Career
Hawkins made her professional motorsport debut in British Formula Ford at Silverstone, in a one-off event where she twice finished inside the top ten.[4] Her strong rookie performance saw her being picked up by Falcon Motorsport to contest the 2015 MSA Formula Championship.[5] She had to wait until the fourth round of the championship at Oulton Park to make her debut, and only completed half of the ten-round championship – finishing 11th twice and placing 23rd in the championship.[6][7] She entered the Bahrain round of the 2015–16 MRF Challenge but finished 15th in both races.[8]
In 2016 Hawkins moved into single-make racing, competing in the Volkswagen Racing Cup series. Hawkins continued working as a stunt driver in 2021, featuring on James Bond film No Time to Die. On 19 May, she was announced as the driver ambassador for the Aston Martin F1 Team.[13] She returned to W Series for the second edition of the championship, once again placing 11th in the standings, with four points finishes between the Hungary and US races, including a 5th place finish in Zandvoort, and also made a one-off return to the BTCC at Snetterton when asked to take over the Ford Focus of Andy Neate when he elected to sit out the event.[14]
Hawkins holds the 0-100mph lawnmower record.[15]
In September 2023, Hawkins tested the Aston Martin AMR21 over 26 laps at Hungaroring, becoming the first female driver to test an F1 car since Tatiana Calderón with Sauber in 2018.[16] In November, Aston Martin announced that Hawkins' role within the team will be extended as the team's head of racing for F1 Academy, where she will be working closely with Aston Martin's F1 Academy representative driver Tina Hausmann.[17]
Hawkins is currently in a relationship with Abbie Eaton, also a British racing driver.[18]
