DRIVER OF THE DAY: Verstappen's punchy Hungary performance gets fan vote
A sterling performance in Hungary to take second, and he's your Driver of the Day.
The fastest laps chart showed that Max Verstappen had far from the quickest car around the Hungaroring - but when has that ever stopped the four-time World Champion from achieving a strong result? From fourth on the grid, the Red Bull star's never-say-die approach meant he ultimately kept both Ferraris and both Mercedes behind to take the chequered flag in second place, beaten only by reigning champ Lando Norris. Here’s how the voting numbers broke down…
Max Verstappen - 18.9%
Lando Norris - 17.1%
Kimi Antonelli - 11.2%
George Russell - 11%
Oscar Piastri - 8.9%
