The 2024 Formula 1 season ended on Sunday December 8 with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the drivers are now rested. Max Verstappen obtained his fourth world champion title in a row and the Dutch driver will therefore aim for a fifth coronation in 2025. But while he is resting, he has just obtained two awards in quick succession in recent days. On Saturday, we learned that he had been voted driver of the season by the team directors. He had obtained the maximum possible points, making it clear that the team principals had been impressed by his season. But Verstappen also impressed the other drivers on the grid since he was elected driver of the 2024 season by them.
Verstappen voted driver of the season by his colleagues
Alexander Albon, Fernando Alonso, Valtteri Bottas, Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly, Nico Hülkenberg, Liam Lawson, Charles Leclerc, Kevin Magnussen, Lando Norris, Esteban Ocon, Oscar Piastri, George Russell, Carlos Sainz, Lance Stroll, Yuki Tsunoda and Zhou Guanyu voted at the end of this 2024 season for the best driver of the year. And while Max Verstappen, Sergio Pérez and Lewis Hamilton did not vote on their side, the first named was rewarded. With the same scale in force as for the Grand Prix of the world championship (25 points for first, 18 pts for second, 15 for third, etc.), Verstappen came in first. And even if the total points have not been revealed, Motorsport.com indicates that the Dutchman would have come first with a very good advance. He was elected ahead of Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc. We can also note the very good 7th place of Pierre Gasly, author of a very high end of the season.
