DRIVER OF THE DAY: Verstappen's comeback gets your vote for Australia

Sixth place may be modest by Max Verstappen's lofty standards, but considering he started the Melbourne race with 17 cars in front of him, it was a pretty punchy result. The Red Bull man pressured World Champion Lando Norris during the closing stages, and brought his team eight valuable points in the first race of their new power unit partnership with Ford. Here’s how the voting broke down…
Max Verstappen - 30%
Charles Leclerc - 14.2%
Arvid Lindblad - 10.5%
George Russell - 10.2%
Lewis Hamilton - 9.6%
