The F2 admin made his negative feelings clear about fans choosing Red Bull’s Max Verstappen as Driver of the Day in Imola on Sunday.
Sunday’s race in Imola saw the Red Bulls charge their way back into the Title picture. Both Verstappen and Sergio Perez looked strong throughout the weekend, and continued their good form into the race.
Verstappen won the race quite comfortably with Perez following him in second. For the Milton-Keynes based team however, Ferrari’s nightmare of a weekend added to their glory.
Carlos Sainz’s race came to a close on the very first lap after he made contact with Daniel Ricciardo. Charles Leclerc on the other hand lost out on the podium after a mistake led to him spinning and clipping the barriers.
Verstappen became the first driver in F1 to win qualify on pole, win a Sprint race, win the main race and also get the fastest lap. His complete domination in Imola led to fans voting him as driver of the day. The F2 admin however, wasn’t so pleased.

George Russell or Yuki Tsunoda deserved DOTD over Max Verstappen?
It was a good outing in Imola for both Russell and Tsunoda. Russell in particular, shed clear daylight in between himself and teammate Lewis Hamilton n the race. Hamilton struggled throughout and finished P13, whereas Russell managed to take the W13 to a P4 finish.
Tsunoda himself grabbed some good points for AlphaTauri after the Japanese crossed the finishing line in seventh place. When F1’s official Instagram account posted that Verstappen had been voted DOTD, the F2 admin didn’t waste time in showing his/her distaste in the comments.
Verstappen’s win in Imola means that he’s now second in the standings behind Leclerc. The Dutchman has to hope for similarly good weekends for Red Bull and him, if they want to close the gap at the top.
