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 the Netherlands saw Lando Norris secure a dominant victory by a margin of 22.896 seconds over home favorite Max Verstappen.

The young Brit was voted DOTD with 24.6% of the vote, followed by Charles Leclerc with 17.5% and Lewis Hamilton with 14%.
