The Lorenzo Bandini Trophy (Trofeo Lorenzo Bandini in Italian) is a prize awarded in memory of Italian racecar driver Lorenzo Bandini.
It was established in 1992 by Bandini's hometown of Brisighella, to be awarded each year for a commendable performance in motorsport.
In 2015 the award was given to the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team representing the first time a constructor has won the award instead of a person. The award was in recognition of Mercedes's highly commendable performances in Formula 1 following the 2014 regulation change which introduced hybrid technology coupled with V6 engines.
