Formula 1's Driver of the Day category is back in 2024 to help provide an extra level excitement to fans at the backend of races.
Your next chance to take part on race day is TODAY (Sunday, July 21), during the Hungarian 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.

How is F1 Driver of the Day chosen?
As we said, this is all about the F1 fans getting a chance to decide the award during every single race.
Voting opens during the latter stages of each race and closes when the race ends.

It’s incredibly simple to get involved. You just need to go to the voting page on the official F1 website and cast your vote once the window opens.
Your next opportunity is Sunday, July 28, at the Belgian Grand Prix.
What is the prize for Driver of the Day?
Drivers do not receive a trophy, and there is no financial incentive. It is simply a recognition of a driver's performance from the viewing public.
