F1 Driver of the Day - Brilliant drive earns Brit back-to-back awards
F1 Driver of the Day is back for 2023 to provide a sub-plot to the latter stages of every single Grand Prix as fans get the chance to vote on the award.
Launched back in 2016, Driver of the Day is an official F1 award which creates much debate.
Remember, this is not about who wins the race or who has the fastest car. It’s the driver who has performed the best given the challenges he has faced on any given Sunday.
