VOTE: Who was your Driver of the Day in Singapore?
F1 News
- Nicolás Quarles van Ufford
We've had another fantastic day of racing in Formula 1, with the Singapore Grand Prix giving us a bit of everything; strategy mix-ups, collisions, Safety Cars, overtaking and so on! Who was the best driver during all of this action? Let us know by voting in the poll below!
In the official F1 vote, race winner Sebastian Vettel won Driver of the Day as the German secured his first F1 win in over a year. It was his fifth win under the floodlights at the Marina Bay Street Circuit and his 53rd win in the sport overall, and perhaps one of the more challenging ones.
After undercutting teammate Charles Leclerc, Vettel did an excellent job keeping the Monegasque at bay and cutting through the midfield cars that were ahead after their pitstop. When Safety Cars also became a factor, Vettel showed good racecraft to start flooring it two corners before the main straight when the Safety Car was coming back into the pits. It threw off Leclerc on the two instances when he did it, creating some breathing space and ultimately giving him the gap to once again be victorious in F1.
There were other excellent performers, however. How about Nico Hülkenberg, who suffered a puncture on lap one but still drove his way back into the points? Or Robert Kubica, who didn't finish in the points but showed tremendous race pace and defended brilliantly midway through the race?
