Max Verstappen has been voted Driver of the Year by RaceFans readers for the third year in a row.
The Red Bull driver, who won the world championship for the third year running this season, was the choice of more than half of our readers.
Verstappen smashed records as he extended his reign as F1 world champion. As well as winning 19 grands prix in a single season and scoring more than twice as many points as his closest rival, he became the first driver in the history of the world championship to win 10 consecutive races.

RaceFans 2023 F1 Driver of the Weekend winners
Two drivers scooped the majority of votes in our post-race polls during the 2023 season. Verstappen and Fernando Alonso were each voted Driver of the Weekend a total of four times each.
Only two other drivers did so more than once. Lando Norris topped the poll for three rounds running in the middle of the season.
Carlos Sainz Jnr won the poll twice and his Singapore Grand Prix victory – the only defeat inflicted on Red Bull all season – earned him the most emphatic win in our poll of the season, as over three-quarters of readers named him their Driver of the Weekend.
