After getting back to winning ways after going 12 rounds without one, Valtteri Bottas has been voted Driver of the Day in the Formula 1's official poll for his fantastic drive at Suzuka!

The Finn was rapid when the lights went out, taking advantage of Sebastian Vettel's slow start as he went down his and Charles Leclerc's outside to take the lead into turn 1.

Although teammate Lewis Hamilton took the lead after the first pitstops, Bottas knew his British counterpart had to come in again. Bottas grasped the opportunity with both hands and drove away from Vettel in P2, recording his third win of the season and his first since Baku.
