Hamilton voted as 'Driver of the Day' after his brilliant drive at Spa
Lewis Hamilton did everything right at today's Belgian Grand Prix, but the win slipped through his fingers in the end. However, the seven-time world champion was voted as Driver of the Day thanks to his faultless drive and eye-catching pace.
Hamilton made a superb start from the second row, getting ahead of Red Bull's Sergio Perez to power into second positon. The Briton did not hesitate long to take over the lead on Lap 3, going past the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc on the Kemmel straight.
Although he looked in control of the lead, a strategy decision by his team and George Russell saw his team-mate grab the lead as all other top drivers went for a two-stop strategy. In the final stages of the race, he then rapidly closed down Russell who was on a one-stop strategy. However, it did not prove enough and Hamilton took the flag in second, just 0.5s down.
His excellent drive saw Hamilton earn the title of the Driver of the Day.
