F1 Driver of the Day: How to vote for the Miami Grand Prix and how it works

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 chance to play a part on race day is TODAY (Sunday, May 5) at the Miami 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.
