In 2016, the FIA introduced the "Driver of the Day"-election. During every race, fans could vote on their favourite F1 pilot via the Formula 1 website [1], with the "DotD"-election initially ending at the same time as the race. Since 2020, the poll closes a lap prior to the finish. Directly after the finish, the winner's name is broadcast; since 2020, the 'DotD' is interviewed during the lap after finishing. Max Verstappen is so far racking up the most wins. In contrast, Nico Rosberg only won the election once during his 2016 world championship season.
