Formula One has confirmed Max Verstappen won its Austrian Grand Prix driver of the day vote, saying a technical error resulted in Williams' Robert Kubica initially being given that award.
During the wait for the winner of the race to be confirmed, it was noted that Kubica, who finished three laps down in 20th, had won the prize. Any reference to it was quickly removed from F1's official website as it investigated the result.
On Tuesday, F1 confirmed Verstappen had won the award with 74 percent of the vote, ahead of the man he passed for victory, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, on 11 pecent.
