F1 Driver of the Day: McLaren star makes it three in a row after a brilliant drive in Imola
All the winners so far in 2024
F1 Driver of the Day is back in 2024 to provide a sub-plot to the latter stages of every single race as fans get the chance to vote on the award.
Your next chance to play a part on race day is Sunday, May 26, at the Monaco Grand Prix.
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 won F1 Driver of the Day in Imola?
After a thrilling battle for victory in the closing stages, Norris secured the top spot in the fan-voted award with 31.4% of the votes.
Norris, starting second on the grid, held his ground and clinched his third consecutive podium finish. Charles Leclerc, who impressed with a strong third-place finish, followed Norris in the Driver of the Day voting with 11.3%.
Oscar Piastri grabbed 9% of the votes, while race winner Max Verstappen came in fourth with 8.6%. RB driver Yuki Tsunoda rounded out the top five with 6.5%.
