Having taken the award following the Austrailian Grand Prix, Grosjean and the Haas F1 Team are clearly becoming fan favourites. The number of votes cast or ranking of other drivers has not been made available at this time. With much greater emphasis on the vote from social media commentators it can be expected participation levels will have significantly increased for the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Links to future votes will be posted on this site.

Unfortunately FOM haven’t set up a Strategist of the day award yet. If they had Ruth Buscombe would have won hands down!

To be fair to Romain, this strategy only worked with a driver is capable of turning in the laps and passing on track. Looking at tyre allocations for Shanghai, Mclaren and Williams may well follow Haas down an aggressive super soft compound weighted race strategy ,
