Fans stunned as Vettel wins driver of the day
Sebastian Vettel had a dramatic start to the French Grand Prix as, in the opening lap shortly after Lights Out, he collided into the back of Valtteri Bottas, with the incident drastically affecting the duo's performance in the race. So, how did he manage to win Formula One's 'Driver of the Day'?
Here as some of the fan reactions:
How can people vote Seb driver of the day after the rookie mistake he did on turn 1 is really beyond me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! — Mick (@____Mick____) 24 June 2018
Vettel throws away his race, collides with Bottas, finishes P5, gets driver of the day? Seems logical. — Otto Ilmari (@otto_ilmari) 24 June 2018
Driver of the day is Seb? Are you serious? Lol, imagine choosing a guy who ruined his & others’ race ???? — Aya (@Aya_Shaker) 24 June 2018

No voting for him as driver of the day is stupid and a total joke. He’s supposed battling for the victory. Because of a BIG mistake, he’s only battle for fifth. Him as driver of the day is ridiculous — Fred B (@Fred76ers) 24 June 2018
I STILL want to know HOW IN THE HELL Vettel got driver of the day — Timi Akinlonu (@TimiAkinlonu) 24 June 2018
Just shows driver of the day really means nothing. — Martin Moss (@turbomar1) 24 June 2018
