Just two years later he stepped up to Formula One at the Belgian Grand Prix \u2013 and at the wheel of a Ferrari won the French GP of 1953 at Reims. It was his ninth F1 start.<\/p>\n<p>Famously duelling with Fangio in a Jaguar at the ill-fated 24 Hours of Le Mans of 1955 in which 83 spectators lost their lives &#8211; he was, apparently, deeply affected by the tragedy \u2013 and this was just one of a series of losses that plagued Hawthorn\u2019s all-too brief life and career.<\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mike_hawthorn___stirling_moss__1954__by_f1_history-d6fqfrc.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mike_hawthorn___stirling_moss__1954__by_f1_history-d6fqfrc.jpg\" alt=\"mike_hawthorn___stirling_moss__1954__by_f1_history-d6fqfrc\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Hawthorn won the F1 championship of 1958 in a season where he only scored a single victory \u2013 in a famous season when Stirling Moss, who won four GPs that year, more or less sacrificed his own title in the name of gentlemanly racing, thereby helping to overturn a Hawthorn disqualification that would have landed him his all-elusive title.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a horrible irony that in such chivalrous times, cars \u2013 and the racing of them, was such a deadly game. Hawthorn died at the wheel of his Jaguar on the A3 in January 1959 \u2013 having lost his father and multiple friends and colleagues in similar circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>There must be some correlation to the danger and commitment needed for any given sport and the noblesse that practitioners are blessed with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And we think Lewis Hamilton should be forced to wear a dickie-bow at the helm of his Mercedes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Hawthorn_2266514k.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adrianflux.co.uk\/influx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Hawthorn_2266514k.jpg\" alt=\"Hawthorn_2266514k\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Britain&#8217;s first F1 champ was a winning dresser too&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":40110,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[110,1780],"tags":[183],"class_list":["post-40112","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-people","tag-motorsport","manufacturers-ferrari-2","manufacturers-jaguar","manufacturers-mercedes"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
