Who has won the most fan-voted awards?

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Driver of the Day is a fan-voted feature which can add an exciting element to an F1 race. Although there is no prize — other than bragging rights — it can still be a great achievement for a driver to claim at the end of the race.  

The award was first introduced in 2016 at the opening race of the season — the Australian Grand Prix — with the award being handed to Romain Grosjean at Haas. The French driver made up 13 places after starting 19th and finishing in sixth, scoring Haas their first points on their debut race.

Who has won Driver of the Day the most?

Max Verstappen has been named the Driver of the Day the most since the vote was introduced in 2016. He took his first one at the 2016 Spanish GP after winning his debut race for Red Bull.

In taking that first race win at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya he became not only the first Dutchman to claim the top spot on the podium, but also the youngest driver to both win a race and stand on an F1 podium at 18 years and 288 days old. Verstappen broke the records that had previously been set by Sebastian Vettel at the 2008 Italian GP when the German was 21 years and 74 days old. 

Verstappen has taken two memorable Driver of the Day wins at the Austrian GP. The first came in 2016 after his second career podium, giving Red Bull its first podium at its home race. The Dutchman also won the vote at the 2018 race when he took the victory and secured the team its first win at the Red Bull Ring.

2. Sebastian Vettel — 23 wins

Vettel has the second-most Driver of the Day awards with 23 wins between 2016 and 2022. The German took his first fan-voted win at the 2016 Singapore GP after converting a qualifying position of 22nd into fifth. The Driver of the Day award was one of three he received that year, with further wins at the Mexican and Abu Dhabi grands prix. 

Another Driver of the Day win came at the controversial 2019 Canadian GP after Vettel had faced a close fight with Lewis Hamilton. The German was handed a five-second penalty for re-entering the track unsafely and forcing Hamilton off the track at Turn 4.

Despite winning the race on track, the penalty dropped Vettel behind Hamilton, handing him second place. Incensed by the penalty, he then performed one of his more memorable moments when he picked up the first-place sign from in front of Hamilton’s car and placed it in the empty spot where he had refused to park his Ferrari. 

Vettel’s last Driver of the Day came at the 2022 Abu Dhabi GP — the four-time world champion’s final race in F1 – as fans chose to show him their support.

Norris is quickly racking up Driver of the Day wins, topping half of the polls already this season. The Brit’s first win came during his rookie season at the 2019 French GP after he finished in ninth despite battling a hydraulics problem which left him unable to use his DRS.  

Another Driver of the Day win came at the 2021 Russian GP, when Norris looked set to take his maiden victory. Having qualified on pole and led most of the race, Norris was faced with a dilemma when heavy rain fell in the closing laps. Opting to remain on slicks, this decision backfired and resulted in him dropping to seventh as Hamilton took the victory. 

He took the Driver of the Day vote at the 2023 British Grand Prix after getting a better start off the line and taking the lead into the first corner. Norris’ home crowd went wild as the Brit held off the chasing Verstappen for the first four laps. Although he was not able to take the win, Norris did finish second, just ahead of fellow British driver Hamilton. 

Norris has proven increasingly popular with the fans this season, taking half the Driver of the Day wins in 2024. His most notable win came at the Miami GP when he claimed his maiden victory after taking the lead on lap 27.

=4. Lewis Hamilton — 14 wins

Seven-time world champion Hamilton is tied fourth in this ranking. His first win came at the 2016 Belgian GP after starting the race in 21st and finishing in third, making him the first driver to claim three podiums after starting 20th or lower.

Hamilton also took the Driver of the Day vote at the 2018 German GP after winning the race from 14th. The victory allowed both the British driver and Mercedes to snatch the lead in the respective championship battles from Vettel and Ferrari. 
Hamilton’s most recent Driver of the Day win came at the 2023 Spanish GP after finishing third, despite floor damage from a first-corner crash with his team-mate George Russell.

Perez has equalled the 14 Driver of the Day wins of Hamilton just four races after the British driver. The Mexican driver took his first award at the 2016 Monaco GP and claimed his second of the year two races later at the European GP — the first F1 race held at the Baku City Circuit in Azerbaijan.  

He failed to claim another Driver of the Day for four years, with his next fan-voted award coming at the 2020 Styrian GP, where he qualified 17th and finished in sixth, setting several fastest laps as he fought for a potential podium finish.

Perez also took the Driver of the Day vote at the 2021 Mexican GP, where he claimed third place and became the first Mexican driver to take a podium at his home race. 

His latest Driver of the Day came at the 2023 Hungarian GP when he qualified ninth but ended up on the podium.

Leclerc took his first Driver of the Day win at the 2018 Azerbaijan GP where he finished sixth and scored his first points in Formula 1 while driving for Sauber. He became the first Monegasque driver to take points during a race since Louis Chiron finished third at the 1950 Monaco GP.

After moving to Ferrari in 2019, Leclerc claimed another Driver of the Day win at that year’s Italian GP after he was able to claim his second F1 victory. This followed directly on from his win at the Belgian GP.

Leclerc’s only Driver of the Day win of 2023 came at the Las Vegas GP, which saw him defeat Perez after a tense battle before finishing in second.

His latest Driver of the Day came at the 2024 Monaco GP, when he was able to finally break the so-called ‘curse’ to stand on the top step of the podium on his hometown streets.

Daniel Ricciardo claimed his first Driver of the Day at the 2016 German GP, after taking second place in his 100th grand prix start. His 13th podium finish ended with the first of his iconic shoey celebrations, with the Australian pouring champagne into his boot before drinking it. 

Ricciardo took the Driver of the Day win at the 2017 British GP after he qualified at the back of the grid and was able to climb to fifth by the time he crossed the finish line. He took another Driver of the Day at the Tuscan GP, after finishing fourth in the race and was in contention to secure Renault’s first podium in nine years. 

He also claimed Driver of the Day at the 2021 Italian GP in Monza after scoring McLaren’s first grand prix win since Hamilton’s success at the 2010 Canadian GP.

Alonso has claimed just six Driver of the Day wins since its introduction in 2016. The Spaniard’s first win came at the 2018 Australian GP after he turned the qualifying position of 11th into fifth during the race. He then also took the win at the final race of the season, the Abu Dhabi GP, as fans seemed to give him a parting gift before he exited the sport for a short-lived retirement.

Alonso made his return to F1 in 2021 and was given a Driver of the Day win at the Qatar GP when he took his first podium since the 2014 Hungarian GP. It was his first podium Team Enstone — currently racing as Alpine — since the 2009 Singapore GP when it raced as Renault.

He started the 2023 season with a string of strong performances after joining Aston Martin. Alonso took the Driver of the Day win during the season opener in Bahrain when he found himself back on the podium, with a surprise third-place.  

Number of Driver of the Day awards won 

Sainz has equalled the number of Driver of the Day wins of Alonso, after claiming two so far in 2024. His first fan-voted win came at the 2021 Turkish GP after making a number of overtakes in the first laps of the race, moving from 19th to eighth.  

The Spaniard claimed the Driver of the Day win at the 2023 Singapore GP when he was able to secure his second career win. Sainz had led the entire race and then strategically kept Norris in his DRS range during the final laps, making it harder for both Mercedes drivers to fight for second place. The Ferrari driver’s victory was the only win by a non-Red Bull driver in the 2023 season. 

Sainz’s two 2024 awards came early, in Bahrain and Australia. In the latter, he also secured the race win as Verstappen was forced to retire with a brake issue. This was only the second non-Red Bull victory in 25 races, the other occasion also resulting on Sainz taking a trip to the top step of the podium.

Number of Driver of the Day awards won 

Bottas took his first Driver of the Day win at the 2017 Russian Grand Prix after the Finnish driver claimed his maiden grand prix victory. He took the win just four races into his first season with Mercedes, leading Vettel by just 0.617 seconds. 

Bottas took another Driver of the Day win at the 2019 Australian GP where he claimed the race victory from second place, which then gave him the lead in the drivers’ championship standings.

F1 Austrian GP sprint race and qualifying

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Max Verstappen grabbed sprint race pole position at the Red Bull Ring by beating Lando Norris by 0.093s in sprint qualifying.

Charles Leclerc was held up by an anti-stall issue with his Ferrari which denied him the chance to set his sole lap time in the final segment of qualifying, which means he’ll start the sprint race in 10th.

Red Bull’s Sergio Perez and Alpine duo Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly almost tripped over each other trying to start their final qualifying laps which effectively wrecked all their times – leaving Perez seventh, Ocon eighth and Gasly ninth.

Why ‘miles off’ Alpine didn’t prompt Gasly to give up on its F1 recovery

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Pierre Gasly could easily have been forgiven for thinking that Alpine is not the best place to make him a winner again in Formula 1.

After starting the campaign at the back of the grid, seeing key staff leave and there being talk of a potential end-of-works team status down the road, it has been a far from ideal season.

But after agreeing on a contract extension ahead of the Austrian GP that commits him to the French manufacturer, Gasly is adamant that Alpine can still deliver him everything that he wants.

Rather than thinking what has been witnessed in 2024 is a sign of where he thinks it will be over the next few years, he points to the fluctuating form of top teams like McLaren and Mercedes as evidence that performance never sits still for long in F1.

So instead of basing his final decision on how the A524 is performing now, he says what he is seeing behind the scenes – with infrastructure changes and a fresh approach – is far more critical to sealing his belief in what Alpine can offer.

«Personally, I’ve seen enough in F1 that you cannot rely on a single-car concept,» he said.

«McLaren has proved it in the last two years, and Mercedes also showed they sometimes get it right and sometimes get it wrong. It takes some time to get back to the top.

«But it is mainly in the structure, in the facilities and in the technical stuff you are bringing. That was the most important to me, so that is why I tried to pay attention [to it].

«Over the last couple of months, I tried to see the dynamic going on at the factory and, regardless of the performance on the track, which is miles from where we want to be, we are trying to see solutions and things we can bring on board.

«Obviously Luca [de Meo] and Bruno [Famin] played a big part, as everyone is trying to defend what they have, and 2026 is also going to be a big change of regulations. It is why it took a bit of time before making my own decision.»

While confirmation of his new deal comes just one week after the arrival of Flavio Briatore as a consultant to de Meo, Gasly is adamant that the Italian’s presence in the team was not key to him putting pen to paper.

«No, Flavio didn’t really influence,» he said. «It was a long conversation over the last couple of months, but it was time to commit for my future. I am very happy and very excited to commit to the team, because it is also good to have some stability in my career.

«I went through Toro Rosso, Red Bull, back, and then to Alpine. But not always with a strong dynamic.

«And from what I am seeing from the team and from my relationship with the team, with Luca de Meo, with Bruno, it is going extremely well, and we have clear ambitions. I really like Luca’s ambition and where he wants to bring the team over the next few years, and I trust in his management. I am very excited to be a part of the project.»

While Briatore may only have been at Alpine a week, it has already become clear that he has been commissioned to complete a root-and-branch review of everything that the team is doing to get it back to the front.

It potentially marks a change of direction, but one that Gasly thinks was already underway back at Enstone in a bid to recover from the poor start to 2024.

Asked if Alpine was in need of an outsider to make some tough calls, Gasly said: «You have different approaches. I don’t think there is a secret person or tool that can really trigger a big change.

«We talk a lot about the main figures of a race team but, when you see how many people are working back at the factory, finding the performance, finding the gains, in the wind tunnel, the CFD, mechanically…

«I’ve been going quite deep in the team in all the different departments and giving my input and working quite closely with them and trying to lead them to where I want. There is a very good and transparent communication.

«It will take some time to correct the slow start to the year that we had, but I do see some good potential. And hopefully with new people, already inside the team or coming outside, with new ideas and a strong desire to make the team great again, hopefully we can make it all work.»

And with Briatore talking of a two-year target that he has laid down to get Alpine back near the front of F1, Gasly thinks it not impossible that where things are at by 2026 will be different to now.

«I am an optimistic person and a positive person, and I definitely welcome anyone who is coming to contribute positively to the team,» he said.

«He has got very clear ideas and ambitions, and he has been there and won and he has worked with the team. He is very excited to bring all these ingredients to Enstone. If we can make it in two years, I’ll be more than happy.»

«Overcritical» Norris chasing final percent to beat Verstappen in F1

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Lando Norris admits he was too critical of his Spanish Grand Prix start as he tries to find ways to beat Max Verstappen in Formula 1.

Norris pipped runaway championship leader Verstappen to Barcelona pole by a mere 0.020 seconds, showcasing the tight battle the two teams are in now.

But the McLaren driver didn’t enjoy his lead for very long, being unable to keep Verstappen at bay off the line, and then seeing Mercedes’s George Russell slingshot past both of them to swoop into a Turn 1 lead.

Norris fought his way past Russell to finish second, but Red Bull remained out of striking range.

In his trademark style, Norris slated himself for not having as good a start as Verstappen, feeling like that’s where he lost his chance for a second career win.

Following post-race analysis, Norris conceded he was too self-critical as Verstappen just had a marginally better launch, and Russell’s powerful slipstream on the long run down to Turn 1 was hard to resist anyway.

PLUS: Why it wasn’t just Russell’s start that cost Norris the Spanish GP victory

But it is indicative of the final 1% that Norris feels he and McLaren need to find to beat the Verstappen-Red Bull juggernaut, which has been nailing results even on nominally weaker circuits such as Imola or Montreal.

When asked where that final percent is coming from, he replied: «I don’t think there’s an easy answer to it.

«Even my start was not a bad start. At the time maybe I was a bit overcritical on saying I had a bad start, but I didn’t and George still would have passed me.

«It’s just that in every little area, we just need a little bit more preparation or a bit more practice on Fridays or Saturdays and getting these things nailed down.

«I could have easily tried to be a hero and gone around the outside of Max, and that only would have caused a crash, and I would have ended up taking George out.

«After Turn 2, everything was very good, even our strategy. I know we got a lot of criticism on strategy, but that’s from people who have no idea what they’re talking about.

«So, I’m very happy with probably 99.5%. Just a couple of metres off the line cost me last weekend.»

It is just one example of how every tiny detail needs to be correct to challenge Red Bull, even if McLaren appeared to have the quickest car in Spain.

PLUS: Does McLaren now have Formula 1’s fastest package?

But Norris doesn’t believe his MCL38 was that much faster than Verstappen’s RB20, instead identifying his fresher tyres as the reason why he was clawing back his deficit in the final stint.

«Even after reviewing last weekend, I don’t necessarily think we had a much quicker car than Red Bull,» he insisted.

«I looked quicker than Max because of my extended stints, having a decent tyre delta over him.

«It might not look like anything, but four laps of tyre delta to another car in Barcelona is quite extreme in terms of lap time difference.»

But Norris says he has seen enough of how his car has developed in recent races, and become more of an all-rounder after dialling out low-speed weaknesses, to keep challenging Verstappen and add to his lone Miami win.

«There are just tiny little things I needed to tidy up and, as a team, we have to do a slightly better job,» he added.

«But a lot of it was at the level that it needs to be, so we could go on and win some races.

«I definitely think that’s possible with how the team is performing, how I’m performing at the minute.

«But we’re against one of the best drivers ever in Formula 1, one of the best-performing teams in Formula 1, so everything needs to be executed perfectly well and last weekend everything was not executed perfectly well.

«That one thing that wasn’t, that’s what cost us.»

Sainz learning to trust ‘very few’ people in F1 paddock over 2025 talks

Опубликовано от ASPPA IMAGES ANO


Carlos Sainz reckons talks with other teams over his future have taught him how «tough» Formula 1’s landscape can be, and to trust ‘very few’ people in the paddock.

Although Sainz stated at the Barcelona round that he hoped to have a resolution on his F1 future ‘very soon’, he noted that a triple-header was not the time to exercise clarity of thought about his movements for 2025.

He says that in taking his time, he has been able to learn a lot more about the other teams on the grid, with regard to their future plans and the current situation at each one.

The Spaniard has spent a long period of time being linked with Sauber and Williams, although Alpine is understood to have tabled a late offer.

Conversely, he felt that it was often difficult to believe certain standpoints within negotiations over his future, adding that there were few people in the paddock that he was able to fully trust.

«First of all, the situation that I’ve been in this year has made me learn a lot about Formula 1 in general,» Sainz explained.

«By talking to teams it has kind of shown me how tough this sport is and how little sometimes you have to believe what people say at the beginning of negotiations, conversations, and mainly people.

«Also to trust very little people in the paddock because it’s really a very political sport.

«There’s a lot of things like this involved, and it’s made me understand it’s a very tough sport in that sense and understand a better picture of Formula 1 without going too much into detail.

«Apart from the other teams, obviously I’ve learned a lot in which position they are in and the teams that I am potentially moving to next year, I’ve obviously dug in a lot into the state that they are and the situation that there is.

«And yeah, it’s also made me have probably a better understanding of how Formula 1 each team is and where they are.»

He added that it was difficult not to get carried away with recent results among some of his options, and stated that this was something that he was trying not to do as he maps out his future in the championship.

Instead, he wishes to maintain a level of objectivity over a team’s future plans and try to focus on the longer-term projects being offered to him.

«I’m doing the exercise within myself and my team to really try to avoid looking at each race performance of each team and just focus on the project and the feeling that I get by talking to each team and obviously looking at the contracts.

«I agree, it’s not easy because sometimes you, the competitive spirit, you just try and see who is faster, but I don’t think the last race of each team is also a representative point of where they’re going to be in the next couple of years.»
