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, June 9, at the Canadian 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 for the Monaco GP?

Monaco native Charles Leclerc has finally achieved a dream win on his home track, one that saw him at the top step of the podium for the first time since Austria in 2022.

The Ferrari star led the race from start to finish, fending off challenges from McLaren's Oscar Piastri and his team-mate Carlos Sainz.

The Monégasque was awarded DOTD after receiving 32.4% of the fan votes.
