Can anyone date the beginning of the manufacturer receiving a trophy on F1 podiums (podia) please?

Is this question the right way round? Surely the trophies were originally awarded to the car's entrant but presented to the driver along with the laurel wreath and a kiss from the local beauty queen.

Should the question be opened up by asking "When were separate trophies for entrants and drivers introduced?"

And the answer is?

It would have varied from race to race

A pure guess would be that separate driver trophies were first awarded in the 1930s, and that the process was not completed until some time in the 1980s

I am trying to establish the date in ''modern F1' and guessed about two years after Ron took over McLaren.
