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?

Last time out in Belgium saw Lewis Hamilton secure his second win of the season and his 105th overall after George Russell's disqualification for a weight infringement.

The seven-time champion was voted DOTD with 26.1% of the vote, followed by Oscar Piastri with 14.9% and Max Verstappen with 10.7%.

Here is the full 2024 roll of honor:

This is all about the F1 fans getting a chance to decide the award during every single race.

Voting opens during the latter stages of each race and closes when the race ends.

How to vote for Driver of the Day

It’s incredibly simple to get involved. You just need to go to the voting page on the official F1 website and cast your vote once the window opens.

Your next opportunity is Sunday, September 1, at the Italian Grand Prix.

What is the prize for Driver of the Day?

Drivers do not receive a trophy, and there is no financial incentive. It is simply a recognition of a driver's performance from the viewing public.
