Who is the GPblog Driver of the Day?

The global viewers of Formula 1 voted massively for Lando Norris as Driver of the Day. The McLaren driver led for a long time, but a few laps before the end it started to rain. Norris decided not to come in for intermediates, so he ended up only on P7. It was a dramatic end for the team.

Hamilton eventually ran away with the win, but he was surprised by Verstappen who drove from P20 to P2. Sainz also managed to finish on the podium after his second place in qualifying. Bottas struggled to get going, but drove from P16 to P5.
