Three-time Grand Prix winner and Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas was awarded the Trofeo Lorenzo Bandini for his motorsport achievements in 2017.
The prize was established in 1992 by Bandini's Italian hometown of Brisighella and is awarded each year for a commendable performance in motorsport.
A proud Bottas received the trophy on Saturday from the hands of Bandini's wife, Margherita, and commented on the event on Twitter.
"This is a big honour. I saw the list of drivers who received the Bandini Trophy before," said the 28-year-old Finn.
"There are some really impressive names on that list - just think of the total amount of championships these people have won! So I feel very honoured to now be a Bandini winner myself.
"I had some good moments last year and it's nice to be recognised for those. Driving the 2016 car on the roads just added to the excitement of this great day."
