Max Verstappen was named 'Driver of the Day' on Sunday by fans of Formula 1. The Red Bull Racing driver managed to finish in a great second place, splitting the two Mercedes.

A close vote!

It was an exciting battle for the title 'Driver of the Day', because Verstappen does not have a large gap to second. The Dutchman received a total of 13.7% of all votes, 1.4% more than Charles Leclerc received. The Monegasque managed to steer his Ferrari to sixth position, despite a poor car.

Lewis Hamilton completes the top three with 10.5% of the votes. Hamilton had a race with problems due to the ten-second penalty he received early in the Grand Prix. Final race winner Valtteri Bottas is back in fourth position with 10%. Bottas took his ninth victory of his F1 career and now has as many wins as Verstappen.
