Vote for the Driver of the Race!

The challenge in selecting the nominees for the Driver of the Race vote did not lie in a lack of exceptional performances, but rather in the sheer overload of skill, strategy, and camaraderie that characterized the opening races of this season. From the front-runners battling for podium glory to the unsung heroes in the midfield showcasing their talent, the races in Europe and the Americas showed a thrilling and unpredictable spectacle.

What stood out most was the collective commitment to fair play and sportsmanship, that could be found throughout the field – and was tested thoroughly by the first chicane throughout the race. And as we open the vote for the Driver of the Race, we invite the community and everyone who watched the race to cast their ballots. The choice is yours – as we celebrate the entire grid for contributing to races that give us a hard time waiting for Round 2.

Here are your nominees for the “Driver of the Race” of Round 1 in the European and the Americas Championship.
