Sebastian Vettel was voted Driver of the Day by Formula 1 fans worldwide, but which driver did the GPblog community think stood out at the Circuit of the Americas. Several drivers had an outstanding race. Who are you calling 'GPblog Driver of the Day'?

Max Verstappen impressed by not backing down after Red Bull Racing's dramatic pit stop. He managed to pass Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton on the track in a relatively short space of time. Leclerc had a good Sunday himself, as he had to come from outside the top ten and still finished handsomely on the podium.

Fernando Alonso had to cry out and start again after his crash with Lance Stroll. The Alpine driver was impressed by still finishing number seven. Vettel, who lost precious seconds in a pit stop, crossed the finish line in eighth place, but it could certainly have been sixth if not for the problems.

Finally, we also have Kevin Magnussen who finally scored some points again for Haas F1. The Dane used a one-stop and it paid off. Hugely clever, as Pirelli had not thought this strategy possible in the calculations.
