DRIVER OF THE DAY: Verstappen gets your vote after marathon in Malaysia

It was close, but once again the Dutchman got your nod after a stellar showing at the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia.

He won on Formula 1’s last visit to Sepang almost a decade ago, and there was no stopping Max Verstappen there in 2026 – despite the best efforts of the Malaysian weather, which meant the race ended almost three and a half hours after its scheduled start time.

The four-time World Champion’s masterful drive was his and Red Bull’s first victory of the season, the first-ever for a Red Bull Ford power unit, and one you clearly enjoyed. Here’s how the voting broke down…

Max Verstappen - 25.9%
Lewis Hamilton - 25.3%
Fernando Alonso - 11.2%
Kimi Antonelli - 6.1%
Charles Leclerc - 5.1%
