Jessica Mary Hawkins (born 16 February 1995) is a British racing driver and stunt driver from East Hampshire, England. She currently competes in the 2024 British GT Championship driving for Beechdean Motorsport.




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. Her strong rookie performance saw her being picked up by Falcon Motorsport to contest the 2015 MSA Formula Championship. 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. She entered the Bahrain round of the 2015–16 MRF Challenge but finished 15th in both races.

In 2016 Hawkins moved into single-make racing, competing in the Volkswagen Racing Cup series. She crossed over to the Mini Challenge in 2017, scoring six class wins and finishing runner-up to Matt Hammond in the Pro division. Hawkins returned to the VW Cup in 2018, spending most of that year working as a stunt driver on Fast and Furious Live. In 2019 she moved to the newly-formed women-only W Series, where she finished the championship 11th after two points finishes in the last two races of the season. In 2020, after the cancellation of the W Series season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hawkins made her debut in the BTCC racing for Power Maxed Racing at Snetterton – qualifying 22nd and scoring only one top-20 finish.

Hawkins continued working as a stunt driver in 2021, featuring in the James Bond film No Time to Die. On 19 May, she was announced as the driver ambassador for the Aston Martin F1 Team. 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. She also made a one-off return to the BTCC at Snetterton, replacing Andy Neate having elected to sit out the event, with a best finish of 21st in three races.
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. 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 is working with Aston Martin's F1 Academy representative Tina Hausmann.




Personal life


Hawkins was previously in a relationship with Abbie Eaton, also a British racing driver.
Hawkins holds the 0-100 mph lawnmower record.
