Max Verstappen has been named the Formula 1 Driver of the Day following his outing at the Italian Grand Prix.
The Red Bull Racing driver clinched the race in dominant fashion against the McLarens. The 27-year-old, who had earlier set the record for the fastest qualifying lap in the history of the sport, led the Grand Prix for most of the race.
Verstappen’s impressive outing culminated in a 19-second gap to second-placed Lando Norris.
The Driver of the Day award, which is voted for by the fans, marked the fourth time throughout the 2025 campaign that the Dutch driver has clinched the prize.
With his performance in Monza, Verstappen also cut down the lead at the top of the Drivers’ Standings held by Oscar Piastri.
