DRIVER OF THE DAY: Leclerc takes your vote with Texas podium for Ferrari
He may not be in contention for race wins of late, but you just can't keep this man off the F1 rostrum...

A superb start from Charles Leclerc lifted him from P3 to P2 in Austin - and a masterclass in defensive driving kept the Ferrari man there for much of the afternoon, despite the best efforts of a marauding Lando Norris.
Ultimately Leclerc had to give best to the McLaren's superior pace, but that didn't stop you recognising a drive of supreme class as the Monegasque secured the final podium place. Here’s how the voting broke down…
Charles Leclerc - 35%
Max Verstappen - 18.2%
Lando Norris - 8.9%
Lewis Hamilton - 7.8%
Yuki Tsunoda - 6%
