Even if a driver has not had a successful season, it does not mean he ends the year without any trophies. Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone recently created a series of awards, nicknamed “The Bernie’s”, which are the sport’s equivalent of the Oscars.
A panel of experts and other drivers vote for who should receive these trophies, and they go to various categories each year. The categories include the best track, the best rookie, and the best driver. There is also a special award called the “Drivers’ Driver”, in which every driver – and test driver – votes for the man they consider to be the best in the sport. This accolade is very prestigious because it appreciates the efforts of drivers who sometimes don’t drive for the best teams.
