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.

Who has won F1 Driver of the Day so far this season?

McLaren's Lando Norris finished second in F1's last outing in Canada, trailing winner Max Verstappen by less than four seconds.

The Brit, who claimed a sensational first win in Miami this season, received 24.7% of the votes, followed by Verstappen with 11.8%, and Lewis Hamilton with 9.5%.
