This Sunday we get to enjoy the annual Autosport Awards where every who’s anyone in motorsport attends this glamorous event to celebrate the best talent of the year. It’s a good fun event that gives us the opportunity to see personalities, including drivers being a more relaxed and having a good time.

At previous years we’ve seen the likes of Sebastian Vettel being downright hilarious on stage and we’re expecting much more this year too – Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will be there – the latter is getting “Rookie of the Year” – yes, that’s right – Rookie – for his Indy 500 performance.

You can watch the whole event online via YouTube and you should follow @BadgerGP on Twitter because we’ll be live-tweeting from the red carpet as the finest of motorsport folk rock up to the event.

It’s also good to see Nelson Piquet (the multiple champ not the Singapore slinger) be awarded for his contribution to motorsport, receiving the lifetime achievement award – for more info, see below.

The live video stream can be found here (on Sunday)
