Verstappen gives hilarious reaction after being crowned Driver of the Day in Australia

Through no fault of his own, the Dutchman had to start from P20 on the grid after a crash in Q1. The Red Bull driver worked his way up to eventually finish in sixth place, behind the two Mercedes, the two Ferraris and Lando Norris.

The vote at the end of the race declared the four-time world champion as the 'Driver of the Day'.

During his media sessions after the race, when speaking to ESPN, he was told about that result.

"Yes!" the Dutchman shouted cynically while pumping his fist in the air and laughing.

Earlier this Monday, it was announced that the Dutchman will race at this year's 24h of Nurburgring with his own team.

"The 24h Nürburgring is a race that’s been on my bucket list for a long time, so I’m really thrilled we can make it happen now," Verstappen said.
