Driver of the Day: Norris gets your vote after coming oh-so-close to maiden F1 win in Sochi

He drove a near faultless Russian Grand Prix, starting from pole, losing but regaining the lead, and then controlling a charging Lewis Hamilton in the closing stages. The late rain proved his undoing – unlike Hamilton, he made the wrong call to stay on slicks – but it was nonetheless a highly impressive performance from McLaren's Lando Norris, and you rightfully acknowledged it. Here’s how the voting broke down…
Lando Norris - 33.9%
Max Verstappen - 13.9%
Lewis Hamilton - 9.9%
Sergio Perez - 6.5%
Carlos Sainz - 5.9%
