New Autosport award honours Henry Hope-frost
Autosport International’s tributes to the late Henry Hope-frost included the launch of a new journalism prize in his honour – the HHF Fever Award.
Lucy Morson became the first recipient of the award, which will be given annually to the most promising member of the Autosport Academy training scheme and offers a year’s paid internship with the Autosport publications.
A Motorsport News contributor since she first joined the Academy as a 16-year-old in 2015, Morson was presented with the award on the Autosport Stage by Hope- Frost’s father Tim and son Oscar.
Autosport Academy founder Matt Beer said: “Everyone who shared the Autosport office with Henry will remember his loudlyexpressed disdain for bad writing and grammatical errors, so it’s entirely appropriate that the award winner is someone whose extremely high-quality copy would’ve delighted him every time it landed on his desk.”
Morson’s Autosport role will commence when she completes her English degree at Oxford Brookes University later this year.
