand loyalty alone, Hawthorn also demonstrated prowess behind various other vehicles such as Cooper Bristol and BRM in different races across Goodwood and beyond. His versatility was unmatched as he seamlessly adapted to each new challenge thrown his way. Off-track camaraderie played an integral role in Hawthorn's life too; captured in timeless images like that of him engaged in conversation with Stirling Moss at Goodwood in 1956.
