Kimi Raikkonen wins Driver of the Day award in Hungary

Kimi Raikkonen has been voted Driver of the Day for the first time this season after his drive at the Hungarian Grand Prix.

After starting from a lowly 14th position after his team miss-timed his final run in the second part of qualifying, the Ferrari driver worked his way through the field, eventually finishing sixth.

Raikkonen was involved in an intense battle with Max Verstappen in the closing stages of the race. Despite coming close on more than one occasion, even making contact with the Red Bull driver, he could not find a way past.

That didn't stop fans voting for him though as he became the sixth different Driver of the Day winner this season.

Manx Verstappen currently holds the most DotD wins this season with four from Spain, Canada, Austria, and Silverstone.
